Diesel Service Technology
Required Tool Set

The staff at PCC strongly recommends purchasing high quality tools which have a lifetime guarantee.  Students have an excellent opportunity to purchase tools at a substantial discount through many different vendors which 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 503-614-7210.

The Tool set listed below 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.
