and work done at those plants will shift to remaining plants in Milwaukee and Johnson City, Tenn
Where's the Mexico / China / India connection in this? With automakers outsourcing more work to India, I would expect SnapOn to open a facility near those plants.

The continued decline of American manufacturing capacity and ability. A couple of generations of this kind of decline will leave us a Nation of service idiots.

Snap-On is probably best known for selling their high quality products directly to the skilled workforce who use them. The fleet of Snap-On "Tool Trucks" visit factories on a regular basis so workers may conveniently make their purchases.
I doubt that this marketing approach would work in either Mexico, China or India since it is unlikely that manufactureres pay their workers enough to be able to purchase their own high quality tools.
