Tools are an investment that will last a lifetime. A quality tool increases your productivity and helps to prevent injury.  

Students in the Automotive Systems Technology program are given a list of required tools that can be obtained from one of several sources, with discounted student pricing programs through the College. Quality tool manufacturers include: Snap-On, Mac, Matco, BlackHawk, Craftsman, S & K, and others.

First semester student's tools will cost approximately $600 to $1,300, depending upon the brand of tools and the supplier, with an additional cost of $900 spread over the remaining semesters.
