Those who know me know of my affinity for the black band metric sockets. They were made in the 70's and possibly into the 80's. Imagine my surprise when I found these at the swap - not because they are the black bands (although they do not turn up too often here) but because of where they were made - Canada. Same part numbers for the 6 point 14mm - FSM 141, 15mm FSM151 and 16mm FSM 161 as the ones made here but these bear the mark Canada.

Hi there i never thought that canadian sockets were rare? maybe not in the uk as to me there not as desireable because the ones i find dont have year marks but if i find anything saying snap on it gets bought i also have a f720 with made in canada is that unusual?

I don't know if they are rare everywhere but in southern California made in Canada and made in Mexico Snap-on almost never turn up.
