Expected tools and supplies to have?
I worked for a very corporate production facility for the past two years after welding school and was laid off so I've been looking for new related jobs.
I recently interviewed at a shop that seems like a good option. On the "about the job" sheet they gave me it mentions that employees are responsible for supplying their own basic hand tools as well as welding gloves. I asked for a tool list and the hiring manager said he would get me one.
I was pretty thrown off because while I can see having a basic socket set and some wrenches, there were full toolboxes behind each of the welding benches there.
It seems like grinders, power tools, etc were the only tools the company supplies?
Also supplying your own gloves seems crazy? I said something to that about the guy who set up the weld test for me and he said the company has gloves in the supply cabinet, they just arent that good so guys bring their own...
This just seems really weird because at the company I worked at before you weren't even allowed to bring your own welding hood. They supplied literally everything.
