Pros:
1. One of my sons bought a 6" digital caliper there, it seems pretty good.
2. I like their heat guns, they work and they're cheap enough to throw away and buy another when it dies.
3. Their heat shrink, though with people having bad reports about it, I will have to keep an eye on it.
4. Tyraps.
5. Same son bought a router there, seems ok though it runs hot.
6. Their 1/2" drive sockets seem ok.
7. The cheap angle grinder is ok.
8. We have a stationary belt sander that seems ok.
9. Tape measures are ok.
10. The scissors they sell, similar to the army med kit ones are ok.
Cons:
1. Their pop riveters, I've bought them but they seem really cheaply made, and take an excessive amount of force to pop a rivet.
2. Ditto their riv-nut tools.
3. My son bought a router there, it gets too hot to hold!
4. Crimping pliers are crap.
5. Drill bits seem to die prematurely.
6. Their aviation-style metal shears are crap, the jaws don't meet.
@highdesertranger: I hate buying the stuff but when I have to fix the van I gotta do something. Nowadays I'm lucky if I can even find tools made anywhere else, yet alone afford them.
Does anyone know if SnapOn are still US made?
