I'll never borrow anything again!

[RTII]

I will almost never borrow anything. Learned at an early age I would rather rent or buy than be responsible for equipment that may break through no fault of mine. For me it's Hard to return something borrowed that is broken unless repaired first.

"Don't borrow anything you can't replace;don't lend anything unless you don't need it back."

Very good advice, in my opinion. I almost never borrow anything because I know I have to return it in at least as good, if not better, condition than when I borrowed it.

Jstpssng i have a couple of items you could borrow, but i am not sure it is fair to lend you something that needs fixing.

I think it was Ben Franklin who said "neither a lender nor borrower be". I agree 100%.:thumbsup:

What is puzzling here is the trailer had a new axle just a year ago, and the bearings went out so soon ??

But have to think this is a good buddy, and we all like to have our good buddies. Even if they are sometimes costly in the end. Friends are special.

When I started in a die shop 30+ years ago, I had to borrow a tool from a journeyman. He said no problem - but he told me "borrow it once, buy it twice". In other words, buy your own tools, kid.
