OK-Tools?

[SCscoutguy]

Ok so occasionally I will buy some cheap Chinese **** from emails I get from this company www.meritline.com. Well I noticed a few weeks ago that they listed "Snap-on" wrenches on their site but on further investigation the wrenches in the pictures say "OK-Tools" on them. Well I googled and found their site http://www.ok-tools.com.cn/default.asp. I emailed them and sent them the link to the meritline site and they said that was a picture of their wrenchs but it was not marketed as a Snap-on wrench. So how can this site get away with marketing these wrenches as Snap-on when they clearly are not?

Yeah, Snap On will jump on them like a hungry dog on a pork chop. Companies like Snap On MUST "marshall" their brand names and trademark rights, or risk losing them. They will act upon this, I guarantee it.

Haha, they have Benchmade "style" knives.

"Ships from China warehouse. Most customers receive in 2-3 weeks."

I'm guessing this is a chinese website? If thats the case, there's not much that can be done. Look up some of the sites that sell $3000 Gibson guitars for $300. Buyer beware.

Well, they've got a CA business license and a SoCal phone number putting it in the San gabriel valley somewhere. I must admit, yeah, that's really deceptive marketing.

Maybe these are the new Snap-On tools that will be selling at Costco, Pep Boys, Walmart, etc..
