Visited a shop in Phoenix that only uses hand tools, no air or electric.

They had a full bay with just wrenches, ratchets, and hammers, and the owner said it's better for learning and control. I saw a guy there doing a timing belt job with just a breaker bar and a torque wrench, which took him most of the day. Is this a good way to train new techs, or does it just waste time and money?

It builds a feel for the work you lose with power tools.

That timing belt job taking all day, was the guy a trainee or a master tech?
