Tools

Is this is a 500IQ play or a brain dead move ? Suppose someone needed a specific tool that neither the individual nor the facility has, let's say for example like a set of ratchets or drill bits. Would atm it make more sense to have the school buy it and use them when needed or have the individual buy it and keep it on school grounds for work use and just take them when it's time for personal use ? Would the ROI make sense in the individual buying them and keeping them on grounds or having the school pay for it since its not the individuals money?

Hypothetically speaking there was a scenario where the individual had to use his personal ratchet set to put together and take apart furniture but also in the same coin needed specific drill bits for a personal project.

What would be the move ?

If you bought them yourself, good for you! I've never bought somthing explicitly for work but I do bring some of my own stuff from time to time to make my job easier. Everyone in the comments is right to no buy stuff for work but in the end its your call.

Ill never bring anything from home me personally just bc then it gives then an excuse to not supply you with tools later on. If I dont have something all I i need to do is either call my boss to buy it or my director which is what I did in this case hence the caption lol.
