Great information skin. Very helpful. I do admit that I am picky about tools. I mean, most of the people on this forum must be, given that it is a forum about garages and tools. Here in Australia, the little SOEXRM10 retails for about AUD$55. To give some comparison, an equivalent...

Nice work AJ. Looks so nice, I'd be afraid to beat on it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you look in the open end, you'll see that the old wrench is finished nicer - it's ground and polished to a higher standard. On the new one, the open end looks like it was finished by a lazy dude at the end of his Friday shift. Not a big deal and it doesn't affect use, but for the price, I...

I've attached three pictures: the first is the snap on side - note the top wrench is the ROE from a set that I bought in about 2003; the bottom one is the ratcheting wrench I bought this morning from a Snap On truck. Note that the old one is stamped USA, and the new one is not. the second is...

Back in the 90's early 00's, when Snap On had the nice red hard handle screw drivers, Snap On meant 'made-in-USA' and anything that wasn't made in the USA or made by a third party was branded blue point. I've got early 00's SOEX flank drive plus wrench set which is stamped snap on USA...
