Yeah, obviously you are not a mechanic and don't know anything about tools. Craftsman timing lights are made in Japan and China. Snap-on timing lights are made in Kenosha Wisconsin. If you want I can continue.

Yeah, obviously you are not a mechanic and don't know anything about tools.
Craftsman timing lights are made in Japan and China. Snap-on timing lights
are made in Kenosha Wisconsin. If you want I can continue.

Before you make such condescending remarks about someone else's knowledge,
perhaps you should check your own.
Snap-on offers three timing lights, one made in Korea, the other two made in
China as per their website.

Wow... ULTIMATE thread resurrection! 10 years, 2 months and a 1 week since the original post/replies ;-)
