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. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

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 Later Joe (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) |

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
