They are sold by Snap-On. Whether all the Blue Point stuff is made by Snap-On I don't know. I know the Blue Point air tools are not and technically only have a 1 year warranty but my dealer usually warranties them out anyway.

LSS1 is right. They are sold by them anyway.
I too have both sets of whrenches, a Snap-On set and a Blue Point set. The finish on the BP stuff is like a Craftsamn. Somewhat textured rather than full polish. Otherwise, the wrenches appear identical. My Snap-On man told me that BP tools were more geared toward industrial customers like the railroad and governement.

 BLUE POINT TOOLS ARE SNAP-ON CHEAPER LINE. ANY BLUE POINT AIR TOOLS THAT I HAVE OWNED HAVE BEEN PRETTY MUCH JUNK. THERE HAND TOOLS AREN'T MUCH BETTER. PERSONALLY -- I THINK YOU CAN FIND ALOT BETTER TOOLS FOR LESS MONEY, & I'M A BIG SNAP-ON FAN WHO OWNS A TON OF THERE TOOLS.  JOHN

My experience tells me that the Blue Points, as a rule, are NOT made by Snap-On. THey are sold by them.
