We are a shop of 3 techs and we wear coveralls as uniforms. We do have shop t-shirts but generally they just get worn under the coveralls in the winter or as casual clothing to or outside of work. I think consistency is important so uniforms are a must. The guys in my shop would rather get the uniform dirty than their own clothing and that’s what it is there for. I like the looks of the shirt and pants for uniform but in a shop doing lots of fabricating, torching and welding the shirt and pants disappear pretty fast. So far coveralls have been the best option. As far as the guys “staying clean” we have 1 guy who is usually greasy but he generally gets those jobs where that is unavoidable. There has to be a happy medium and an understanding that it comes with the territory. If he tried to stay clean he would never get his work done because he would always be washing. Most of the guys are older and don’t really use cell phones but I don’t see an issue with cell phone use if the work is getting done and done well.

hey everyone thank you for responding, I have not decided on any tools yet. I have run into another tool that seems to be difficult to get a demo on. The Autoland iscan ii wt. it seems to have great potential for upgrading and coverage. From what I can find online it has good reviews and Autoland recently teamed up with identifix to have a direct tech support line through them. Does anybody have any thoughts on the iscan ii? Anyone using it?
