Forums are marvellous places, you can learn so much, 'meet' interesting people and share common goals but occasionally you get one dip $hite in the barrel. No names, no pack drill but today unpacked some gear I loaned to a forum member only to find that some items were missing and some had been swapped for different spec items. Had the stuff on the shelf for a while and only unpacked it today as I wanted to get on with a project. Not high value items but it's the fact that this wasn't a genuine mistake. Certainly make me think twice for now on and I'll certainly be keeping an eye on the guy concerned in case I can return the 'favour' in any way. John S. |

Mm, yup, that does tend to skew your view on human nature. Sorry to hear about it John, i hope you contact the said person and sort it out. Mike |

I know how you feel John, I am a bit long in the tooth now, and although a newbie to this hobby, I have over a life time built up a good collection of tools and machines, and have always tried to help out. But like you, have been pissed off when "a" I have had to repair them when returned, and "b" they are not been returned, an I have forgotten who I loaned them to. http://madmodder.net/Smileys/default/BangHead.gif John |
| Rubes:
Yep...same old story here. I keep telling myself never again...then someone asks and I say "well they never screwed me so why would I not help them out". Only to be painfully reminded why not...but then the next guy...and on and on and on... :bang: :bang: :bang: I have even had to re-buy tools I lost this way cause I forget just like Fredbare. But I am getting better about saying NO. |

Sorry to hear that. I KNOW the feeling, I's like such a royal pain.... I have a friend that I loan tools. Mostly carpentry/building powertools. I'll get them back cleaned usually with some extra consumables, if he wears out any. Then again I help him when he calls and he comes on rescue when I need help. Sometimes people I never met in person are very reliable, but generally there are no warranty on people. If I need a warranty I buy a toaster :lol: Pekka |
