Don't have many wanting the chainsaws, But they came out of the woodwork when i bought a pole saw.
That is exactly my problem, EVERYBODY wants to borrow a pole saw. I have an old MS250 beater saw I sometimes loan out, but nothing else.

"Can I borrow your saw?" I would rather be strapped to a post and repeatedly kicked in the parts than lend out my saw or my power tools. Not so stingy when it comes to a hammer or screwdriver.
Oh, I would never let anybody touch a screwdriver, first thing they are going to do is use it as a prybar.
I'm happy to do the work for friends, but I refuse to accept the liability of having someone else use my saw. Rental centers are insured for that sort of thing. Sure, a guy who won't spend $40 on a rental is unlikely to cough up the cost of repairs if he damages your saw, but that's peanuts compared to what it could cost if he could get a jury to believe that it's YOUR fault he cut himself. Sometimes it turns out you don't know people like you thought you did.
