I like that system.
Years ago (1976-1980) I worked in a small engine repair shop. Out of that experience I also developed the policy of not loaning out power tools. There are too many people who don't have the concept of checking the oil, or of making sure you use mixed fuel in a 2-stroke engine, etc. It always amazed me how many people would simply return the equipment to the owner instead of having it repaired - especially when it was something that they had done to create the break-down.
I do loan out other tools from time to time. They usually come back...
