I have one friend i d lend to,but he s rarely asked.i lent my Miller Commercial weight belt to a friend,i told him to NEVER leave stuff on the jobsite in N.YC. Ever,stupid ass doesn t feel like carrying the 47lbs. Belt to his car everyday,leaves it in the trailer,trailer gets broken into,they steal the belt for the brass buckle and lead scrap.he s sorry,but of course its not HIS fault,he promises to replace my $400.00 belt,still waiting....... Moron had the BALLS to try and borrow a diving helmet and set up for his nephew a year later,"where's the weight belt you said you d replace?" I told him to not come back without one brand new Miller weight belt,cost the friendship,have not seen or heard from him in 10 years.
