The Blue-Point Tool Company, founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1925, initially specialized in punches and chisels. It soon expanded its offerings to include wrenches, pliers, and other hand tools. The Blue-Point name, derived from the blue tips of its oil-quenched and tempered punches and chisels, became synonymous with high-quality hand tools.
Building on the success of its initial products, Blue-Point instructed its Milwaukee factory to create the finest open-end wrenches available, regardless of competition or price. The factory delivered a set of eight wrenches that promised unbeatable durability, and the sales force successfully marketed these tools based on their exceptional quality.
In 1930, Blue-Point merged with the Snap-on Wrench Company to form Snap-on Tools, Inc. Today, Snap-on offers a wide range of high-quality products, including hand tools, power tools, and personal safety equipment, all perceived as delivering exceptional value.
Snap-on is dedicated to meeting customer needs with top-notch products, equipment, and services. The company strives to be indispensable to its customers by providing innovative solutions and high standards of design, durability, and precision.
