Stanley HQ was (still is?) in Connecticut I believe. In
fact if I remember correctly, it was in New Britian. I
believe that you are right about them being shamed into
staying.
About the MAC or Snap-On; if you see then somewhere you can
always go over to the truck. They will sell you stuff. I
believe that you can order she Snap-on tools on line...
