HAND TOOLS REQUIRED FOR THE GM-ASEP PROGRAM
A comprehensive list of hand tools is provided below. All tools are to be provided by each student. Please keep in mind that Delaware Tech does not sell tools. The College does, however, invite tool manufacturer representatives to demonstrate their products to our GM ASEP students during the first week of class. Students may purchase tools from any vendor or manufacturer, but they must deal directly with the tool representatives. Also, students are under no obligation to buy tools from any particular vendor. The purchase of tools is a matter of personal preference.

GM ASEP students are required to purchase or have their tools during their first week of class. Students cannot complete their lab assignments, or go to work at their sponsoring dealership without a set of tools.
