Year marks for SO & BP tools

[MachineTech]

Has anyone got a copy of the year codes for Snap-on & Blue Point tools from 2000 to present? I have a copy that goes from 1927-1999.

Also, I have several vintage SO ratchets that all have year marks with the exception of one 3/8 drive. I know the mark has not worn off because the ratchet is in excelent condition with only minor scuffs on the chrome...the year mark is simply not present. Does anyone know why or if only certain ratchets had year marks?

If you post some pics here of the items without date codes; chad s and some of the other Snapon vintage tool fanatics may be able to help id them. http://www.alloy-artifacts.com/ is a good visual resource as well!

I will bring it home to do that. I keep them in my box at work because it's enviromentally controlled there...no temp changes and very low humidity = no rust. I looked at the site you gave and the years it could belong to are many...thanks.

Man do I wish my workplace was "environmentally controlled!" Florida is a terrible place for automotive work... can't wait to go back to NY.
