Alright so I saw the threads about NASA tools and got intrigued! So i've been looking for a few weeks and found one. So do you guy's think it's the real deal? Thanks!
Just got a NASA wrench, is it real?

Yea, that is one of the threads I read, but it never gave a definitive answer. I don't believe those made in taiwan ones are real, but if nasa sells everything at auction why couldn't my wrench be? The fact that it is 6 point and a different open end added to my thoughts that it could be real

My concern would be this...you don't see USAF tools, or US Navy tools, why would NASA have their own? There have been multiple threads pertaining to Giller and ProAmerica tools as being some that are used by branches of the armed forces. That's not to say that the wrench isn't real, but it seems implausible to me.
Sure it's real. Is it associated with the Space Agency? Doubt it:
The road show wouldn't be interested in it

As previously stated, there is a taiwan nasa tool company apparently, just because you have a picture of a "nasa" screwdriver, the wrench doesn't have the company style logo like that driver either. I'm not saying mine is real, as in an authentic nasa space tool, but I definitely don't think you have proven otherwise.

Can't you just call someone at NASA and ask them? I would if I had it.

I asked using that link, i'll let you know if I get a response, thanks! Also, found a link, looks like Nasa will get tools made for them when need be, and will also modify stuff from hardware stores (as of 2005) http://www.nasa.gov/returntoflight/crew/RTF-Tools.html
