History

Snap-On NO Longer Made in the USA - MADE OVERSEAS???? - Where are Snap On hand tools made? This kind of threw me for a loop since everyone always says that Snap On hand tools are made in the United States of America. Please don't get me wrong, I...

In 1882, James Harvey Williams and Matthew Diamond founded Williams & Diamond in Flushing, Queens, a drop forging business. The business was relocated to Brooklyn in 1884 and took the name J.H. Williams & Co in 1887. The company was one of the first to offer mass-produced drop-forged hand tools. A second factory was opened in Buffalo, New York in 1914 (now the site of General Motors' Tonawanda Engine plant).

The company was acquired by Snap-on in 1993, and it was officially renamed Snap-on Industrial Brands in 2011.
