Good for you son. Stick at it and show you are keen and leave the phone in your pocket. You have been given a chance not many will get so make the most of it.

I took a boy on a work experience thing years ago who was 15 and more trouble to the school than he was worth. He never went back and they were quite happy to leave him with me. He straightened himself out quick enough working with other guys and worked for me for 8 years before moving on, He is a very good tradesman and i am proud of him.

I think they're a love em or hate em tool, you get used to them straight away or you use them once and leave them in your big toolbox in the van.

Personally I prefer the Knippex grips but I have other Footprint tools including a nice set of chisels.
