Good day to you all
I have a few questions reguarding tool requirments for technicians. First of all does your employer require you to have specific tools that you own to perform daily repairs? For example we require a basic set of hand tools, along with torque wrenches, and electrical test equipment ( muliti meter, test light,power probe III, spark tester, etc ) What toos do you require for a new hire? I am thinking about requiring technicians to be required to purchase a power probe hook, however it is fairly pricey ( $400 - $450 ) and i wanted to know what you all thought? Thank you for you input

Its not the equipment , its how you use it.

The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
