Maxed-out Student SnapOn Account!! 

Impact guns and impact sockets . Stuff that will make your job easier and faster . Return those ratchets

would’ve gotten less ratchets, more battery tools. less chrome, more impact.

No offense but I’m pretty sure if your professor saw that he would smack you upside the head. My first day of tech school, my professor said that he didn’t want any of us getting inside a tool truck.

Snap-on truck guy still laughing all the way to the bank.

Nice stuff, go for some swivel impacts.

Guys this was a video showing you his snap on shit he got thru his school discount, i bet you he's got Milwaukee impacts and power tools and that's why they're not in the video 😉😉😂😂

If I could have talked to you ahead of time, i’d have steered you towards some of their impact universal sockets and away from some of the duplicate-ish ratchets and wrenches. Their; Impact sockets Impact extensions Impact adapters Allen sockets And Torque bits, especially tamper proof are all solid compared to other brands.

Should spend your money on stuff you actually use constantly. Pullers, air guns/impacts, impact sockets, snap ring pliers, pry bars, torque wrench

Take back about six of them ratchets

Awesome! I maxed out my account limit as well! Although I went to college for manufacturing/machining. I told my friends/classmates I was going to max out my account. They didn’t think I would 💀

No impact sockets?

When you start off your going to be doing small simple work at first a lot of oil changes, brake jobs, tune ups, & tire swaps . So some impacts would have been good. Maybe some oil filter tools, none marring rim sockets , spark plug sockets, battery tools. Swivel impacts and oh yeah impacts !

Great lineup! A good move loading up when you can with 50% off, you will never regret that move. It only makes sense as Snapon is truly some of the finest tools available. You are buying tools for life as they are not going anywhere, last year on 2020 they racked up 30 billion + in cash flow. I would recomend a 1/4" TLL80 9" ratchet, at 90 tooth count and dual 80 technology it's one I use often. You might consider a 36" prybar, dont question it you will love the extra leverage it will give you and save strain on your body. (Work smart not hard!). Besides that look at some impact socket purchases, perhaps some specialty ones. Good luck and enjoy your new tools/toys!

Flip your sockets over. The trays are designed to hold the sockets with the flair at the bottom.

You should replace the 1/2"s with all impacts and maybe a 3/8" set too. If you haven't already invest in some power tools milwaukee is the best the impact wrenches and ratchets are very useful.

Nice set but you're going to need cooling system tester fuel system tester, compression

Really should have got some impact sockets. I use the hell out of them. Especially doing suspension work since I live in Michigan and road salt is evil.

I spent 23 years in Heavy Equipment Repair & I purchased off tool trucks & I never had a tool bill. I never had to hide in the bathroom when the tool truck showed up & when I retired all my tools are mine.

55% off. What does that tell you about the mark-up on their tools. Because I'm pretty sure they are not losing money on this program.

I started buying my snap on tools in 1975, they have served me very well and my son will have them for the rest of his life.

If you are going to do any type of RWD transmissions or clutches, any brand 30" or 36" extension that is 1/2" on the female end and 3/8" w/ locking collar on the male end is an absolute MUST. And locking a wobble/swivel socket onto the end of it makes those top 4 bell housing bolts a NON-ISSUE is almost every car/truck.

3/8 impact shallow swivels. Me personally I wouldn’t have that many ratchets. But impact swivels are a must. And regular 3/8 impact sockets

Despite other people’s comments, I’d say you did pretty good. I don’t ever use SAE stuff, but that’s just because I work for a Mazda dealer. I would recommend swivel sockets for sure. They’re something that I wish I had from snap on, but list price is just too much.

Life time investment and unlike a textbook you get to actually use it again daily. CPA over here sick of the bs and making a change at 45

Wish I woulda taken advantage of this while in school but money was super tight. Here I am years later buying stuff off the tool truck for crazy prices. But I love my snap on!

I didn't take advantage of my student discount and I regretted it. I didn't think I would be a mechanic forever so I went cheap on tools. Later on i went to college got a degree and for some crazy reseason I decided I hated my salary office job and went back to turning wrenches. Buy once, cry once.

