    (sorry if I take this thread off course)

    I have a MAC and Snap-On question. Do you buy the tools at list price or does your salesman always sell you the tools at a discounted rate?

    The reason I am asking is my son is planning on going to a technical college (Marine Technology) where he has to buy tools. The instructor stated 4 brands (MAC Snap-On, Craftsman and another truck vendor I can't think of at the moment). All of the tools and tool boxes will be discounted to 50% off for the student.

    I'm curious if he should buy everything in school or hold off until he is working to get some of it. For example if a socket set is $500 through Snap-On he would get it for $250 but if he can get it from a truck for $300-350 it isn't that amazing of a deal.
