Yeah my old shop questioned a couple guys. One guy had a year and statement printed by snap on and walked into the office and said you owe me some money. Last he heard of that. I used to just make my payments and when I got a tool check id put it on my account or buy something that I needed...

My last shop where I got a tool allowance want by rates. A mechanic got 2k broken into 4 checks d mechanic got 500 broken into for checks. It was more of a reimbursement because most guys spent well over that. I was nice to get that amoun. The shop im at now doesn't have anything. Their excuse...

Well currently I work at an equipment rental house so I told him the other week that I'm going to start renting stuff to him. He hasn't asked for tools since Sent from my VK810 4G using Tapatalk

I had a tool allowance at my old shop that went by pay scale and was paid out each quarter in form of a check. The guy that is always borrowing has a habit of not putting his tools away and being messy. But my tools are always returned. I don't lend out stuff that wears out. Die grinders and...

Sounds like you have made an effort to get what you need. And I usually have no problem lending out special tools but filter wrenches for almost a year..... Its like c'mon dude Sent from my VK810 4G using Tapatalk

I searched for a bit and didnt come up with much. I would like other opinion on borrowing tools from others in the shop. I'm a heavy equipment mechanic with a wide variety of quality tools. When I was starting out the lead mechanic would land me anything I needed for tools. I didn't take...

I watched the video, as well as a few others that he did. Like most of you I agree to some of the stuff he says but not all, and his tool box blows my mind the way he has it set up. Thats for a different thread though. As for the money wasted on tool, buy what you need after you have what you...

Got a price from the local welding store. 32 bucks for the locking pliers but I am pretty sure they don't offer a slide hammer that comes with it. Maybe I'll email strong hand and ask or suggest that they should Sent from my VK810 4G using Tapatalk

For me I use a combination of a bunch of different rails I have 1/4 turn locking rails for heavy impact sockets metal rails for other sockets. I like to grab a rail and go to a machine if I need to and I cant always roll my cart with me. And when I'm sent on the road its easier to throw them in...
