Snap-On corporate buildings hapenings

[mrborohachi]

In Southern CA there is a Corporate SO office that i always asked myself WTF do they do there??? Huge official 3D logo at the front of the place is the typical all red "Snap-On" logo. I go to a auto part warehouse that shares a parking lot with the SO office. This afternoon I just happen to see a fair amount of employees come out of the place all in short sleeve button up SO shirts getting off work. I went up to a guy and asked what the hell did they make there. There was a big wood sign in front of the building that said: "looking to hire CNC operators"

Guy told me they are a "torque wrench" production facility. I asked the new style vibrate torque wrenches he said YES, I asked old style click type and he said yes and i asked the older dial type and YES to that tooo

So for my self at least I finally figured out what the Hell that office was used for

They got to have some place to count the money.

Sounds like you caught the guy eager to get home and torque his wife

Plus besides manufacturing, they would need offices for product planning, marketing, sales, dealer support, customer service, etc.. My wife's brother works as a planner at a hand tool company. I wish I had his job -- dealing with tools all day! But it probably gets tedious.

If you think that's tedious, imagine pushing paper for almost 29 years on the Army's tools/kits and almost never seeing the tools.

That's cool... I've been in the area before, never seen it though.

click street view to take a look at the building. I got a friend that would probably hump that building.

The google car drives right through the security gate, there was an open door in the back of the building. I was half expecting the google car to drive in it.

The side of the building reads "CDI Torque Products- A Snap-On Company"

And yeah, that is kinda cool that the Google car drives all the way around the building.

There is also a SanJose facility that does some of the scanners.
