    Tools are some of the most valuable things a man can own. The right tools can save hours on some tasks or give you results that would otherwise be impossible to achieve. I never loan out tools, I treat them as books. If they want the experience of that tool, they can do as I did and buy the damn thing themselves!

    That fault is common to many who borrow tools. I'm guessing about 1/2 my tools are at my son-in-laws houses. I didn't learn not to lend them out and I don't want to upset my daughters.
    Guess I'll have to live with it,at least with them.

    Well, that I understand. I was mowing on my John Deere and had just about finished the front and back when it wouldn't turn for me and I noticed the right front tire had gone flat! Unfortunately someone borrowed my air compressor and now I must call him to return it! I'll just let him fix my tire. He owes me.

    Load splitting for better stability on the roll out. Large tires have the aircraft higher maing it mor unstable as it rolls. Also somewhat less likely to drop a wing tip if a tire blows out on landing or takeoff.
