Default Snap-on tool year guide

Thought this might be interesting to those who haven't seen or know about it. Snap-on stamps all their handtools with a year date to identify when it was made.

I've used it several times to identify when a tool was made. There's a flea market about 30 minutes from where I live that has a booth that only sells Snap-on stuff for about 50% off. However, all of it is about 20 years old. Never been used though, it must have been surplus.

Here is the chart:


Host is down right now, so here's another link.

Huh, I'll have to check. I have some really old Snap-On stuff from my grandfather. They were in a toolchest that was made in the mid 60s.

Shamrock,

Where would this flea market be at? I'm local, but don't know any of the local flea markets. Thanks.
