## TOOLS:

Tools missing and needing replacement all the time is expensive. My solution to the tool situation is something I've implemented elsewhere with success

Each worker starts with a fully stocked set of tools as of January

A $500 tool purchase escrow is offered each person

(amount is my typical suggestion)

At the end of the year, if all tools are in place, the worker will get to keep the cash. If tools where purchased to supplement, purchase amount is deducted from tool escrow.

Tool purchases due to wear and tear not included

Each worker receives tools that are individually marked for him (epoxy paint marked or with initials engraved. (Cheap engraving tool can do this)

This typically makes workers much more responsible and protective about their tools.

A $20 Dremel engraver and everyone can enter their initials on their tools. They may also need a way to store their tools under lock and key to prevent other stealing them.

The image shows a Dremel engraver tool. It is gray and has a blue power button. The model is an Engraver 290.
