For tools that are clearly broken / unworking that goes without saying.
Some low quality tools are essentially one time use. High quality tools must be painstakingly cared for (especially in a Puna climate) or they can easily become 'one one use' as well.
It's just not a system that inspires confidence. The very nature of loaning (being responsible for temporarily) engenders a lack of confidence in the level of care users may afford such temporary tools. Just look at how many in Puna and Hawaii in general treat shared spaces for an example of what I am talking about.
