Default Snap-On, and "cheap", in the same sentence?

OK, tell me what am I missing. Competition from Harbor Freight has
not killed Snap-On. It enjoys a decent return on equity, which
suggests a superior competitive position and pricing power, which
you know already by looking at their exorbitant prices and what is in
mechanics' toolboxes. Manageable debt, cash flow commensurate with
earnings, etc. I think that financing problems of its franchisers are
overblown.


They have regularly been purchasing their own stock.


I think that they are attractively priced. Just $1,000 invested in
Snap-On stock, would yield enough to buy four Harbor Freight wrench
sets per year.