Get tekton impact sockets complete no skips they got a 1/2 metric set 8-38mm no skips for 175, get 10% back all purchases plus since you a student can get 15% off as well, nice tool haul btw

Looks awesome!!!! I'm a master Electrician by trade, However I have always been the guy who fixes cars for friends. I love turning wrenches. About a year ago I started to up my mechanics tool game. At that time I started buying snap on tools. Just about every pay period I get a couple three sets of snap on tools. The result is my smaller top box and lower box is pretty full. Every tool in my box is Snap on, Matco, Mac and All made in the USA except my Fluke meter. Love all my tools. It matters to me where they are built, how they feel, if they mar the bolts I work on.

One additional thing is that every Friday the SEP has the deal of the week where they knock off an additional discount on whatever tool they have on specials. They had those double flex end ratcheting wrenches on the Friday deal of the week within the past year. That would be my first purchase from the SEP. You should had bought the impact swivels.

My school in Boston had a Snap-On partnership and we were given $10,000 worth of tools with a rolling toolbox at a discounted price so $5000 for $2500 per year/$1250 per semester. And because it's a college, i was included in our student loans. Fortunately for me though I got very lucky. The school granted me the tools the first year so it was slightly used. Also Patriots owner Robert Kraft donated money to the school and I got a small percentage of his scholarship and that paid the other half. Can't complain about Snap-On too much.

Do you have other tools besides this or is this all you have? Bc man if u don't have any impact wrenches or sockets, ull basically only be able to work on bicycles, with all those wrenchs and ratchets. I would try m return a couple ratchets if not used and put that money, with ur reminding balance and get u an impact wrench (pneumatic 1/2 first), an air or electric ratchet (3/8) and a set og 1/2 impacts atleast (up to 24mm, for now) a set of 3/8 impact. Impact extentions, adapters & swivels. You'll need impacts, unless u like breaking things an busting ur knuckles. Plus the fact that time is money. I've been professional mechanics close to 15 yrs and I still don't own that many socket wrenches. Especially snap-on ones. Lol

You did well. I did what you did years ago. I would have bought impacts vs the pretty chrome. You can use the softer impacts by hand but really shouldnt go the other way so you will probably be buying impacts too. I had to get SAE and Metric. There are exceptions but nowadays, its metric. My SAE tools sit. I would have bought something less expensive for the SAE and bought more Metric. If your tools are new, the truck rep may swap them for your if you change your mind. I was able to do that on my mistakes. Starting out, the newer split top roll carts are nice vs a box. Good luck.

You'll need locking pliers(vise grips), a soft dead blow hammer, impact sockets (probably just 1/2 drive for now), line wrenches, torx, e-torx and allen sockets, a magnet and mirror, flashlight. I'd go to Harbor Freight and buy their 24" 1/2" drive breaker bar. You can survive with just some swivel adapters for now; I'd wait on swivel sockets. Then, down the road, various ring pliers, punches and chisels, wire tools... diagnostics and your various kits, pullers, compression tester, and what not (Depending on your job). Nice start up; some of those tools you won't use as much as you'd think. They're still really nice to have and they'll last you a life time.

All impacts and wait on Chrome. Use impacts on hand tools but not the other way around. If you really desire to work in automotive you will need a decent impact gun and sockets. It will make your life so much easier. Good luck with your career.

best ratchet I've ever bought is a 1/4" drive body flex head ratchet (part number THLF72) with a 3/8" drive anvil in it. My rep was able to order the kit for it and it is awesome!

You should swap out the 0° ratcheting wrenches for the 15° reversible ratcheting wrenches. Trust me. Don't worry about the 60° wrenches. Pick up a set of the 3/8 impact swivels from 8, 10-19mm

Had to watch this again. That’s a really sweet collection of tools!

