I've also been curious of Blue Points hand tool warranty and where Blue Point is made. So, where is Blue Point made? and what is the warranty for Blue Point hand tools?

They carry the same life time warranty, unless otherwise noted (like air tools), and the COO depends on the tool. Most being Taiwan. I like the sockets...

Same warranty unless otherwise noted.

As for COO they are made everywhere. From what I understand bluepoint for the most part are tools snap on sells that they do not make. There are a bunch of US made blue point tools along with many other countrys

There's quite a lot of American Blue point, some German too.

I just got a pair of Blue Point Automatic wire strippers that are the cat's meow. They're German. I have a Blue Point mini sledge, Nupla I believe. There's a bunch more a can't remember. I think Blue Point is a brand that Snap-on uses just as Scott said.

Bluepoint is Snap-on's "We sell it, but don't make" brand. As said in other posts country of origin depends on the tool, and what manufacturer they use. Most bluepoint hand tools appear to be imported Williams.

For some reason, I look at Blue-Point as its just a cheap tool in some ways, but I would still buy it for the price compared to Snap-On if the same Snap-on version costs way more.

The thing to remember is bluepoint is not snap-on with a different label, it is just a lower cost brand they sell alongside their pro line. For example a bluepoint ratchet will feel different in your hand then a snap-on ratchet, not because its not snap-on and you are mentally convincing yourself its not the same but because it genuinly physically is not the same.
