I start "College" in a week!

I only have a week to come up with any sort of money for tools lol. The school has all of the major companies come to the school and offers a very good discount. I think its a tax write off for them. I was curious about what tools are more important to be quality. For instance, is it worth buying a snap on ratchet over a craftsman? Torque wrenches, best bang for the buck? I will make some sort of living off my tools someday, but there is always another day to buy more and better quality stuff.

I guess this is more of a question for the shops. Most ppl dont have the time or the money to have a huge amount of tools. So how would most of us know what is worth spending the big cash on?
