We have the oppisite at my job,Guy about 24 inherited his dad's huge collection of tools,54 inch double bank snap on box 75th anniversary teal blue loaded with snap on,Mac,and craftsman from the 80s-90s that his dad acquired over 30 years of being an auto and truck mechanic.as soon as they moved him into the shop he brought the box over,he does mainly maintenance and demanded to get factory training with a dollar raise for every certification,something most of us don't even get.so he starts getting trained,going to classes,and getting certified.problem is now he gets a job he's certified for and got a raise for it,but needs help to diag or refuses to diag and passes it along after he wasted over an hour,or he gets the diag and then ***** foots around the repair and gets it dispatched to some one else because it's to hard,he's scared,or he hasn't done it before.he only does easy diags like swapping coils to find the misfire cause,or replace radio codes.
Really annoying when all of us have been doing this for years and have dumped countless thousands of dollars into our tools and training suffering financially at times.but no this kid just inherited his and throws a fit when we tell him why don't you buy it when he has to borrow tools.refuses to buy anything,I think all he's bought is a matco impact gun and caliper twist compressor tool.when I was his age I was doing all the **** work and had no choice,he'll I still don't have any choice.i made the same he's getting paid when I was his age but I all my money went to tools I needed and bills,no vacations, no toys,no nice trucks.but what does he do since he doesn't need to dump thousands into tools? Buys a diesel truck,camper ,and dirt bikes.must be nice.....
