this year even though we werent using the equipment.. we had it under the table put away
they made us take them out of pit
its getting kinda weird
Now that someone has agreed with this, I will respond: If you encountered a no cutting rule, a no drilling rule, or a no using power tools rule, you need to speak with the person who told you about said rule. No Grinding and No Welding are in the manual, and a place (usually the machine shop) has been designated for those (as well as any other activity that intentionally produces sparks). But to my knowledge, the only time you can't cut, drill, or use power tools is when you can't be in the pit. If you were told to remove your power tools, you should have politely pointed out that power tool use was allowed (unless it was a venue-specific rule, in which case, agitate for a different venue).
