It's okay, it won't affect it's abilities as a door stop.

I never lend my tools out for that reason but always borrow someone else's screwdriver to open Grip fill tubes

Why did you lend him your clogs?

This is the same plane after 1 hour's refurb.

I don't understand how anyone can have the audacity to return a tool in this condition - I'd be too embarrassed. If someone had been kind enough to help me out by lending me something and I'd accidentally damaged it I'd be straight down the shops to buy a replacement of equal or greater value before returning it with an apology.
This is why I don't like borrowing tools, never mind lending them out. I don't even like being asked to lend my tools out because then I either have to worry about them being out of my sight, or refuse, which usually creates an atmosphere.

Make the dick buy you a new one, I was taught to lay the plane down on it's side so as not to damage the blade, mind you I did do a short course on woodwork so what do I know, I'm a 5www

Wots that cheap plonk, hiding in the corner, no wonder you get hangovers.

 

[telectrix]

Not cheap plonk. It's my bottle for £2 coins.

"If you break it, you pay for it" is a very strong saying in my circle of workmates. Shame that the younger people these days dont think the same way?

Tel, i would be ashamed to hand you that back in that condition.

I used to work for a Government Department who worked a lot overseas, and we had all of our tools provided for us, mainly because blokes were reticent about sending their personal tools by air freight, although the tools were not ours in a legal sense I always tried to look after them, be it hand tools or larger power tools.
The problem was lending the tools out to other trade on the project was second nature ( it aint yours so why are you being such a pr=T about lending it out) you should have seen the state of the stuff come time to pack up and come home, God knows how they look after their personal stuff, thats why I never lend anyone my tools never no way Jose.

I've borrowed wives before and handed them back in much worse shape... P

Boasting hey.

 

[fall-apart-dave]

Boasting hey.

I wish I could say yes, but sobbing out of disgust and reeking of shame at the realisation that it just wasn't worth it for what I was packing aint really nowt to brag about LOL!

I think as an electrician we invest too much money in tools to lend them out to other trades. When i look at a plumbers tool bag covered in flux and strewn everywhere i wince. What i hate is when people look at you funny when you tell them no, when they want to borrow something.

 

[ruston]

The thing to do is to lend them the selection of old crap you keep in the van for just such an occasion. They wont ask again.

My ratchet spanners used to go walkies all the time on the ships... And my adjustable shifter ratchet - that thing would start fights like you see in nursery when they chuck a new dinosaur toy at the kids!
