         <description><![CDATA[<p>Summary- 5 essential tools you'll need for a career in body repair is a very simple but solid source. It isn't very long but after reading you will have good information on good tools for body repair. </p><p><br></p><p>Reflection- This source is a very short sweet to the point source. I feel like it focusing mainly on the metal repair side of collision repair, but with that being said it still provides very good tools for new Techs. This source also does a very good job of explaining the tools, when and why they are used, and how they should be used in practice. There is also a section just explaining how important good tools are in the field, and how it's so important to know how to use the tools, these are things most new Techs don't think about.</p>]]></description>

They talk about pretty much every aspect of the field and the tools a new tech should have to conquer the work in these different areas.</p><p><br/></p><p>Reflection- I thought that this was a great source, it very long with a lot of detail and information which is good for a new tech trying to learn the tools of the field. I also like how it hit on the tools needed for every possible job you could have, this source really provides knowledgable information and a lot of it. This source also gives a bit of insight on how the key when you are a new tech is to be versatile in what you can do and the tools that you should have. This is so important because to many times technicians get to focused on one thing or one type of tool when its important to branch out and be good at everything with any tool.</p>]]></description>
