Students may choose to secure the basic required tool set through their own sources or through these tool suppliers. Those students who already have all of their own tools will not be required to purchase a new set, but will need to have their tool set and box approved by their instructors. Please refer to the tool list for the program of study you will be attending.
These representatives have been invited to the Tool Show during Freshman Orientation, May 4, 2006.

It is possible to purchase these tools through your own sources, such as an automotive parts house or dealership that may carry one of these more well known brand names: Challenger, S and K, or Industro. The only recommendation NWKTC makes is that you purchase tools that have a lifetime guarantee or warranty against breakage.
We recommend that you order your tool set a month or two before your starting date, and have the tools delivered to your home address. We further recommend that you only order the minimum set of tools at the beginning of your program. Check with your tool supplier for special student discounts. Most suppliers will allow you to add additional tools at the half-way point of your course and still purchase tools and roll cabinets at a student discount.
