I have a question for those that own their own business and employ technicians. What philosophy or practice do you use in purchasing tools for your technicans that do work on-site at a client’s office (i.e. diagnostic tools, cable tester, etc.) For many years, my technicians have supplied their own tools. My newest technician believes that I should supply him with everything he needs to do his job. I do supply them with the MS Partner DVD’s so they have updates and tools, but I’ve usually had them supply their own diagnostic disks, screwdriver, cable tester, etc. Just want to hear some thoughts.
