You're not alone with that crap.
Just yesterday the Lord of the wrench decided that the tools for removing and installing a balancer of a duramax were not up to his standards and was grinding on those muthas like the final dance at prom. I've used those tools multiple times with zero issues.
People put away shop equipment that's broke and don't tell anyone all the time.
Stuff breaks. It's inevitable. Nobody is getting fired or getting their birthday taken away because of it. Tell management to get it fixed so we can move the fùck on..
Have you ever heard of anyone like this
My friend Jordan is a diesal mechanic for a large trucking outfit and also builds aluminum trailer's and transportation tanks.
He's doing great been there for a couple of year's
Him and a couple of mechanics have their own storage bays for tools.
All of them friends and never lost a tool.
Company supplies most some are personal tools.
Well a new welder was hired recently
And Jordan and some other mechanics noticed many of their tools and batteries were *f-worded up
Damaged, worn out but not really missing or stolen
So he submitted the broken tools and replacement tool list for the supervisor for the mechanics.
The next week the supervisor has everything
And Jordan hands the tools out.
It's a huge multiple building complex so so Jordan sets up a hidden camera on his tools that alerts his phone to motion.
Later on he gets a alert a new welder from a different part of the shop and completely different job not a mechanic.
Was digging through Jordan's tools
It was on then Jordan ran full speed and tackled the thief.
And started pulling his new Milwaukee batteries and snap on tools out of the guy's pockets
The guy in his 40s started ugly crying and screaming he didn't steal anything.
Which turned out to be essentially true he simply found worn out tools at pawnshops or yard sales wherever.
And swapped them at work for new
Stuff.
The boss wouldn't fire him because he didn't really steal and is certified for some kind of specialty welding stuff.
But the mechanics dug through all that guy's tools and took much more than he did and poured roofing tar on everything in his shiny new snap on box.
Jordan built a cage for everybody's tool boxes to lock when they go home.
