Oh I see. Are you mainly propulsion? I do strictly air frame on flight controls. But my company provides 90% of my tools. I only have to purchase my special tools that make my job easier, like jigs, bucking bars, etc..

Are there tools at your work you can check out? Also your torque wrenches are really nice. I am gonna request those ones

I'm currently an A&P student still with 20 weeks left. And I do plan to get bucking bars once I get hired. Id like to see what my co workers use or which ones are quality.

I prefer steel tungsten bars. A normal steel one is good too, but tungsten just gives you more vibration absorption and bucks better. Also a lot of mine are made by me when my work puts leftover stock steel blocks in to be recycled

I wish you luck in your career and pray you find a good company and you make great money and continue to grow as a mechanic. I've been doing this 6ish years and still love it
