Snap On Mis-stamped Flex Socket

[threewood]

I guess I learned to look at all the tools I purchase carefully, no matter how much they cost. I purchased 206FUA a couple weeks ago from the truck. Went to use the 1/2" and it didn't fit my fastener. Looked at it closely and it is a 7/16" stamped with the 1/2" part number

Gotta call my guy and see if he has a 1/2" to swap into my set.

THe bottom is correct the top is incorrect. They are multiple pieces that are combined during the final steps.

I'm sure that it was a situation where all of the previous ones were not removed because switching to the next size.

If it were a coin, a mis-stamp would make it more valuable. I am not sure there is a market for mis-stamped tools, but you never know....

I got in touch with the Snap On rep. He'll swap me out tomorrow. He's a pretty good guy.

Can you imagine the uproar if this was made in China?

Thats for the 1/2" fasteners that you've already kinda rounded off a bit.

Well, the beat goes on. When I went to swap it out somehow he thought I was talking about wrench. After turning the truck over looking for a 1/2" shallow flex socket and a few calls. Nothing in stock. So I'll call him this week and see what's up.

Success!
