as title.... don't. got this back yesterday in this condition.

[ElectriciansForums.net] Lending Tools Out.
he swore he'd not left it outside in the rain. bloody liar.
 
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

List of things
Angle grinders x 2 (the Second one was bought as a replacement for the first)

"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 would say it is more about the bits than the torque of the drill. I use high quality Fisch auger bits for drilling out mortices and peg holes...
