    Indeed, also it’s much nicer to use a shared high quality tool than to buy an el-cheapo disposable tool.

    Even something simple like a crowbar. I once borrowed a (shorter) professional crowbar after struggling with a (larger) cheap one. The thing I was trying to pry came out like butter.

    Even though physics dictates that a shorter lever should be inferior, it just had a much better design and grip.

    Better for our wallet, sanity and environment.
