    With council bastards cracking down on stuff, it's nice to do some "stealth tree felling"...

    Never lend your power tools or girlfriend to your mates.
    They'll both come back fucked.

    chinese copper is poo.
    Compare a 15pony english motor of ~1970 with a brand new chinese... The old one will flip the polarity on the chinky.

    My thoughts exactly, compensating for something. Shittier design

    the designs are stolen.

    The materials are the lowest tender/greatest profit margins.

    There are only 2 people I would even considering lending my chainsaw to (one is my bro in law...). Lucky for me they both have their own equipment and like me have a
    'do not lend out or borrow power equipment' policy.

    ...in 20+ years I only let one other bloke use my saw and I even wonder to this day why I weakened...nothing untoward happened but it still irks me that I let it happen, and that was about twenty years ago...

    "dont lend anything unless youre willing to give up the thing, or the person"

    what kind of a woman even asks to borrow tools??

    The CEO at the company I did my apprenticeship at got a bit of a surprise.

    I caught him looking through my tool chest for a large micrometer. I don't think he was expecting me to tell him to bugger off.


    I told him that seeing how I paid for them and they are mine, I don't lend them out and to keep his hands out of my personal toolbox.

    I told him to buy his own or use the shop set
