borrowing usually leads to abuse of the tool and possibly any relationship
between the lender and the lendee will become strained
fwiw sawzalls are usually reserved for doing demolition type work but they
do sometimes work in a pinch
when that tip hits something it should be something you do not care about
but i do like the tool and it works great for demoing wood frame construction

I'll also buy the blades I need for the job, and a few more. They go
back with the tool.

It's not just you, if I borrow a tool I'm responsible with and for it. I
also try to get it back to the owner as soon as possible, I don't want them
in my possession any longer than necessary. When possible, I return it to
the owner's hands directly along with a Thank You.
Some lenders have a "you got it from my hands, it goes back in my hands"
policy. Even when they don't state it, that's what I try to do. The owner
can then put the tool where he wants it and also hopefully remembers not
only putting it away but talking to me when I return it.

Interesting viewpoint...
Abusing a tool that is primarily used for demolition? Hmmm...
I tend to take better care of someone else's tools, for fear of having to buy a brand new tool only to give it away (should it break under my stewardship). But that's just me, I guess...
