They change suppliers all the time. I'm guessing this has something to do with the hot and cold quality on some stuff.
I have a whole lot of Snap-On too, most of which is 20+ years old. I'm constantly amazed at special tools you can get nowadays for 1/10th the price I paid for stuff back then. Not just at Harbor Freight either; auto parts stores, etc, all have cheap stuff anymore.
The Good:
3-packs of welding gloves- They're pretty nice.
Auto-darkening welding helmet- I've used mine a lot and it works great.
2-inch pipe cutter- Haven't used it a WHOLE lot, but seems to work fine.
Welding magnets- Nothing to go wrong with them.
The So-so:
5-inch air sander- Works pretty good but is uncomfortable in my hand. My old Ingersol that I finally wore clear out was much more comfortable to hold.
Wrenches- One ear broke off the open end of a 9/16th wrench. Had a huge occlusion in it.
Sockets- They work okay, but the etching on them is worse than useless. Might as well not be there.
The Pathetic:
Zip ties. I broke the first four or five in a row just cinching them down.
