inOur street's shared tool shed made me rethink owning everything
Hold up! Sharing tools sounds good until you need something and it's gone. Last summer I went to grab the hedge trimmer from our shed and it was broken because someone didn't oil it. @riverk82 says people take care of shared stuff, but I've seen neighbors leave rakes out in the rain. Now I keep my own tools locked up so they're always ready and in good shape. Trusting others with your gear just leads to hassle.
