I feel like that's been the case for a while, Snap On and HF's quality seems to be equalizing.

LOL. I didn't even realize what day it is. But as soon as I saw the title I was thinking..."obviously another false rumor I'm going to have to look up and prove wrong."
Then I scrolled down...LOL

As long as HF doesn't raise their prices by more than 10% to pay for this, then it is a great acquisition.
Time to get the "tool truck" off the road.
It is not very "Green".

someone has a good line of BS going there
All I can say is that it will be very interesting to see what Snap-on stock does when the market opens this morning.That's too bad, I know Snap-on has some stuff with a foreign COO, and they do already have the largely foreign made Blue-Point line, but it truly seems like this is the beginning of the end for Snap-on being a U.S. made brand.
made it half way threw then looked at the date....lmao

Yes! and now the SO stuff will only be overpriced by 60%. Unfortunately that free LED flashlight now costs $85.

That guy sure does make a lot of money. My contributions for him to be riding around in yachts with celebrities and strippers, has kept me poor. I feel like a greasemonkey slave.
