Had the same experience... I've been gunsmithing for 52 years, have numerous reamers and have never had any of them damaged. Rented a .32-20 (floating pilot) reamer. Inspected it prior to use and after use. Cleaned it and the day following use returned it to them. Two months later rec'd an email stating it had been damaged. When I returned it to them it was in perfect condition. Had no choice but to pay $171.95 to have it resharpened. Winn not use 4-D Reamer Rental again. I now use Elk Ridge Reamer.
I'm not a fan. Same shady practices. I am also not a fan of a statement they have on their emails that they "Appreciate the business from their "friendly customers". They also try to rent their dies at a price one can purchase for the same rental price.

my throating reamers are also from PTG. love them and my rifles are accurate with the freebore i like.
i would buy one new and resell it on the forum when done. you have no time limit and will not lose much money
I rented one from 4D, not my first time from them, and when I returned it, I get an email saying I over heated the reamer. A pic they took under magnification, showed slight discoloring on one shoulder flute. They were charging me for a new reamer, or I could buy it.
This was BS, because I chamber with a cutting oil flush through the barrel, kinda hard to heat something up that way. I bought it, they sent it to me, but I'll never do business with them again.

Where are you in TX? Feel free to PM. I have either a Manson or JGS 6.5 throater sitting on my bench.
