I made a similar crack to a Snap On salesman that makes a mint selling
to Boeing. I was talking to him about a software package for managing
tools, and he swore up and down that Snap On makes their own tools. Always
have, and always will. That doesn't mean that Snap On doesn't make tools
for others, though. After all, the numbers and letters are stamped in an
operation after the tool is usually initially forged, before heat treatment,
and it's the forge that's the big ticket item.
