Tool trading pool or loaner ring?

Posted by Brent in Iowa on August 15, 2004 at 06:10:26 from (199.120.87.137):

I had a couple responses to my post on repairing my H and 560 exhaust manifolds that were kind of interesting. (see link http://www.ytmag.com/farmall/messages/434719.html)

I sure would be willing to mail my tap around, and any other specialty tools, but how does one put a limit on how long the next guy would have it, and who would pick up the initial cost of purchasing a tool since it may be considerably worn by the time the original owner gets it back.

This is really a great idea, and I would like to follow up on it if anyone has any ideas on how to make it work. I don"t have much use for a 2" tap now that I have fixed mine, but you never know when you"ll get another tractor or the neighbor, etc... will need it so instead of putting it back on Ebay and selling it, maybe loaning it out would be the best idea.

What if the person who wanted to "borrow" it mailed a check to the tool owner for postage and a "deposit" in case it was lost or broken? Then when it was returned or "forwarded" the deposit would be refunded.

What do you guys think?
