Dont loan out your tools

This is a hobby for me - have I charged people for some work I have done for them? yeppers. But I dabble because I enjoy it. Loan my tools? For the most part, no. I'm lucky that I live far enough away from most of my friends that it's actually inconvenient for them to come to me to get anything like that to have to then go home, do the repair and then have to bring the tool(s) all the way back to me (they ALL know my "policy" on un-returned tools... :D) If someone is in need that badly that they do call and ask for something - I typically will go to them with whatever it is and help with said repair, once finished, I then leave with tool(s) I brought. Loan issue solved.
