They don't"farm out" Snap on boxes. They do outsource Blue Point ones though

It was my understanding that the Snap-on plant is in Algona, Iowa. I knew snap-ons were made in house by them as well as MAC making there own.
I should have been more clear, my point was namely the entry/mid level stuff like craftsman, waterloo, and some of the other brands. What I meant was Waterloo made most the entry level boxes the way I understand it at one time. Not sure they do now though as most of them have moved overseas. And it may not all be made in the US lots uses overseas parts and assemble them in the US.
Either way the conversion with my tool guy, and yeah sure it was as selling point, and was a while ago so I am sure alot had changed manufacture wise with who makes what. anyway
