I am with you guys. I don't lend tools unless I absolutely have to. I started building my tools up before I was 16, and 48 years later I am still adding tools. I guess the one that dies with the most tools wins.
Actually I was a mechanic, and I figured that my knowledge and my tools was what put dinner on the table.
I bought the tool that I wanted and could afford to do the job, and I tryed to take care of them. These tools still serve me well today.
