_I_ never said anything like that but it's true , I DO NOT LOAN OUT TOOLS because folks never seem to get the concept that they fed & clothed my family for many many years...
When a tool comes back damaged or worse yet , not at all , no one yet , in nearly 60 years , has offered to go replace it or even PAY for the damned thing .
" why are you so upset Nate ? it's just an old tool " - never mind they'd convinced me to part with an unobtanium brandy new tool I looked 20 years to find...
Oops . ranting again .
Good on Trish , better on Chip for having faith to loan tools .
