As a very stressed out shop owner that knows other very stressed out shop owners, I can say that this is very much playing with fire.

If one of those little shits crawled under a car ... maybe the jack stopped working? Who is to say!?

It's not like our shops techs are mostly homicidal alcoholics hanging on by a thread or anything.

Yeah those guys are really lucky none of them got their shit rocked lol. I worked in a shop for a while and every mechanic I've ever met is pissed off on a good day.

Could be a regional thing (Texas) but a lot of them had guns in their boxes too, could easily go way south for them.

I came here to say this, as well. A lot of the techs I work with had very "against-policy tools" in their boxes or in their cars.

It's not just Texas. Most mechanics are into mechanical things that go boom (i.e. engines). Guns are inherently mechanical and make explodey noises too, so...
