Atlas snow blowers were in production in the early to mid 1970s, but are no longer available. Some models may be for sale or display with vintage equipment sellers and collectors. Some models, such as the 5 HP single stage and the 3 HP model, were sold by True Value hardware stores under their TRU-TEST brand and not under the Atlas name. The brand was eventually acquired by the Modern Tool and Die Company (MTD).
