wouldn't pay shipping and I'd know I was getting the genuine article.

Define genuine.

Snap-On doesn't manufacture all their own tools. A lot of their line
is rebranded from other manufacturers. Granted, SO does sell some
very fine tools, some of the best, but they also sell some seriously
cheap junk. I've had the displeasure of buying one item from SO that
broke in my hand on first use.

I assumed they had various manufacturers make some of their stuff, but I'm
surprised to hear they're selling low-quality tools under their flagship
name. What sort of experience did you have getting the broken tool
replaced?
