Wear, breakdown, and the tools you cannot prove you owned. Normal wear and tear, rust, and mechanical or electrical breakdown are maintenance rather than sudden loss. Employee theft is excluded and belongs to crime coverage. Most forms will not respond to tools taken from an unlocked or unattended vehicle, and some require a fully enclosed locked vehicle or a locked box. Older equipment commonly settles at actual cash value rather than replacement cost, so a fifteen-year-old compressor does not come back new. Keep receipts and serial numbers.
