is the B&M even made in the US???
if it isnt then it is made by the same factories that are making the knock-off
i have the knock off and i love it.
everyone i know who had the real deal had the same rattling etc. but paid 3 times more for it.
if your reasoning for buying the B&M is "percieved" value, i woudl say look into it more and make sure that you are getting $140 more out of the B&M.
chances are that considering Apexi, Greddy, etc. etc. are having stuff made in Taiwan that B&M is as well.
heck, Canadian Tire's Mastercraft tool brand (equivalent to Sear's Craftsman) is also imported from Taiwan... but i bet you dont have a problem saving the money buying those tools rather than Snap-On.
