I think thay you may likely be incorrect.

The original soft grip handles (1st generation) did not use teh snap-on logo on the handle that matched the std. wrench logo but use the modified logo that matches the stamping on the head with the dash you mention above . The current soft grips now use the standard wrench logo.

A pic of what the ebay was selling will clear this up quick tho.

That's how the logo is on soft grips:

While different, they are BOTH OEM Snap-On made soft grip handles . No patent infringements or copykats.

Thin logo is first gen. handle . Modern logo second gen.

I;ve got half a dozen of the 1st gen ratchets with that older style grip in my box now. Bought new. Off the truck. At full price. From a snap on driver. That had a pulse.

You should let your seller know how sorry you really are, and the no big deal remark is uncalled for IMO. Most sellers take the fb seriously.

Wrong. Huge deal. You made an assumption that turned out to be wrong. You called the guy out stating his merch. was cheap fakes and threatened a neg. feedback. Thats kind of a big deal. If I was this guy, I would tell you to take your bids and shove them up your..........and then spread the word to anyone I knew not to deal with you.
