Mark,
I am not sure when Rigid might have acquired Snap-on, but for over 50
years the Snap-on
trucks have been visiting mechanic's shops with a first class line of
strictly automotive tools, including
click action torque wrenches. My tools must be 50 years old. These are
professional automotive
tools, and work forever. I still have my set of Snap-on Whitworth
wrenches, and torque wrench
I bought for my MG-TD or Jaguar XK120M, and they are awaiting the day I
buy an MG-TC.
(Unless my son beats me to it!) He is building an aluminum, battery
powered one for my grand son.
