Mismarked Tools...

[mattygee]

I've had this wrench for 20+ years... didn't notice it when I bought it. Hard to tell in a photo but sizes are on the wrong end.

That's what happens when you buy cheap tools.

The 1/32 difference is hard to see in the photo, but that's pretty funny.

Since when is a snap-on wrench cheap? I have about $10,000 in snap-on wrenches. I didnt get that memo. If its honestly missmarked snap-on will make good on it. Even if its older.

I've got a 1/4" deep Craftsman socket that's mislabeled 9/32 when it's actually 5/32.

I've got a Herbrand 3/8 drive 13/16 socket that has both the model # and size double stamped.

I have a 1/2" Snap-on impact socket stamped 9/16".

I have a 1/2" craftsman ratchet with double stamped lettering. It looks 3-D.

I had a sk wrench with the swivel socket end, whatever you call those things, It was a 12mm but had a 11mm socket on it. They replaced it and the new one has the socket marked so it must have happened a time or two before.

I would imagine you could warranty that out. It would drive my OCD up the wall and Back!

I've seen it on Cman stuff but yet to see it on truck brands.

I think the cheap tools comment was a joke.

I would never warranty that personally. It would become wall art. My 2 pennies.

A Snap-on wrench is really, really cheap in sarcasmland, methinks.

It's like a stamp printed upside down. Rare, so super valuable.

Yeah worth about 46 cents. Lol

I have a socket that is marked both Proto and P&C.

Gort.

I have an adjustable wrench marked SAE but it is really metric. Gets me every time I reach for it.

Use your left hand next time, its self correcting.

You your left hand next time, its self correcting.

I almost always do (I'm left handed). It ***** though because finding left handed hammers is really challenging.

I got a similar issue with this polish framing hammer, everytime I go to drive a nail that pos leaves two deep marks in the wood on either side of the nail. Its freaking mind boggling.

Someone here had a Craftsman wrench (or ratchet? I can't remember) where the name was printed on the reserve side as normal, and the FORGED IN USA was on the other side. Doesn't really matter - it's a wrench.

 

[Jarhead0408]

I've got a Craftsman socket that is stamped twice. Sort of on top of each other.

Exactly. It's like opening a case of beer and finding a capped bottle that's empty. You can't throw it out - you put it behind your bar with the rest of them.

Here's my contribution. It's a Mastercraft (Gray) wrench that wasn't marked at all. It's a hand me down from my Dad. I remember him using a punch to mark out the size.
