What about specialty stuff? Like a special puller, or do you leave that to the shop? Just wondering if I should try buying some specialty equipment

My 18yo nephew just got his first job as lube tech and doing tire rotations. He has very limited tools and has borrowed so far, last night they babysat for me and wifey so he told me all about it and i gave him my old impact and an impact socket set but i explained to him that most techs will help you til your first check comes in then you need to make effort to equip yourself...,i think he gets it

Depends on shop. I buy my own either way. The only thing this shop has paid for is a hub grappler because he was too cheap to buy a press. Cheap smoke machine and a versus

Where I work now, I'd loan any tool with no worries.
However, I would rather leave my wallet laying on the street in Las Vegas than set down a screwdriver for 5 minutes at my last job. It was an automobile plant. I remember one night I caught one of the older guys going through my locker with a pair of my channel locks already stuck in his back pocket.
We had words. I got my pliers back. I learned to lock my locker even if I was coming back in 2 minutes. Easier to lock it than to have to explain to some ****** that just because a locker isn't locked at the moment you can't loot it and claim you didn't know who the stuff belonged to.
