Maybe that rip-off should be renamed SNAP OFF

Nothing fake about that. Different Spoon. Honda Spoon is Japanese, their tools were made by Mac IIRC.

This Spoon looks like Tiawanese HF.

This looks interesting

a 45 degree flex air rat.

 

[G1GRANDEUR]

Nothing fake about that.

Are you sure about that?

 

[WR250F]

What makes you think it's fake Snap On ?

Could it be the OEM that produces SO products for import ?

 

[DanCo]

Are you sure about that?

Well that's as real as Pam Anderson's *****. Stop trolling Ebag for fake ****.

I don't see where that company is trying to rip off Snap-On.

None of their tools appear to be clones of Snap-On tools.

The most that can be said, is that their company logo has an "S" in it that looks a little bit like the stylized Snap-On "S".

Also, Spoon (The import tuner Honda parts company) is a legitimate, publicly traded company with a good reputation.

Those stupid fake disc brake cover things are not made by Spoon...That is someone's personal creation with a "Spoon" decal slapped on them.

Calm down, we know. Just messing around.

I really like the retchet wrench, perhaps it should be wretched

That's about it; they've used a similar font for their logo.

Quite clever really.

I'd love some real Spoon calipers for my Civic.

What is that tool?

 

[Octarine]

Digital templating tool. You run the stylus along the surface and it creates an accurate 3D CAD rendering of the item. Great for prototyping and creating aftermarket parts that will integrate perfectly with factory parts. Look up Faro arms.

 

[charle10]

Not sure what brand the tool he is using is, but it looks near identical to a Faro Arm portable CMM.

LOL, ya, you just never know, with this crowd

 

[G1GRANDEUR]

But, back to the topic.

Snap-on sell replica re-badged tools. We all know Asian companies like to copy original designs, no surprise there.

Even though their tools are nothing a like.

 

[rwhite692]

A marketing opportunity in the making:

 

[wreckercologist]

I was driving through town a while back and came across the "Snap" of the Snap-on logo on a building and thought "Kick ***! A Snap-on store!" Turns out it was a Snap fitness center or gym. BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

I hope the Kenosha Mafia's legal team bites them on the ***!

LOL.

Snap Fitness has been running ads and coupon deals in the regional mail out coupon books for close to ayear now.

I still surprised the copyright and trademark police have not clamped down on them yet.

At all those giving links to those foreign ones, I can't help but think about this old gem:

Ah ok. I've been around those tools before. We had to do reverse kinesmatics to get one working we dug out of another shops pile of broken equipment.

@puttsy: FTW! Honk if you love Justice!

@diesel: after the 200th recessed truck lugnut, you'll be praying for that tool

 

[Honda guy]

This looks interesting

a 45 degree flex air rat.

Snap-on used to sell a Blue Point flex ratchet vey similar to that. It was around the late 1980's to mid 1990's. I almost bought one.

@Octarine: You deserve a *high five* AND golf clap for that. Well played good sir, well played indeed.

 

[rwhite692]

LOL.

....still surprised the copyright and trademark police have not clamped down on them yet.

....For using a readily available typeface?

You really think they are trying to pull one over on Snap-On, in the fitness business? LOL

 

[BloodySinner]

Where are the fake Snap-on tools? The brand is called Spoon.

 

[dieselmike]

[ElectroLight]

Good thing we can still get the real Snap-On merchandise at Costco...LOL

I'm not - it's a block italicized font that, while slightly similar to Snap-on, isn't the same font.

The only people that get to trademark/copyright fonts are those that create them.
