Sounds like a OHS nightmare to me.
We can not even have someone that is not a worker in the workshop fullstop... Work cover would give you a big fine trying to do something like that. |

I have not seen this type of thing lately.
Snap On has a sticker that says "I make my living using my Snap On tools, please do not ask to borrow them".

I remember years ago (late 80s) TAFE used to offer a basic car maintenance course where you could use all their facilities, after hours.
All my mates joined up for this reason even thought they were only there to rebuild engines etc. |

Like Big Trev says youd have to have the right insurance and more than likely a bit of paperwork.
