Snap on & Bahco Tools

[Rosso]

Hi,

Was doing some research today into some pliers and couldn't believe my eyes when i came across this:

http://www.bahco-werkzeuge.de/products/7140.html

That looks to me to be an exact copy of the MG725 SO air gun, supposedly made in the USA.....

If you run through the specs the two are identical, 1098NM of torque etc

I know Snappy sells a lot of Bahco stuff re-branded but are the airguns actually Bahco or perhaps Bahco have a license to make them too ??

Bahco and Snap On are the same company. Snap On bought Bahco.

Bahco is owned by Snap On. So, no license is needed.

Ah right i see.

FYI anyone in the market for an MG725 the Bahco branded one is nearly half the price (At least it is in the UK) £210 vs £398 !

I wish you could get chrome handled Bahco Dual 80 rats. All they offer is a comfort grip.

Looks like they have a version of the MG325 with the same knob:
