How often do you loan out your saws/equipment?

thanks, guys

I originally posted this poll after reading that Forrest was planning on borrowing his boss's climbing saw for his 'first big job'. I was hoping to let him know that it wasn't just HIM if his boss said 'no way'. But I guess that is a moot point, now.

Glad to see that most all of us agree on the importance of the equipment we use in a tree. I would rather go help someone for free than let them use the equipment that I NEED to make a living. If someone occasionally uses my saw, it is never out of my sight when they are using it. I don't think anyone has ever used my climbing belt, I've let another climber use a lifeline once in a while when we were on the same job.

Page 22 in this month's TCI (Aug. 2002) says some 019's are being recalled because there is a screw missing in the support boss of the brakeband area. Chainbrake can fail. Covers 019's purchased between 12/2000 and 5/5/2001, serial numbers 249129398 through 249956311.
