A few questions about tools for an entry tech...

Thank you all for the replies.

I'm going to look into iATN once I get some money to spend on that. It does look like a very helpful resource.

I'm not planning on being on the alignment rack forever, this is my first job as a tech, and the front end is my current strong point. I'm always expanding my knowledge and want to move much further than just front end. My dream is to become a full service import tech.

Also, how do you identify your tools? I was thinking on just spraying the tips of them with a certain color of spray paint so they don't get stolen by other techs. At the same time, I don't want to look like a paranoid jerk coming into the shop with my cheap tools all spray painted up. What are your thoughts on that?

Thanks!

Cheers,
Drake
