An unusual pick but a low p/e. With a tight financial market the one thing people do is drive older cars. These dinosaurs have to be fixed so the industry leader in tool suppliers for the everyday mechanic will show strong growth until the market rebounds enough to stimulate new car purchases.

Already a leader in the market for professionals, the lack of strong industry player in China will propel this stock to the top.

Good turnaround story. They have cut much of the fat out of their business model and are concentrating on what they do best. Selling tools and diagnostic equipment to everyone except individuals. Strong risk reward profile on this stock.

Will outperform. Snap on is the best when it comes to tools. If the company is ran right it should always stay on top.

These two features have helped their respective segments, the Snap-on tools group and the Commercial and Industrial group to become the major contributors of revenue. Endorsing the same, its revenues surged 4% during nine months ended September 2006, on account of enhanced demand from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) catering to snap-on tools.

Dividend paying stock. Boring business. HUGE customer brand loyalty. Increasing demand for technicians, who buy SNA's products.
