And, any decent craftsman always keeps his tools in good shape! Use them hard when you need to, but don't abuse them. There is absolutely nothing wrong with taking care of your vehicle or any other tool, and to me, that includes not only refusing to loan them out, but giving a withering stare to whoever might be so gauche as to ask, then berating them thoroughly for their faux pas.
"Among real woodsmen, it's considered the height of rudeness to ask to borrow an axe, saw, or knife!"
Or the old Snap On poster: "Don't even look at me, like you are even
thinking about asking to borrow a tool!"
