Pick the Right Tool for the Job

There's a tool aisle that wants forty pounds of your money for something you'll use once. This works out what you actually need for the task, given what you already own and what you can spend. For each pick it tells you why it suits the job, whether to buy or rent, the safety bits, and a cheaper option that's nearly as good.

I need to complete the following task: {TASK_DESCRIPTION}. I already own: {TOOLS_I_OWN}. My budget for new tools is {TOOL_BUDGET} in {CURRENCY}. Recommend the best tool or combination of tools for this task. For each recommendation, tell me: the tool name, why it suits this task, whether to buy or rent, and any safety considerations. If a cheaper alternative exists that is 80% as effective, mention it. Finally, suggest one multi-purpose tool I could buy that would also serve future DIY projects of similar type.
