Bill ;
1st ; thank you for your Service .
I have little patience for those who borrow tools , Tom is working on getting me to change this as we often do my Physical Therapy in junkyards where I'll find a thing (Sat. it was an original GM underhood light & reel made by Hobbs, I'm sure you understand) so then I have to borrow a tool.......
I'd rather stop what I'm doing and use my tools for you than loan my tools out .
Occasionally I allow folks to work on their rigs in my yard , I still don't loan tools .
Like you said : the correct tool just falls to your hand , it may not be new nor fancy but all my tools are carefully selected .

> Borrowers, I made my living with class eight vechiles, then at the end courier. I had an ecloine van outfitted, so well, I could do an inline overaul on a truck if I had to.And it was stowed awy neatly and in order. Then when we moved here, and I was a guy with just a lot of tools. But kids and grand kids grew up. Over the years, my shop has become a jumboed mess, half my tools gone. I have caught my son taking them to fix things for people, and not for pay, or so he says. But tools taken like that will invariable come up missing.

They say to me, they make millions of them, and they do. But I maintain, you use it for 30 or 40 years, there is a feel, you just know, what is and isn't yours. But it can cause one to be not so friendly , as most can not /will not afford fix or replacement.
