You can use your own tools if you wish...when you check in theres a huge tool box mounted to the bay with all of your basic wrenches, sockets, etc..then you get a littel clip with 5 or so blue metal numbered chips which allows you to checkout the unusual, odd, oversized, etc, tools that arent in your box. Max, I used to live out there at that shop, my friend Tim still works there at the desk(big white guy, drives a 240 now). I might have to take you up on one of these offers soon, as I can no longer get on base right before 9/11 and my id expired. Its cool your helping people out though...thanks man.
