The only person I share tools with is my Grandpaw, he usually helps me on my truck and I return the favor back at his house when he is working on something. I always make sure to keep his tools separate from mine and in a safe place that I won't forget, usually wrapped up in a clean rag, and return them as soon as I'm done. I do have a few that he doesn't have and he makes sure to return them as soon as he is done with them too.
Tim, thats exactly what my parents and grandparents did for me when I turned 15 and they knew I was eying old trucks for my 16th birthday. They got me a tool box with a lift out tray, and a boatload of Husky tools. I think I started out with 3 sizes of adjustable pliers, 4 sizes of vise-grip pliers, several other pairs of pliers, 2 adjustable wrenches, and a 140 piece socket & boxed open ended set in its own carrying case.
Now I catch Dad using my sockets because its more convenient for him to use my tools since he can take the case with him and not have to make multiple trips to the garage. My brother uses mine too, but I fuss at him because I've found my stuff scattered around the garage/shop/in the grass and he's no where in sight.
There is one that I'm probably over protective of, my
Fluke multimeter. Dad helped me pick it out, and it was my birthday present from Mom and Dad last year.
