I moved into my house a year or so ago, and the neighbors are starting to notice the tools on the peg-board, tool chests, etc in the garage.
So one comes over a few days ago to borrow an 8mm wrench, the first one I could find was a nice Kobalt (the kind made by a company owned by Snap-On Williams?), now made by ????)...
Well, you know the story, he can't remember where he put it, yada, yada, yada...
So my question is, what would be a half-way decent (non-dangerous, don't want to get sued if the tool breaks) set of 'loaner' tools? Or should I be a pri$k, and not loan out tools period?
My Dad is a 'Craftsman' man, and I will inherit a sweet set of '40s-'50s Craftsman tools someday, but for the least amount of outlay, what would be a safe and decent set of 'no-tears' tools if they get borrowed or lost? Can I trust a Harbor Freight set, or should I snatch up a Craftsman set on sale?
I will get a cheap tool chest to put them in, keep that ONE unlocked, and pretty much let the neighbors help themselves when they ask to borrow a tool...
