...just looking at it, five wrenches in a seven-slot plastic package? Does SO ever do this? Also, if it were gen-you-wine, wouldn't there be some cardboard around the corners?

Best regards,

honestly seems like I have seen sets like that sold before, but better wait for more to chime in.

Price doesn't seem too good on it... Must be Snap On.

The guy is selling 5 Snap-on wrenches and a plastic tray. He lists no part number for a set from Snap-on. I have never seen a 5pc wrench set sold in a 7pc tray. The cardboard you mention would be for the set that originally came in the tray.

Thanks Chad, perhaps I was reading too much into the ad. But I can't find anything like an SOEX705 "set", and the word "set" is what misled me. That and the plastic shrink wrap...

If I remember right, I think there have been sets like that sold off the truck but, they were with something else like a diecast truck or other piece of swag. The packing wasn't meant for individual sale so it wasn't marked as such. Of course, the seller could have a shrink wrap machine too but, those red plastic trays are pretty flimsy and hard to find new.

I have a shrink wrap machine. They are cheap. Dont ever let shrink wrap fool you.

He took two wrenches out,rewrapped it and called it unopened. Not a scam just not at all honest.

I thought I saw a set like that on my dealer's truck as well, and like you said, it was part of a promo package....

Snap-on has always had a 3/8" through 3/4" set and then a 3/8" through 1" set. They've never had a 3/8" through 5/8" set.
