There are people I won’t loan anything to but most folks are pretty careful with other’s tools. In the end it’s just stuff. Helping a neighbor out with the loan of a tool doesn’t really scare me. I’d be cautious about loaning out my tractor and backhoe without having the borrower demonstrate some skill with it first. Or at least not without giving him a block of instruction first if he’d never used one.
