Snapon through my college... (Well technically a friends ordering it for me, he already has a full setup so his discount goes unused.)

As far as I under stand it works like this...
You must be in auto classes. School has a snap on dealer, you order through them. You get discount.

Good deal
 Think you may have overpaid with some of those Snap On brand tools however. Some of their stuff is worth the extra price, but some of it you are just paying for the name. Like pliers for instance. Then again you did get a 60% discount so it probably all worked out the same. You guys probably don't want to hear about my hand tools. Can't buy stuff like this anymore.
