Lending a drill

Lending

The average lifetime usage of a power drill is about 20 minutes. The rest of the time it sits idly in the tool shed, waiting for its moment in the sun.

Next time you have a job to do: be it DIY, gardening or spring cleaning; or when you are arranging a party, having people to stay, going on holiday or learning a new hobby, ask around before you trundle off to the shops and spend your hard earned cash. Someone around you probably has what you need.