That's nice!! I would have spent the money a complete different way but that stuff will work..I would of went with only impact sockets in 1/4,3/8,1/2 then some power tools and some rathet wrenches..some tork and Allen's, some wobble extensions impact rated , torque wrenches, hammer, and multimeter, line wrenches and you would ptolly have money left

Thank you for sharing your wonderful videos I am from South Africa

Cordless 3/8" ratchet or a cordless 14.4v impact driver. Don't worry about all the criticism from folks saying you're wasting your money. They don't know your financial status. And maybe you were able to pay for them plus got them at a 55% discount. Good financial decision in my opinion. As long as you didn't put yourself into debt more than you can handle I'd say you're ok. Save up your money for a good box down the road. Can't go wrong with having the right tools for the job that are of good quality.

That discount is probably the only reason to buy snap on. Although great tools way over priced off the truck

Everyone saying he got this from the tool truck is wrong. He got 55% off straight from Snap-on. Not the tool truck.

Thanks for putting your student tools you were able to purchase at prices no one else gets, beside students. I am sure you will be very prosperous and successful with your Snap-on tools. It is why Snap-on is the number one preferred tools in the industry. Professional technicians prefer Snap-on 69% more than all other competitors and tool companies. Great tour.

I'm guessing all this is for a hobby. As a technician I love Snap-On tools, but I could never buy them just to use at home. For me the cost to quality "needed" ratio is too high for use that is not generating income. It is a very nice tool haul for a hobbyist, techs would lean to the power/impact side for the speed. More speed = More money

If I brought that as a trainee I would get the “All the gear but no idea” quote all the time lol

For us in Europe, Hazet is half price to snap-on and equal if not better.

It's been said a bunch of times but I will reiterate... I almost never use my Chrome sockets.

I have just about everything that you have laying there in exact with the exception of the standard handle Ratchets ..Mines are mainly soft comfort grips ...I also have them Snap-on High Performance double flexhead ratcheting wrench set in Metric but they also have that set in standard but instead of it being 5 wrenches in the standard set there are only 4 I believe

Even when I have my student discount, there is no way you will find me buying all of my tools on the Snap On truck. Sure, some things here and there but not my entire setup.

You’ve come an incredibly long way in a short time. Congrats! Watching from Ontario Canada

That is an excellent selection of basic tools. You would have regretted passing up such an opportunity. Now for some Milwaukee M18 Fuel and Capri impact sockets.

I would have bought a much different pile of tools... mainly air power and diagnostic tools. Hand tools can be bought so much cheaper even at 55 percent off from Snap-On. Sunex impact sockets, Tekton chrome sockets and screwdrivers, Lang pry bars, and Milwaukee electric tools. I love tools truck tools and I too have personally made poor financial decisions 😅, but a lot of them just aren't worth the price compared to the competition. They aren't really doing much to make their tools worth buying over cheaper brands.

Don't get any more tools! Just because you have been extended credit doesn't mean your goal it to max it out. If that is the way you think don't get any credit cards either! If Snap-On doesn't give you a large discount then for lesser used tools you should wait until you first need them. I really like Snap-On Tools and have been buying them for 30 years. But I have never been on a tool truck. I am willing to buy used but close to new Snap-On Tools which is way cheaper than list. But you have to be patient and pay when you buy them. If you are going to buy new Snap-On then get what you need and minimize duplication. I like the older style hard handle screwdrivers, they are much tougher, fit my hand better, and clean up easier. But I saw in this video that you bought brand new sets of the "Instinct" screwdrivers in both hard and soft handles. You could have lived with one set to start off.

Don’t take things wrong but coming from a guy that been doing this for 20+yrs the only chrome sockets I use are 1/4” the rest are impact 90% of the time. You do t really need all those chromies and that speed wrench u have will never be used in a shop. Most of the time I use air ratchets or battery power ones. You need some air tools or battery tools impact sockets 1/4,3/8,1/2 and get some locking extensions they will save you in a tight spot from losing the sockets.

