Plain language answers.

Replacement cost or actual cash value?

We typically write replacement cost where available, it pays to buy new without depreciation.

Do I need to schedule each item?

Items above a threshold (often $1,000 to $2,500) are typically scheduled; the rest are blanketed.

Are leased and rented tools covered?

Yes, with the right endorsement, your liability under rental agreements is covered.
