Snap-on angle wrenches too small

[finallyflying]

I bought a set of Snap On vintage open end angle wrenches with a 1967 date code on Ebay. Nearly all of them are just a hair too small for the size markings, for example 7/16” wrench won’t quite fit onto a 7/16” bolt/nut and so on.

Has anyone else run into this? I’m actually wondering if they’re counterfeit?

Mine are ok

I found the need to hammer on many a snap-on product. They are too tight in my opinion. I think .008” over nominal is ideal. Are the nuts rusty?

Not rusty, and I’ve literally tried nuts/bolts from my car to the kitchen sink and everything in between. A few of them fit fine (albeit a bit snug), but some won’t fit at all.

Post photos of the wrenches.

Lifetime warranty, take them back to snapon

To the original owner…

I’m not saying that they won’t warranty them… but 1967 wrenches off EBAY…

I've never run into this issue with Snap-On tools through all the decades of using them at home or at work. Something sounds off but unless we see some pictures there's not much more we can help with.

Maybe the OP took an angle grinder and widened the openings. I've seen that done before.
