Good Tool guys are hard to find and much like us technicians, they all have different personalities and levels of commitment to their job. First off, it is hard work and no one is getting rich selling tools off of a tool truck. Then you get to add the tremendous cost of doing business and constantly having issues with their trucks (insert joke about fixing it for $50/week for 20 years) As a technicians we should support the good ones and help them out a bit. Also we get into an interesting theory about brand loyalty- that it shouldn’t be an umbrella loyalty to all things (your tool brand here) but rather to the actual tools that do the job every single time. We also recount some of the awkward times when the stuff that comes off the tool truck is better than the tools the manufacturer gives you to do the job. Uncle Jimmy talks about what tool guys and techs have in common: dogs, guns, and beer and gives a lesson in metallurgy when it comes to cheap brake line benders.
