Got a student discount on all three. Want tools that are commonly used. Already work in the automotive industry, looking to further my arsenal. Was thinking Snap-On open end wrenches (SAE and Metric), possibly a Snap-On 24oz dead blow ball peen hammer, Matco ratchets (1/4, 3/8, and 1/2). Don't know enough about Mac but want some stuff from there, as long as it is a frequently used item. What's good from the big three?
Best tools from the big three student discounts (Snap-On, Matco, Mac)

Matco 88T ratchets are excellent. Snap On flare nut wrench set. The SO PH3050 is still one of the best .401 shank air hammers on the market: even with all of the lower cost competition now, it's still probably worth it at a good discount. I recently bought a 20 oz SO dead blow ballpein and like it, but it's definitely a luxury type purchase; an Estwing will do the same thing at a fraction of the price- but with the added expense of additional shock to your elbow and wrist. Snap On FD combination wrenches might be worth it at the discount- but compare the price to Proto and Wright.
There was a thread like this a few months ago; I'll see if I can find it.
