>Does anybody know how Thorsen tools were distributed from a Retail sales perspective? Retail stores, authorized dealers, particular department stores?
Read the Alloy Artifacts info about Thorsen, they were tied closely to a distributor network, so closely in fact, that it nearly broke them in the early days....
Most of their sales were direct to end user via auto parts distributors, in the last few years , as they have shifted to 'international production', they seem to have been content with the bargain aisles at discount retail chains....
Thorsen seems to have missed out when the big 3 moved to tool truck sales direct to the customer, I dunno why, but it was a nearly fatal mistake...
