Loaning tools.

[JackBlades]

Haha, she was here yesterday, bless her heart, and promised to buy me a new one! She also asked that I intercept a UPS package that she had neglected to change the shipping addy on when she placed the order.
So I suppose the Devilz would advise me to trade the hostage package for the latest version of Mr Clean's Car Wash System?

sounds like a winner to me!

[JackBlades]

You are correct, sir! And the fact that she's pretty easy on the eyes doesn't hurt either.....

[KMNREMTP]

if she's ur avatar, i'd hold the package for at LEAST another pic like that, if not the goods! lmfao.

I am not familiar with this "loaning tools" thing you say. Can you explain, please?

It's pretty simple, dummy. She came over, I loaned her the tool.
she came over, and over, and over, and over......

My dad only taught me two things.

1. Never rat anyone out.
2. Never buy cheap tools.

I have followed one of these rules very closely to this day, but Harbor Freight and Big Lots makes it hard to follow the other.

I do have some Chi-com tools in my assortment.........Harbor Freight tube notcher............they are cheap.
The Ol' Joint Jigger is around 150.00.
The Commie clone is 45.00.
I think this is the last roll cage I will build , so it made sense. Sort of.
They use a hole saw to notch tube ends for fitting the joints together. The notch is maybe 1/16th off center , the hole saw cannot pass through the tube without pulling it back once you are 90% of the way through , taking a pliers and removing the center of the cut from the hole saw path and resuming your cut.
So I probably had 100.00 worth of sonofabitching in addition to my 45.00 initial outlay.
I saved 5.00 and learned a lesson.
Fuck , I could sell a used Joint Jigger for 75.00 I bet.
I also have a Chi-com D/A , but since I don't do body work , this one might last.
I used it to smooth out the wheel wells when I added 3 " on the inside to gain more tire clearance , and I may use it again at some point.
In my experience , they are shit. Power tools , hand tools , " precision " measuring tools and car parts.
All shit.

only loan cheap tools?

Always! I have some good Snap-On tools that my friends want to use all the time. The problem is they want to use them for stupid shit, like hang a picture... Mr. China Tool can do that just fine.

It kind of like when they ask me to use my damascus Pro-tech Godfather to open up a package

[Wolverton]

Throw a wrench at her next time you see her. That'll learn her, unless it is a Snap-On, in which case it'll take her head right off.

Neither a lender nor a borrower be. But if she has nice tits. Lend her your tool.

[Towelie]

That's the sad part about helping someone in need that doesn't have the appropriate tool, most forget since that shit isn't theirs and/or they don't really care. I hate that.

I loan out tools all the time. The difference is that I go get them if they are not returned in the time specified.

Most of the time it is easier for me to just do the job for them.

btw, thanks for loaning me those MT bits back in the day. I think I gave them back.
