Estes Snap-On Tools Rocket?
Here's one I saw on Craig's List.
This promotional starter kit was made for the Snap-On tool company.
I don't see what rockets have to do with hand tools.
It looks recent, like a stretch version of the current Athena model using the newer Estes slide-in fins and fin can.
At first I thought this model might use snap together parts (no glue). That is definitely the Snap-On tools logo.
The backside of the box shows a red plastic lightning bolt launcher and old style controller.
Rare, collectible? Who knows. I just found it interesting.

I think they have done Bachmann train sets too
ReplyDeleteHi Metal,
DeleteThey may have had a Bachman train set with Snap-On logos. I just found this interesting, I don't remember any of the major rocket companies producing "badged" kits like this before. Maybe they sell it through Snap-On dealers?
i have this kit, unopened
