I'd put the ladder and hedge trimmer on the BUY list. If you have gutters (don't we all), you need a ladder. At least twice a year, spring and fall, I have to get up and clean them. I also use the ladder occasionally when pruning a tree that is close to the house.

As for the trimmer, hedges are always growing. They need to be trimmed 2-3 times per season (probably more but I'm lazy and that's as often as I get to them). Trimmers are cheap, anyway. I can't imagine renting one would make sense.

I've never rented any equipment so I've got nothing to add to that list.
