That is about standard for Snap on.
Matco seems to be the worst for mark ups on obvious rebrands, though its all rebrand fromr them.
Cornwell is most reasobable
It seemes to come on fast. Even just maybe 10 yrs ago I remember matco actually making their tools. Not any more.
I got two pinless swivel impact socket warrantied. I noticed they no longer were stamped USA. I brought this to my dealers attention.
He was pissed!
They never said anything about changing manufacturers or going overseas, also are still charging USA made pricing. He's going to bring it up to his regional manager. Says he has a laundry list he wants to bring up lol.
If matco keeps just rebranding, how long can they stay alive? However I don't see snap on coming out with much new. Also seems like their QC is slacking.
I try not to buy much from Matco because I can usually get the same item at lower prices elsewhere. However if it's a higher $$ item I'll go through my dealer 1) because I can make payments 2) if I have any issues here's there every week. I don't have to mail it back to the online retailer or anything.
I don't buy much from Snappy because their prices seem ridiculous.
