Shop tool or Tech Tool?

[cdhowell]

Where do you draw the line? If they sale it on the Snap On truck its the Techs responsibility? I under stand that tech levels are different. A lube tech does not need a ball joint press or a pitman arm puller. So at what point Is it your Dime or the Master techs making top dollar? I would not expect a smoke machine or A/C machine to be a Tech tool but they are on the truck. Same with expendables such a s drill bits and Roll loc discs? We do a lot of fab work. I usually buy a new guy a cheap set of drill bits up to 1/2" and provide anything larger. It's funny how much longer they last when its their bit.

Mac has a lifetime warranty on their drill bits.

 

I agree with you but again it all depends on the level of tech that you have.

 

I think that Ball joint press might be a shop tool I have over 1500 in to mine, but then entry level 2 way scanner should be in most everyones tool box. I buy the expensive ones. But yes people do take better care of tools when they buy them.
