Snap-on / Blue-point

[Britishbeefy]

I'm looking on that auction site and seeing Blue Point advertised when I'm searching for Snap-on. What's the difference? Are they a budget version of the real thing?

blue point is a brand snap on sell. tends to be the stuff they don't actually make like trolley jacks for instance.

they also do blue point air tools cheaper than snap on branded. not quite as nice but work ok IME.

There a lot cheaper , more of an industrial version , not as shinny or as tactile ( good word aye ) but just as good , ( personally speaking ) never had any trouble with either , except for snap on screw driver bit's , there sh*te

i've got a snap-on impact driver - and when I used it every day the bits used to break regularly.

luckily - mr snap-on van man had lots of them and used to exchange them no worries.

A snap-on inpact driver is 5 times better than any other type i've seen
