How much was he charging for the rent?

Nah, not worth the effort. Teach me for going cheap and could have been broken in transit.

I've had plenty of crap tools over the years, but now have some good ones I value. My neighbour borrows my crap & worn tools sometimes, because they are usually less crap & less worn than his. Anything else he wants, I volunteer to do the job for him myself.
No-one but me uses my chainsaw though. When my son wanted to borrow it, I bought him a secondhand one of his own. My last saw (Stihl 036) lasted me 15 years (& I then sold it for parts on ebay for $340). It's replacement (Stihl MS362) is only about 12 months old.

Cuppa, where do you live? I wanna move closer to your joint.
I have few jobs that I might need to borrow your valued tools.
