Just bought these snap on wrenches of eBay, but the description won’t say if they are the short or the regular length size. Sorry the picture is all I got.Of course I bought them already assuming they are the standard length.

They look like the shorter versions. If so, the seller used the wrong part number in their title/description so you would be justified in a return.

Says exactly what they are: 10 pc 12-Point SAE Flank Drive® Standard Combination Wrench Set (5/16-7/8") (OEX710).

They're standard length wrenches. Photos match the set.

The shorter version in SAE has the 0 behind the part number. In metric it's the opposite.

Awesome they just look small in the pic

Those are short metric wrenches.

In the other pictures that were in the auction/ad, you can see the part numbers for the wrenches clearly. Use those at Snap-on website, and they are the short version.

Regardless, they are nice tools that will provide good use.

Do you have a picture of the actual item you bid on?
Can you enlarge to see markings on the wrenches?

I assume you are looking for metric wrenches and not SAE


Retail is $413

Edit:
Looks like the description in the listing was wrong! You can open a case with eBay...or just keep them if you think you’ll use them.

I’ve lived through a fight with an eBay seller over item not as described. It was so much time and mental energy with back and forth emails and broken promises and delays to recover $100 that I regret doing it.

If you receive those wrenches and don’t want them, put them up for sale on GJ and get more than half of your money back by selling them for $100

Here is a clear screenshot of that listing.

Clearly metric wrenches.

I lifted part of the description from the seller’s listing page.
Sounds like he’s trying to be honest, but I object a bit to his statement that real mechanics can’t have good looking tools.

....................................................................................................

Please look at the pictures for condition, scratches, dents, dings, blood sweat and tears. They may or may not be there. Unless I point things out, they are in nice clean but used shape. If a tool does not have a scratch, you ain't a real mechanic... They are used by professional mechanics. If you want perfect tools please go to the truck... Most of them have a scratch too!


I try to price fair. If you think I'm wrong for the condition of the item I'm selling send me an offer. I WILL DECLINE ANY LOW OFFERS OR INSULTING OFFERS. I DONT HAVE TO SELL THAT BAD��

Wow! 20 minutes and the problem is solved. My problem took over 20 DAYS to resolve. You’re lucky. :beer:

Ebay has gotten to the point where the seller is always wrong no matter what. If you don't get an immediate refund, just open a case and you are guarnateed to win.
