Dont loan out your tools

I have a friend that I loaned quite a few tools to start his shop 6 years ago, Cherry picker, big battery charger, Heinz Warner trans jack,shop heaters, A/C tools. Well little by little he bought me a new cherry picker, new battery charger, Bought the trans jack from me, heaters, etc. So yes there are some good guys left in this world.
For the first time in 6 years of working where I do, I had all my tools brought BACK to me without having to ask or chase. It felt weird.
