You hate to say no to a friend. So when one asks to borrow a tool, I ask what he is doing and volunteer to help him with his project. That way, I use and protect the tool, my friend gets a better job done, and and my friends don't hesitate to help me when I need a second pair of hands. If his job is big or will take a long time, it is easy to help him shop for the appropriate tools. Always enjoy helping out real friends. For others, a simple "Sorry, I don't lend out my tools" or "Sorry, I will need it soon for my new project" usually works.
