I finally had to get a journal for the shop... Was hard to remember sometimes who had a tool that was mine. Also..If some time passes, the borrower may also forget...Then your tool is gone... Nowdays.. before the tool leaves the shop..it is entered into the journal, and the borrower signs for it... When it comes back it is checked off in the journal.. I still don't like to lend tools. But dang it, when I do... I want em back....
