I've been on on enough aircraft manufacturing lines to know it's quite
normal to take tools into the hull and put them down when they are not
being used. What makes a glider so special that the same practices
cannot be followed. The important thing is to ensure that all tools
are removed when the job is completed. That can be done by inventory
and/or by careful inspection before closing.
