“A shared tool is an abused tool” is a credo I’ve come to know over my career as a tech. I am referring to both personal tools loaned to others and shared shop tools and equipment. I don’t know why that’s the case, or if I’m wrong and just too anal about tools working perfectly and being kept clean.
Agree?
Disagree?

I think that’s a general rule for life.
People just don’t care for, or appreciate things they didn’t work for. I’m generalizing obviously, but if someone lends me a tool or what-have-you I treat it as it was my own – or like gold. I wouldn’t dare lend my poor man’s husky set 😆 my bit drivers will be cracked im sure.
I agree with you. I suppose you just give two stipulations. Bring it back in the condition I am loaning it to you and if you break it, you buy it!
When I hand someone a tool and they bring it back dirty, I don’t let them borrow it again.
I know when people put shit on my box, their lunch, can of brake clean, a part. I literally lose my shit.
Just two days ago I spike someone’s can of brake cleaner because they left it on my box for 45 mins.
Maybe I’m in the wrong here.
