Yes. There is no such thing as too many tools.
This is the Escalade my family rented on a recent trip to Colorado.
I must say for being a 10 tonne piece of crap it's a lot of fun to be in. Sure there's no brakes or acceleration and the interior is plastic made to look like chrome, but it'll definately put a smile on your face... provided you get to return it after a week.

This man speaks the truth. If I could I'd have a whole workshop filled with tools and machines. Alas, I don't have the money, so instead I will slowly amass my collection over time.
I use a 3/8" drive torque wrench with adapters. It gets most jobs done with ease, and when I need more than it can handle, I borrow one(two or three times in my life).
Where did you rent from? That one isn't a rental fleet vehicle...
Hertz, and that is a rental one. Though it's the display model they have in front. The only difference between that and our was smaller rims and no roof racks, we even had the same colour. You can tell this is fleet from the interior features (ie. no sunroof, functionless buttons)
So wait, CO has gone backwards like 20 years and now you can tell at a glance who's a tourist driving a rental car? Wow, that's amazing. I haven't seen obvious indications of rental status since I was a tiny kid.

Actually that particular one isn't a fleet vehicle, I don't think they'd have rented it to you if you begged them because it's not registered as a fleet vehicle. In Colorado, fleet rental vehicles have a red license plate with FLT down the left edge. That one obviously doesn't have that plate so that's why it threw me off.
It's just very backwards from everywhere else. There were a lot of problems with carjackings of tourists in Florida when I was little that led to all the rental places I've ever seen taking stickers, tags, and other identifying characteristics off the cars. I've only seen a tiny e on Enterprise cars. Nothing else.
Florida passed concealed carry and most of those problems stopped. Colorado (and other states) have also had concealed carry for years and as such rental company stickers (and other identifiers) are coming back in those locations. No significant increase in anti-tourist crime have been reported in such areas.
