WELL SAID DENNIS!, I also do not lend my tools out, It took me WAY too long to get em all ..Now that my Boys are gettin older the SNEAK ATTACK on my box has stopped, I purchased each one there own tool chest and got them there own starter set of tools and they have been aquiring tools on there own and at b-days,x-mas, etc...FUNNY thing is when Ol dad touches ONNA THERE CHESTS I GET THE LOOK!...and most times they are locked ..I guess now they have there own they care now?...hmm wasnt that long ago I would find my Klien screwdrivers stuck in the dirt wherever they was tinkerin last...NOW THEIR TOOLS ARE LOCKED UP AND LIKE GOLD to em!
it makes me laugh.
Just a Tip for anyone with young boys that like to wrench, Get em a $100 craftsman tool chest and a set of starter tools, tell the granparents and relatives TOOLS for b-days & x-mas...an watch how fast they quit destroyin your tools and learn to take care of em!
