#### Day Pass users
As a casual user you can bring your own tools in if **we** classify them as low risk. This is typically unpowered hand tools and a very limited list of power tools. Any tool that plugs in to the wall must be tested and tagged.

From time to time we may grant exemptions to this rule for specific tools at specific events. e.g. soldering irons at Arduino U.

#### Members
As a member you can bring your own tools in without prior approval if **we** classify them as low risk. This is typically unpowered hand tools and a very limited list of power tools. Any tool that plugs in to the wall must be tested and tagged.

For tools we classify (or would classify) as medium or high risk you must hold the relevant Artifactory induction for the tool in question and be able to justify why you need to use your version of the tool instead of ours.

Refer to our [BYO tools policy](https://wiki.artifactory.org.au/en/docs/policies/byo-tools).
