SATA (Chinese Matco?)

[oldtools]

Danaher own SATA (Chinese tools maker). I notice SATA has the same logo as Matco (also own by Danaher). Is SATA the Chinese Matco?

yes. i believe they are a distribution company NOT a manufacturer though.

I think they're Chinese Danaher. By that I mean they are a large Chinese tool manufacturer that puts out more than Matco clones. However since Danaher is selling more Chinese made tools mostly from the PRC and seems to be reducing the amount of tools made in Taiwan, Sata may be one source for those Gearwrench and Matco tools wthout those three little letters USA on them.

Not to be confused with SATA spray guns which are German, I believe.

 

[GearWrench Brand]

Yes, SATA is similar to a Chinese MATCO - although the distribution model is a little different.

SATA is a large manufacturer and part of Danaher Tool Group.

Just like the chicoms to STEAL the name of a high quality brand name, so that the uninformed will associate quality with chicrap.

I have an ATD Tools socket set and have been impressed with the quality feel of the sockets and the ratchet. I have wondered which of the overseas tool companies made it. After browsing thru the SATA web site I'm pretty sure I now know who it was.

A 1975 Datsun B210 is not a great car. A 2009 Lexus is a great car. The same with tools. The problem is why it happens. IMO

That is one shinny ratchet. Look almost like a SO.

Yes, it and the sockets in the set have a very nice finish on them.
