I see that the seller has zero feedback. If you are pretty sure they're counterfeit, you should report the auction to eBay ASAP. I don't know how to tell if they are counterfeit myself.

I had not reported it because I couldn't find the originals. Thanks Jim Johnstone for cracking the case and both of you who reported it.

Creeps who do things like this ruin good things for everyone. What if some poor schmuck bought those tools, and then asked OUR opinion on how well he had done with his purchase. HE would be stunned and sick about it, WE would all be angry, and ALL of us would trust other sellers of tools EVERYWHERE just a little less. Everyone loses but the fraudster.

He listed in the description part numbers for Snap On... they are so different you couldn't even pass them as a Snap On...

WOW. I heard about the fake snap on stuff coming from china, but this is just ridiculous. Goes to show you always be careful buying stuff on ebay, this one is obvious but others might not be as obvious (as in less distinct tools such as screwdrivers)

They pulled the auctions and I missed it. Did they say Snap-On on the hammers or case, or was he just saying they were Snap-On?

They were $30 Princess Auto hammer sets, with yellow fiberglass handles and red Snap-on decals on the shaft. The descriptions were copied from the Snap-on 2007BFB set and the Buy It Now price was set between $500 and $650 depending on the auction. The real set from Snap-on is only $510!
