[Work Pants]

I normally wear jeans or whatever when working, but recently purchased a pair of Blaklader Bantam pants. I really like them. They're really comfortable, well made, etc. They're pricey ($70ish), but I think they were worth it.

One of the reviewers on Amazon had mentioned that they were similar to Skillers. I had never heard of those, so I did a search and see they're no longer being made but still available from a few suppliers. Bought a pair and they're on their way. Curious to see how they'll compare.

Anyone have experience with any of these or others?

Try having a look at Scruffs Workwear it's good value for money.

[Would you rent out your power tool?]

I wouldn't lend them out if I were you, I had a Tool Hire shop in Englad before I moved to Australia. Th Tools certainley get some stick, and don't forget when the guy you lent it to has had it long enough he really belives it's his. I am now working on my website http://www.rapidtoolsdirect.co.uk/ may as well give it a plug.
