BAHCO TOOLS-by snap-on?

[62 bird]

Whats with the people selling "BAHCO" tools, by SNAP-ON, on e-bay?
Is this legal, just if S.O. owns any or all of that foreign co. All their tools are not made in U.S. and definitaly not in Kenosha.
They are all over ebay big seller caochbills is user name. Has anyone run across this fake?

Instant spelling correction- its coachbills on ebay
Putting tools listed as S.O. just because maybe S.O. owns Williams stock and Bahco Stock. Is this fair to buyers?

 

[krusty the clown]

it's called keyword spamming...........and i believe snap on owns bahco and williams entirely

Well, I always feel that if you don't do your research prior to purchasing anything, it's really your own fault. I understand that they are trying to pawn these as true Snap-On pieces, so I can see the gripe about that.

Atleast it's decent quality stuff they are trying to sell as real Snap-On, it could be pure ****.

Has anyone seen the quality of the Bahco tool?

Heres a thread from yesterday. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26742
I don't personally have any experience with them.

Can you tell me the difference between" decent quality stuff and pure ****" as you said?

It's the same with Blackhawk by Mac. I don't care who your distant relatives are, a Snap on tool says Snap on on it, not Bahco or Williams. That's why the golden rule of Ebay is buyer beware.

I think you know what I mean, there are some fisher price type stuff out there, and some that will hold up to abuse.

Because the Snap-On name is so well known that attaching it to an existing product will make it sell. It's marketing.

That's why I like Cornwell: good stuff - nobody knows about it.
