Add a tool

  1. Click + Add New Tool.
  2. Enter the name, part number(s), a photo (required), the vehicles it fits (leave blank for general use) and its location.
  3. Choose whether it's one of My Tools or a Shop Tool, and click Add Tool.

Tools you own also show under My tools in your profile.

Sign a tool out

  1. Click Sign Out Tool (or + New Task > Sign Out Tool).
  2. Tick one or more tools and click Sign Out Selected.

Signed-out tools show on the board's Signed Out Tools block. Another person's tool has to be requested first - open its Options... and choose Request / Sign Out; the owner approves or declines.

Sign a tool back in

  1. Click Sign Back In next to the tool.
  2. Take a photo of the tool where you put it back (required), and click Sign Back In.

Can't find it or it's broken? Choose Report Lost/Missing instead, say what's wrong and add a photo. The tool is marked Missing/Damaged and a Manager gets a task to follow up - they Resolve it as Repaired or Mark Out of Service.

More from Options...

Reserve a tool for later, Edit or Remove it, View History, or View Returned Location to see the photo from the last sign-in.

Shop-wide log and locations

Click Shop-Wide Log (or Shop Settings > Tool Inventory) to search every tool event by date, type and person, and to manage the Tool Locations list everyone picks from.
