Busted Tool

in #life6 years ago

The other day, a neighbor asked if they could borrow my jig saw as they were dong some work on their bathroom and didn’t have one.

Being one to help a neighbor (and knowing what it is like to get the right tool for the job without having to purchase a new one) I of course said yes!

The jig saw was old, but I have been using it more this last year as I had a circular saw die and the jig saw has been filling in - I was going to wait until I absolutely needed a new circular saw before I purchased it.

Anyway, not exactly sure what happened, but the neighbor brought the jig saw back and said the motor blew... bummer! I am sure it could have happened to me as well when I was using it so you certainly cannot get mad or ask them to replace it... it was an old tool anyway. The one suspicious thing was they took off the blade that was on there, and put on a different one but it was backwards, so it is possible they misused the jig saw and it broke... Here are a few pictures of the busted saw, including the backwards blade:

Well, on the bright side, I get to go out and purchase some brand new tools, which is always exciting!

Thanks for stopping by,

How are you my friend? you took that in a good way in my country Venezuela for sure because of an incident there is a problem

Greetings to your beautiful family!

If there was a lot of smoke coming out of it, maybe the motor they bring was burned by the time it has the tool is unpredictable one day when we are going to use the things that we have time that we do not use are damaged

Maybe it's hurt by the time it takes the tool also I think your neighbor did not know how to use it very well

But the good thing is that you could go and buy a new one you should make sure to explain to the person that you lend your tools as they are used

Those things happen. I have never "exploded" a neighbor's tool, but it is a possible thing to happen to an old tool. You had a good attitude.

if you do get another , maybe don't be so neighbourly ; )

Good thing you take this incident in the best way, you will surely find good tools.

Yes, and when you buy another one, you won't borrow your neighbors again I guess.
