[Ben1967]

Was looking thru some of my overflow wrenches. I found these codes on this snap on wrench, what does it mean?

What codes? Are you talking about the part number or the engraving at the open end? the engraving is obviously done by a shop

Definitely not factory codes. Where'd you get the wrench; military surplus?

I have a few that have that exact same stamping on my snap on wrenches

Are you referring to the laser etching? The letters could be a previous owner's initials. The numbers might be there SS number, just cannot tell if there is a 9th digit.

Nice laser etching, but cannot understand why they'd put the numbers over top the 3/8 factory size marking. I suppose they had no room anywhere else.

Do you think its from the factory?

I would say it's highly unlikely.

Yeah, I have no idea what the deal is!

They might do different fonts, but I think your right it is that custom etching!
