I received a tool kit today that I won on ebay, a Snap-On TF-5 double flaring tool kit. The problem is, other than the red snap on case, I don't believe the contents of the kit are truely Snap-On. The first obvious clue was that the flaring bar is stamped "general mfg co." Secondly, the rest of the pieces, flaring screw, handle, and 5 bits all have no marking. I believe snap on stamps their logo on all of their tools, so I don't know what to make of these pieces with no markings. Other than the case, the only part in the kit that is actually marked snap on, is a bit marked "snap on CJ131-6", which doesn't even belong in this kit. When I researched it, it actually belongs to a snap on steering wheel puller kit. So, it appears that all I bought was a snap on case. Before I file a complaint with the seller, what I am asking of the GJB is if anyone has the TF-5 kit, could you please check to see if all or any of the contents are actually marked "snap on"? Thanks in advance for your time and help. :shocking:

to my knowledge.....which is limited
snap on does not make them, they are made for snap on....
whan stuff is made for snap on they have the company stamp or mark it snap on or it may have no marking.
sounds like the kit is SO but at least one of the parts is not
