I've seen people here say that Autozone rents vacuum pumps (the type for pumping down A/C). What's the magic incantation to get one? I stopped by a store the other day and the counter guy tried everything possible on the computer, but couldn't find whatever he might have needed to find or rent a pump.

That AZ may not have one.

it will ask for your zip and give you a list of stores, and what each one has for loaner tools.
Hmmm...lets see. The clerk indicated that Autozone doesn't rent that tool and he verified that such a transaction is not in the computer. Was there something about the word no that was not clear?
No, he indicated that he couldn't find any information on the computer about renting that tool.
The clerk himself was unclear on whether the absence of data had any meaning, and since he has more experience with the workings of Autozone, I didn't second-guess him.
Hm. They don't show much of anything that I can see, even the leak detectors mentioned in . Clutch tools and orifice tube tools.
I don't think they rent vacuum pumps for A/C. They do however rent hand held vacuum pumps for checking things like EGR and evap systems. However It's taken me a while to get the message to the guy as far as what a handhelp vacuum pump was.
