I had a retired neighbor who borrowed my stuff all the time, always brought it back in good shape.
Came home one afternoon from work in town, and my baler looked like a yard sale at his place. Stopped by, and it had broken a tooth on the main gear, the one where the plunger hit the hay in the chamber on every revolution of the flywheel. He hadn't hit anything, was just baling along, and it quit. He babied everything, so I knew he hadn't abused it.
He was a retired mechanic, and his friend was a retired welder/fabricator. They had built up the gear tooth with weld, then ground it down to where the only way you could tell it from another tooth was some blue from the heat. He wouldn't take a nickel for the job- he said "You got two old guys off their sofas and doing something that made them feel useful again- I should pay you for the opportunity."
A better neighbor there never was- other things include putting my family up for 4 days after a blizzard (we'd have froze to death, because we didn't have any auxiliary heat in our mobile, and couldn't drive anywhere because of the snow). And euthanizing, burying and making a little headstone for our dog while we were at Disneyland. Neighbors like that are hard to find- RIP Charlie Faith.

When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
