Diesel Service Technology
Required Tool Set
The staff at Portland Community College strongly recommends purchasing high quality tools that have a lifetime guarantee. Students have an excellent opportunity to purchase tools and tool storage at a substantial discount through many different vendors who support the Diesel Program.
It is recommended that students contact a Diesel Service Technology Instructor for guidance in the purchasing of the required tool set. Information on purchasing tools can be obtained by calling the diesel shop at 971-722-7275.
This tool set is adequate to accomplish the work required of the students during class and it will enable the students to accomplish the work required of them when they first are employed. It should be understood that technicians must continue to build their tool complement throughout their career.
It is understood that some pre-packaged vendor tool kits may vary from the Portland Community College required tool list. If the vendor tool kit varies greatly for the PCC required tool list, speak to an instructor to ensure that your purchase will provide you with the needed tools to complete your classes.
