Caterpillar Tools

[bcole911]

New to the forum so apologies if this has been discussed. I just ordered a pliers set from Caterpillar. I was told, after ordering, that these were actually made by (or by the same manufacturer) as SnapOn.

part number 206309765506

Any truth to that??

Cat (Snap-On) tool haul

My local Cat dealer had a 40% off Cyber Monday sale and I got their 3 piece plier set, 6 piece screwdriver set, 3/8 metric 12 point socket set, 3/8 metric 12 point deep socket set, 3/8 metric 6 point socket set, 1/4 metric 6 point socket set and 1/4 metric 6 point deep socket set, all for $262.16

This does seem to be the case with at least vast majority of the CAT branded hand tools. Its a known hack to get new "snap-on" tools at a better price.
