Dont loan out your tools

Lent a buddy my 6 month old power washer so he could clean his boat bottom. He sells industrial parts for a living and HIS stuff is meticulously maintained. He picked it up and brought it back 2 weeks later as agreed upon. No issues there. Few weeks later I go to use it, fill it with gas and find a cracked in the fuel tank at the mid way point. Ask him about it and he says it fell over in the back of the van on his way home with it but nothing was wrong with it. He is no longer on my charity tool list.

I do have one friend that I will loan tools to and I'm the only person he loans tools to.
