a typical day on the toos

Using the most suitable tool to carry out a job really saves you a lot of time and makes the job much easier. Ray told me that know how to select the right tool for a job depends on your working experience. That is so true because when I worked as an apprentice the most struggling thing was trying to use all the tools I thought was right to get the job done which was really frustrating.

The above picture was taken at 10am in quite a typical working day. As you can see after a few jobs, the tools and oil containers scattered everywhere on the bench and the trolley. Sometimes you would notice that the technicians are looking for a tool all around in the workshop. The only time to clean the tools and put them away is at the end of the day. However Ray told me it is nerve a good practice to put the tools away after each job because most of the tools are used repeatedly. But in my opinion it is also not a good practice leaving the tools like this. At least the oil containers should always be put back to the fluid supply station for other technician to use as well as avoid oil transfer onto the tools. And for the tools used on the common jobs should also be put on the bench or the trolley in order.
