Is this a mistamped snap-on wrench?
« on: October 21, 2011, 03:49:12 PM »
Got this at the pawnshop today.  Looks like it's mistamped.
I don't have any other snap-on wrenches to compare to. 
What do you think?

I'll bet that the wrench we're looking at made it out of the Snap-On factory in someones lunch pail. Snap-On QC would never have let that pass.

there might be little pieces of someone's finger in there.

It depends whose finger it is...

Hahaha!

Seriously, though, some people do collect "error" pieces...

I have had a Whitman and Barnes #2 with the 2 upside down on Papawswrench for a long while. I priced it at $40 to discourage a sales. Someone bought it just today at my asking price.
