    There is a real art to marketing on these trucks. The layout of the tools on the shelves , the outlandish bright colors on the tool handle grips, the color of the packaging , etc draws people inward. And for some reason I am drawn into the trucks that are just overflowing with every tool imaginable. I want to buy something even though I don't really need it. 🙂

    Definitely need a tread depth gauge. The color coded ones are nice.

    A funnel set would definitely be on there for me and id also get the Toyota oil filter remover tool both sizes and a pick set for gaskets or at pocket screwdriver which also helps free the gaskets that get stuck to the oil pan and now with skid plates torx bit heads thats a must now also not as simple as the old days

    Your assuming a lot. Most of the new guy can't even show up to work most days and you think they would have tools somewhere there not even going to bother to show up. It's even funnier the odd day they show up and complain they don't make enough money working (oops show up at the work place) maybe 10 hrs a week.
