I can not believe you let these folks get away with damaging your tools with out replacement.
I loan and borrow tools, but if I damage or lose them you can be sure I will go to the store ASAP and replace them.
I borrowed a set of Robo grips from some one and lost them, next day he had a new pair.
I was using a pair of tin snips, I did not notice they fell of my lift till I ran them over. At my lunch time I went to Sears and replaced them.
Of course no one minds if I borrow their tools as they know they will come back as before or new.
If I was you I would put a stop to this immediately, this is sleazy of your coworkers.
One thing though, why are you buying expendables, tape, blades, bits etc. this should be provided by your employer.
JMO, Bob
