Name that company logo 1985 edition

My first thought was Sun Instruments, but I can't find a matching logo.
Can you name this contingency sponsor - 1985-1986 time frame?


This is the best examples I could find after ~30 minutes of searching.

Back in the 70's every street hot rod had to have a Sun Tach.

Back in the day, those tachs were considered on the big side. Then Autometer made their tach with the rev limit light.

Looks like a Corvette Challenge car from around 88.
Found it. Snapon tools.

Jay beat me while I was searching.
