new britian and wizzard?

[toolstools]

I have one or two new Britain and a socket marked "DWizzard". Wondering if they are relates to snap on and blue point? the new Britain looks like blue point writing and the dwizzard on looks like an older snap on socket have. Yes/no?

Nope. New Britain was a quality brand though.

New Britain was one of the big tool manufacturers back in the day, but they weren't related to Snap-on or Blue Point:

Wizard was a house brand of tools sold by Western Auto. Many of the Wizard tools I've seen were made by Indestro.

Both New Britain and Wizard were high quality tools....

New Britain made some fantastic tools back in the day ,shame that the Napa tool line dropped them because I go ape over old napa and New Britain tools.
