In a pitch from last month, tekennedy expands on Snap-on as an emerging star. Here's an excerpt:

In the long term I believe emerging markets will catapult growth. The company has begun to move manufacturing to these areas helping establish a presence. As the average wealth grows within these countries the number of car sales (~70% of revenue is car related) should grow rapidly; due to the company's franchise model I believe the company is best positioned to grow within these areas. ... [S]hares have been beat down due to franchisee troubles and general automotive turmoil.
