Blue Point

Hey guys I picked up a box of wrenches the other day. I found a few stamped Blue Point, the logo looking almost exactly like Snap-On. I then looked online and saw that Snap-On sold Blue Point. I was wondering if Blue Point was just Snap-On's lower brand or what? How would a Blue Point wrench compare to Snap-On or Craftsman?

If ya wanna have some fun????- go to ebay.com and put in blue point under "all categories" see what shows up. You may see your wrenches on there for auction. Then, put in the words snap on (with the space) and see where a lot of us buy and sell snap on equipment and tools. Cheaper than the "truck"!

If they have the same guarentee as Snap-On, can you trade them in at the Snap-On truck? One of the wrenches I have of Blue Point is broken and I was hoping I could get it fixed or get a new one.

Yeah-just ask your local snap on driver-of course, he or she will want to believe you are a future customer. I get different approaches to the warrantee from different driver/owners. But I think you will get a new wrench.

That warranty is alot better if you owe them money. the more money you owe the better your warranty will seem to be.
