[QUOTE="Mechanic86, post: 1611550, member: 57311"] Also "Every place I have been has shop property including jacks, jack stands, grease guns, cordless drills, rivet guns, battery chargers, jump starters, bolt cutters, etc." these are "shop tools" these are items that are standard in a shop, as a mechanic we are not required to provide our own hydraulic vehicle lift or build our own service back from scratch, it doesn't work like that. As a driver you're not required to provide your own hub or package car/tractor trailer are you? I'm not gonna go and make a list of every tool I have because nobody has time for that and I've been at UPS for less than a year, I've been working as a Technician/Mechanic prior to UPS for 5 years and I'm ASE certified. I can assure you that while spending $6000 on some lower quality tools can probably get you by for a while but as a professional you should be purchasing professional quality tools, hand tools or not they will easily surpass $6000. With the way we beat on our tools repairing these trucks, a cheap set of tools isn't gonna get you that far.
