so I just got a call from my brother in law, he wanted to borrow my saw tomorrow to go cut wood.
The problem is I just sold my loaner saw, so the only saws I have are my Husqvarna and my three carving chainsaws.
I feel so bad telling him no, my wife agrees the last time i loaned out my loaner craftsman to him he bent the bar literally twisted it and fragged the chain, I'm lucky he didn't mess up the crankshaft with so much force to rotate the bar.
I just sold the craftsman and have since bought two more chainsaws (lol) cad. I have a 5020 coming in craftsman flavor, and today on ebay bought a homelite, nothing special but i bought it as a project saw to resell. I would totally loan that one to him, but alas no saws here yet.
So my question is how do you all deal with it, when others know you have good chainsaws, am I a jerk. I maintain my equipment religiously it runs good so I'm not to keen on someone else abusing it, that craftsman years ago is still in my mind. I dont know just wondered your thoughts on the such.
