Posted by: smooth_eddy Jul 13 2005, 07:52 PM

I ordered a set of feeler gages from Snapon.com They arrived today. Receipt said snap on but the tool itself said Blue Point. WTF is that? Eddy

Blue Point is not Snap On, however, I have purchased Blue Point off my friends Snap On truck. If you were paying for a Snap On tool, you should have gotten Snap On.

Well I ordered a snap on set from their web page. Guess I got the old switch-er-oo trick.

I had this conversation with the tool man

Snap-on = Made in USA
Blue Point = Overseas.

Feller guages do not exsist in pure Snap-on...they have to stay competitive

IMHO
Snap-On: is fuchin expensive, has Lifetime warr., high quality
Blue Point: is a little cheaper, has same warr., almost same quality

Same mother company

Some of thier products are like that though. Ive got a couple ratcheting wrenches that are made by Snap-On, but since they were made overseas, they are no bluepoint.

Sears Craftsman stuff is about the same ON SOME PRODUCTS. I usually end up getting thier stuff. Its local and convienient if you break a tool you need that day.

I guess I just want to know when ordering if it's the real deal or an import. I sent off an email to snap on telling them I was pissed off for advertising snap on and sending blue point and enclosing a snap on receipt. They should disclose up front what they are going to send. Eddy
