tested with go/no go gauges. It would be very rare to get a defective
tool. Plus the quality of the steel enables them to make most wrenches
a little smaller and still maintain the strength of thicker ones. G.M.
Is the quality still the same, now that a bunch of their stuff is made off shore? I know the price doesn't reflect the change from US made snapon tools to elsewhere made snapon tools. Their profit margin must be astronomical now. The price they charge is completely insane.
