Just realized my tool library's 'no power tools' rule cost us our best volunteer
We opened the Broad Street tool library 8 months ago with a strict no power tools rule. Last Tuesday our best volunteer, a retired electrician named Pete, quit on the spot after I told him he couldn't donate his table saw. He said he'd been lending it to neighbors on his block for 15 years with zero problems. Now we're down to 3 volunteers and a room full of hand saws nobody under 50 knows how to use. Is the liability fear actually real, or are we just chasing away the people who know tools best?

Used to think the rule was smart but Pete's got a point.
