this is a question I get surprisingly often my standard answer is No.
New neighbor generally get this answer early on. I get asked this question while working on properties (by total strangers yet they call me they're Buddy) , even at a gas station once (total strangers)
Hey Buddy can i barrow your Chainsaw, pressure washer, mower, gas hedge trimmer, welder, motorcycle, kayak, the list goes on an on ( ahhhhhhh No)
if it's a neighbor I give them my standard answer.
No I don't loan tools an equipment (including hand tools). What I will do (when time permits) I will come over an cut One tree limb, or help you with your project for 15 minutes. That's all 15mins
My best advice an most guys/girls totally understand is.
The equipment I have is fairly expensive, Your prob better off renting the equipment you need. If you rent it an happen to damage or destroy it, it's covered by the rider you sign at rental.
My equipment you would have to replace at retail the following day.
When I explain thing this way most completely understand
i figure if a guy/girl doesn't have a chainsaw for instance. I'm certainly not gonna loan out one of my saws so they can remove they're fingers or open up they're leg. from improper use
the asking to barrow one of my pressure washers is one a get often I say No
