What should you do with tools after using them in the mechanics lab?

Returning tools to the proper place after use is essential for maintaining a safe and organized work environment in the mechanics lab. This practice helps to prevent accidents and injuries that can occur when tools are left lying around, creating tripping hazards or leading to someone accidentally grabbing a tool that isn't ready for use. Additionally, returning tools to their designated locations ensures that they are stored safely, reducing the risk of damage and making them easily accessible for future tasks. By fostering good habits regarding tool storage, you contribute to an efficient workflow and support a culture of safety within the lab.