I’m am a high volume independent flat rater . My advice , invest in semi deep sockets . Gear wrench has a nice 1/4 set 4-15 short and deep super dope . Snap on chrome 3/8 semi, get 3/8 semi deep impact swivels . Great when used with a very long 1/2 to 3/8 extension when pulling trans etc

Definitely aN impact set. Maybe a 3/8” drive metric set. I think they have a 14pc. Set. I’d go with that and a 3/8” universal impact adapter, and also the 1/2” impact swivel adapter. Should get you to about $6-700 there.

I don’t understand spending this kind of money on tools these days. Damn near every hand tool brand has no receipt, no questions asked full lifetime warranty. I mean even harbor freight has full lifetime warranty on all hand tools

I think it is awesome you got them 50% off. I don,t buy Snap On because they are over priced but 50% is a great deal. You need impact socket,s.

Wow that’s awesome, you’re gonna need some lights, magnet tray, compact impact or bit driver to make things faster, a magnet, punch set, I can go on allday lol. Nice setup!

Good choices. I think you spent your money wisely.

People are hating on this kid I think it’s a great bunch of tools and he will never have to buy any of that again. If I understand him correctly that cost him $5500 I don’t think that’s bad at all for really good tools.

The discount allows you to sell the tools used for close to what you spent for them, so from the economic standpoint it's a smart buy. Nonetheless, if it were me, I'd blend the tools brands to lower the cost factor and put the savings in my pocket. Over the years I've seen too many starting techs overcome by debt and leave the field. I would suggest buying a used tool cart or something from Harbor Freight especially if you start at the lube rack as most newbie techs do. You can sell the cart or trade in to get a larger box as you needs change. Just a suggestion from someone whose spent 40+ years in the auto service trade.

Nice! If I was you I'd get swivel sockets! You'll use them more than you'd think. The universal adapters won't always work like the swivel sockets. If your going to be working as a flat rate tech it's all about being fast and efficient. Best of luck to you sir

i personally would have held back on some of those ratchets and got a multi meter or some other special/daig tools, but love the tools man and good luck in this industry!

I see a lot of stuff but why not get impacts or torque wrenches or different stuff? In my profession as a diesel tech I never need that many wrenches or that kind of variety of wrenches. But your money your tools sounds good but is it practical or needed?

In the words of Eric the car guy “Buy the best tools YOU can afford” nice tools so long as they are paid for enjoy 😊

ok decent start but you will need more pliers like snap ring pliers and I didn't see any torx or Allen head sockets all three of those are must have item on any vehicle

Definitely get yourself some 3/8” drive metric impact sockets in shallow, deep and shallow swivels. Next, trade in the chrome 1/2” drive sockets and invest in your Allen sockets stubby and long. Skip Snap On and go with Milwaukee electric impact tools. For the cost of the Snap On 1/2 impact, you can easily outfit your toolbox with at least 3-4 great Milwaukee electric tools like a 1/2” gun, 1/4” extended ratchet, 3/8” impact right angle (You’re gonna want this one)a nut driver gun and batteries. Good luck! 👍🏻

Yeah I went only with ratchet’s from them right at the moment but now years later I went with wrenches, sockets, plier etc but in the beginning I don’t think its ideal till you are making snap on money but to reach his own. Wish the best in the field and hope it works out for you in the long haul. God bless

For someone who loves tools, you’ve got a hell of a Snap on collection.

Nice....but why is everything red? You do know snap on makes other colors right?

Snap ring pliers , the 48” pry bar or whatever length their biggest one is …you’ll def want battery or air tools but after the hand tools probably … I do heavy equipment so a bit different but there is all kinds of specialty tools you’ll need for auto as well … tap and die set, extractors etc

Interesting.... A lot of that wouldn’t have been my choice, especially all those ratchets, chrome sockets and different handled screw drivers. When you need impact sockets J.H. Williams is Snap-on’s industrial brand and their U.S made stuff is nice for much much less.

I’m going to subscribe hoping you’ll do a tool box update.

