Sharing hand tools

Silas Gull · 13 Jul 2015

Can hand tools ever have more than one master?
I don't mind sharing powered tools, except those that require a lot of fettling, but chisel and planes? ?
I am being forced to share company owned tools with a right wrecker at the moment and its making my blood boil.
Every time he walks off with the no. 5, a little piece of me dies inside.

Anyone else ever felt the same?

You should see what the #$&@ has done to the track-saw!!

Rant over.

How about developing a "mythical" dermatological condition that can be passed on by sharing things you have touched? Nothing too dramatic, just something like "I hope you don't catch what I have because it will make your life a misery". If he asks you to expand, simply say it's too personal but your sure his doctor will be able to help.

Tell him that you never wash your hands after going to the loo as you're of the opinion that 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger'.

That'd stop me from using them and I actually agree with the saying!!

I think that is a quote from Nietzsche, a bit of a bad boy but very relevant to your problem.

Cheap enough to pick up those tools from the booty
