I will tell you this my buddy has a custom snap-on box with a made in waterloo Ia sticker on it, same goes for my mac tools cart. I beleive all tool boxs come from the same place but each manufacturer requires different quilty when built! As for sockets I only buy snap-on but keep in mind that blue point which is sold by snap-on is made in china or someplace like that.
Just like batteries. Many of them are made by US Battery. They are made to different specs and get different cases and decals, but come off the same assy line. We have two US battery plants here.