CT761 3/8 impact and a PT850

Damm I was 18 in automotive school and just turned 27 and finished my degree in computer science and 1 year in and love it glad I’m out of automotive

My power mechanics teacher is signing me up for this. So excited. Im not gonna get a buncha ratchets like you did. Imma try and get some torque wrenches

Haven’t used my mini ignition wrenches in years. No need to any more

good set up ,, chisels and punches are missing ,, trim tools and a radiator hose tool or two , magnet on a stick , a smaller hammer and a soft hammer ,,, allen key sockets / torx sockets ,, circlip pliers ,, thats the stuff that springs to my mind. couple of scrapers if you have cash left over , and a craft knife and a hacksaw or two , large one and smaller one maybe some visegrips.

Nice tools, go towards impact tools. Also don't worry about the negative comments about buying snap on tools. May God bless you in the automotive industry.

14.4 3/8 cordless ratchet and impact would be my next buy. Maybe fuel and ac line disconnect tools or fan clutch tools,test light, fluke multimeter. Plastic rivet remover tools. Plastic Prybars. Torq bits interior trim tools and the list goes on and on. Trust me you’ll have a whole lifetime of buying tools and it never stops. What you have bought so far is high quality Snap-on tools but I would have spent by money different with them. For instance the sockets I would’ve bought the Bluepoint Sockets and got the master set of 1/4. 3/8. and 1/2. You would have had three times the amount of sockets for half the cost. Also in them sets come Extensions and ratchets. All lifetime warranty. You will come to find out what you like and what best works for you. What you want to look for when buying tools if you have to ask to borrow a tool more than three times. You need to buy your own and that doesn’t mean it has to be the most expensive or the best. You want Quality that’s backed with a warranty with good service for the best price.

You can still purchase a roll cabinet and a scanner from the SEP website plus the additional $1000 retail price in hand tools.

Air tools and electric is a must. make the job so much quicker

I have just as much tools and only spend 3000 at the most in tekton, gearwrench, Milwaukee etc on amazon. I just don't have that many ratchets and purchased some cordless power tools

So far are you liking the locking flex head wrenches? I’m in a auto collision repair program that also has the SEP discount program and I’ve been eyeing those ratchets. Estimated with the discount how much did the metric and standard 3/8” and 1/4” shallow and deep sockets cost?

Holy Smokes! $11Kto 12K? Nice with 55% discount...ONLY $5,500! Great review, Thanks.

Just an FYI you can do that for MacTools tekton and Matco tools all you have to do is show proof you’re in school Matco doesn’t limit you

Impact sockets then buy a milwaukee mid-torque impact wrench good investment if you work on cars

I wish I had done this when I was in school, I thought snap on was just Gucci tools for dummies, but when you use them everyday they’re worth the money…get some impact swivel sockets too.

It really puts it into perspective when you lay out $11,000 (retail price) in Snap On tools. I have a Matco 6s toolbox with top chest and side cabinet that is stuffed with tool truck tools with some Craftsman and Harbor Freight mixed in. I know I have spent tens of thousands of dollars over the years. I don’t think I want to know exactly how much.

I mean if you if you can get that half off I guess that's cool. However probably would of been better off going with sunex,proto, Williams, Blackhawk, and Lisle stuff. To answer your question though for snap on stuff Blue point makes a good handy hex, torx, and E-socket set.

Home sweet home pokemon rug in the top corner automatically gets a like

Cool stuff man. I’d highly recommend investing in the 1/2” drive extension with metric and SAE impact flip sockets for wheel lugs. It’s a 3 piece set and probably the most used tool I have next to my impact gun.

Can you get the tools shipped to your house through the student excellence program?

Holy shit bro. I hope you work at a shop with a snapon dealer

You don’t have a torque wrench and four pairs of pliers isn’t enough. You want tiny pliers and also very long needlenose pliers. Lights. A drain bucket. Oil filter wrenches. And OBD reader. Impact sockets.

Nice set up, u did good for the money spent

My brother got into the automotive program in high school and I'm using his account... I've also maxed it out...

For a second there I thought that one socket maxxed out your loan.

Wow. All beautiful but that iv been a heavy mechanic for 17 years I'd definitely split that up between Bluepoint and power tools diag tools and battery tester.
