I've never liked borrowing tools, especially from someone who earns their living with them. When I worked at the body shop I kept a tool box there, even though I didn't work on cars as part of my job. But if the occasion came up where I had to tighten something for a customer, or whatever, I didn't have to ask one of the bodymen for a tool. The guy who has the repair shop down the way from our shop has offered me an odd tool occasionally, and I have always made sure I get it right back to him and show him me putting it back in his toolbox. But even then I never felt great taking a tool that he offered.
