Awesome.

Is the square there?

 

[gdocktor3]

And someone, somewhere would probably buy that for $500 on eBay..

 

[jakemac]

The SK chrome haters would still deny that anyone else has quality control issues.
It's a Chinese fake to impugn the reputation of the worlds best quality brand


Does this add to the value, like a mis-printed stamp ?

 

[The Tool Tyrant]

Hey! I have a 12 point ratchet that will fit it perfectly!

 

[four.cycle]

So.... does the end of the socket on which the name and size are stamped affect the socket's ability to hold onto a nut or bolt?

If that had been an S-K socket, this thread would already be 19 pages long.

Lol, and that's exactly why I bought it[emoji16]

[johninct]

Is that a valve adjuster socket?

 

[bczygan]

Is that a new universal?

 

[BearCuda]

Nope, just a 12 point 17mm

I have an old craftsman chrome edge tap and die set from at least 30 or 40 years ago. Went to use the 1/2-28 die, and it didn't have any threads cut into it. Briefly considered trying to warranty it.

 

[laser3kw]

Nope, just a 12 point 17mm

even weirder I don't think I've ran across a fastener with a 17mm
head.
I'm sure it fits something.

 

[tvtaurus]

So is this socket just blemished?

 

[Thirdyfivepickup]

guess Im not enough of a tool nerd to get this...

 

[doorfx]

The socket is inverted. The 12 points you see should be at the other end.

Seriously??? That is a VERY common size. I use it most for oil changes on any of our 3 cars, Volvo, BMW, Subaru.

 

[T45]

show us the square drive ! does it actually work??

 

[Lotek]

It's Snap-On, of course it works. Though I'm kind of surprised that the dealer would sell it.

I am guessing it was part of a set and the dealer had no reason to check it,,,,,,,or so he thought

Seriously!

 

[454ragtop]

Seriously!

Weird, very very common on Japanese cars. 10,12,14,17,19 fits probably 90% of Toyotas, Hondas, Nissans, etc.

well there's your problem.... I haven't had the opportunity to work on any of them! No prejudice, just never had one.

QC was on a potty break... Taking care of other ****.

ahhhhh... I dont own any snapon sockets so I see now what you're talking about

 

[Codejack]

Heh, yea, you can always tell the American-only car guys...

Hope you aren't buying a new one

 

[jdlong]

That is a caliper bolt socket for behind the steering knuckle

 

[JohnDeere1]

I have a 1/4 SK swivel impact socket with 2 of the rings that hold the pin in on it and a 1/4 Snap on industrial finish socket that isn't stamped or broached but does have the square drive it came in my 1/4 master set lol.

 

[oldtools]

It is their thin wall version.

 

[visionguru]

It's a brand new sealed 212FSMY set. The 15mm is a 12pt.

Snap On should get better vision insurance plans for their employees.

not tied to "American only"....
I have to correct my statement - I did own a new Nissian in 1992 - never had to work on it much.

AND since January, We are the proud owner of a 2005 Toyota Sienna - haven't had to work on it- yet!

He actually gave it to me since it was a freak of nature.

Your Toyota Sienna is an American made vehicle. Made in Indiana, if I'm not mistaken.

Now if you'd have said you have a good old American pickup truck like a
Chevy Silverado, then I'd agree that you don't have an American vehicle
