Well, being that I work for Snap-On, I get 30% off everything, even if it's on sale. You can find good sets of tools through Snap-On "outlets" when they have them available.

If you can find a student in a school sponsered by snap-on you could get the half-off he's talking about. UTI comes to mind specifically. Find a UTI student, they get 50% through snap-on industrial. Jim Padgett is the Rep for the Orlando/MMI campus.

They are like this because they have damaged packaging, dirty packaging etc. etc. I'll find out tomorrow how it works, and if it's only available to employees or not.

It is available only to employees. I bought one of my top chest through it, you can get good deals, but have to pay in full right then, whereas as an employee you can normally have a payment of a minimum 12.50 taken out of your check each week, interest free.

Matcos Vo-Tech pricing is good for as long as you are in school and they have no spending limit. My local SK dealer gives us 50% off list on everything for as long as we are in school plus six months.
Matco has the same spending limit http://www.matcotools.com/Votech/faq_votech.jsp
but 7500 from snap-on and 7500 from matco would be a good amount of tools. defiently enough for a while.
I've never used any matco tools, but was thinking about buying a ratchet to check it out. I don't like the snap-on ratchets
