I´ve heard that Snap On purchased the MalCo Eagle Grip factory tooling and is making locking pliers USA made under the Snap On name?
Are the SO needle nose US made like the eagleI just noticed they SO, came out with needle nose locking pliers, something Malco never released.
I also notice that SO has some adjustable wrenches that are USA made, where are they sourcing those?
I thought it was the EOL for USA made, when Western Forge closed....Snap-on Store

And why is an 8" all-sixteenths $101??? (which seems incredibly expensive for an 8")I just noticed they SO, came out with needle nose locking pliers, something Malco never released.

They have bought enough machinery to produce the Eagle Grips after Malco to me quit early after making the finest locking pliers I have ever used and doing one of the worst marketing jobs in tool history. Snap-on have restarted US made adjustable wrench's after Western Forge went away and APEX ended US production. A lot of government contracts has US made in them as a priority so it makes sense for them plus even at double the cost of the same Eagle Grips S-O was still selling them so once again it makes a lot on sense for them.I just noticed they SO, came out with needle nose locking pliers, something Malco never released.
