Unmarked snap on wrench?

[muddyjoe15]

This guy says this wrench is a military wrench. Says they dont stamp name on wrench, but is a snap on?! Is this true? Why would sanp on not put their name on something they make? I would think the military would use the black oxide?

ok my view coming from the military my self (us army) all our tools were marked in our motorpool, being that it makes no sense having all these tools with no markings then trying to find the one you need. so i advice you not to buy it...chances are that if you ask a snap on guy they will tell you its fake...even the truck that would come to our motorpool would have all the tools marked...

edit: we use chrome plated and oxidize but they will alway always have its markings

I would def keep an eye on it, i have a feeling that it wont stay that low for long.

 

[jose.olivo1]

nope it wont its going to be a 400 dollar plus item lol im no saying anymore

 

[jose.olivo1]

im watching other tools but there asking a bogus amount, i think i might get this also http://www.ebay.com/itm/27080332544...AX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_720wt_1163 just for home and to school

 

[muddyjoe15]

I would think eeven thats a little low. Im thinking more like 650, but then again im a bad guesser at this stuff.

Is the seller really saying it has no markings (presumably including no size markings)? If so seems highly unlikely. If it has no size markings I would suspect that it is a wrench that failed some QC inspection and was rejected before final markings were applied. Of course, one of the major QC checks would be jaw size, which is kinda important.

Who would want a wrench that wasn't marked with the size? Certainly who would want more that one of such wrenches.
