Universal impact sockets, snap ring pliers, 2 pack of deadblow ballpiens, torxs and hex master set, at half price I'd buy wrenchs in standard and metric (those are gonna eat up a lot of the budget)
I would call snap on and ask for your regional managers contact information and explain your concerns to him. Your credit is nothing to play around with.
