Borrowing Timing Belt tools in Austin TX

I can't seem to get my buddy in Montana to get off the couch and ship my timing belt tools back to me! I'm wondering if anyone in Austin TX has a set I can borrow (rent)?
I had something like this: https://uedata.amazon.com/Timing-Tools- ... B00UTQVN2Y

Thanks very much!
