Default Do you lend your tools?

I generally smile and say yes. If it's a tool they haven't used
before, we do a short tutorial on some scrap. I ask that the tools
come back clean and within a week - and they usually do.

The strange consequence is that people will stop by my shop to give me
tools (a radial arm saw, a box of pneumatic tools, etc) - and it's not
always one of the people who've borrowed tools.
