I think that Chaddles is correct considering what DieselSaves said about his A & B marked wrenches being from around 2002. So I guess the question now is when did they start making 'em in China instead of Taiwan... Are those "N" wrenches the first China run?
P.S. On a side note 3+ years later I...

As a side note concerning Amazon. They sell this $120,000.00 dollar tv which has garnered many fantastical reviews by people just telling outrageous stories concerning the ridiculous tv.
Their review policy states:
