    Same. Small company, but we can generally get the equipment we need. We rent items that we don't use often, and being small, there's s high standard for taking care of what we have and not abusing instruments. We also calibrate personal tools and instruments - torque wrenches, multimeters, and even 1 multiamp 225 that a guy has that we can use for a backup if needed.

    My battalion is only one of 2 NETA accredited units in the DoD but even then getting ahold of test equipment is a pain in the ass. Army calibration is worse than useless, sometimes we don't get our shit back for months. Now the battalion wants to ditch our own test sets in favor of rentals. The issue with this is that getting rentals takes time. Purchase requests need to be approved. And typically we don't know we need something until it's the last minute.
