The only difference between Snap-On and Blue-Point is where the parts are made. Snap-On is 100% made in USA. Blue-Point can have parts from all over the world, *but* they are manufactured to the same level of quality as Snap-On.

you rich man

when i was race tuning and repairing jet ski's, i started off a snap on tab with my mobile dealer and payed him £20 a week and just took what i wanted. when my cheapo toolbox was full i decided to get a snap-on toolbox to go with my collection, but asked how much my tab was and it was over £1500 and had been keeping up on payments for months. decided to get a blue point box and when it was all payed off, the total was £2600 for tools and box. there was loads more i still needed too. when i left my job and went into industry i didnt need them anymore so sold them off for £1500 and loads of them were never used. it was very shiny in the snap-on van and i just wanted it ALL.
