its great lending tools out when you want it they have it and when you get it back you have to fix it before u can use it
What tools/machines are people not using regularly?

THEN, he borrowed my van because his had split the block as he had only water in the radiator. The van never came back again!
I currently have the following lent out;
Dewalt Impact wrench - da
socket set - da
bearing pullers - uncle
pass thru sockets - uncle
torque wrench - uncle
big spanner set - da
7mm spanner - da (he's lost it...the spanner that is)
router - uncle
trolley jack - da
2 pry bars - da
torx screwdrivers - da
big kango - da
2 scaffold planks - da
6 acrows - da
bike tool set - da
socket and swivel bar - mate
bearing splitter set - other uncle
Mostly my da away with them. He never brings any of it back.
He's my da though. I've broken plenty of his stuff and he taught me to use them so I won't complain and he is always there to lend a hand if needed. Same with the uncles.
I've a list on my phone to keep track of it all.
I bought a big spanner set just for the 22mm spanner, lent that one out to AN Other and I've never seen it since. I curse everytime I need it!
I have a router in a router table I have not used in a few years. I rarely use the mitre saw or the morticer as I rarely do woodwork. On the occasion I need it, if they were gone, I would miss them!What tools/machines are people not using regularly?
Only if your called TriggerDo sweeping brushes qualify as tools? If so......
Family seem to be the worst. I lent my brother my combination square set. It came back with the rule missing, which meant it was totally useless. THEN, he borrowed my van because his had split the block as he had only water in the radiator. The van never came back again! Oh he neede it for work said the family. And I didn't? Now I do not lend anything out, even if they are next to me and need a spanner.
