Date Code for Snap-On Torque Wrench?

[oatmeal769]

I have a Snap-On QD3R250. I have looked in all the usual places - by the model number, under the selector switch, etc. I can't find a date code anywhere. Can anyone help with dating this thing?

Just a guess, but since it's probably made by CDI (except the head) it may not have a Snap on date code?

for what? calibration? if so, just send it in and start date from there.

Just wondering when it was made. The original date stamped on the case is torn/rubbed off. I can tell that it says 201? So I know it's made in at least 2010.

Mine has a sticker on the box. I'm way past-due to recalibrate, but I rationalize it that I'm just an occasional user... (bad idea?)

This post also made me wonder if there's a "Show your Torque Wrench" thread, and there doesn't appear to be one...

I think they use part of the serial number as the date code. What's the first couple digits?

YOU ARE RIGHT!
The sticker is badly faded and rubbed off. But, I can make out, "Manufacture Date" and then MAY. There is a slash and a zero and a one!

I thought the slash was a TWO! but on really close inspection, it's gotta be a slash. I was thinking it said 201? but, if the serial number is right, that would make it, "May /01"

Thank You!!
