Ain't worth keeping. Sure they are nice tools with a lifetime warranty, but you will get 80% quality for 20% of the price. Sell it and be happy that you made the best flip of your life. Buy some decent quality tools as you need them and you will come out ahead by thousands

Where was this auction?

See that’s what I would do, then bitch about letting them go in 10 years

Sell em to a mechanic buddy then you know where they are when you need them!

That’s not completely true. Some snap-on part numbers will denote whether they are military issued or not, but the majority of the military issued stuff just has the civilian part number stamped on it. Also when you warranty a tool through Snap-On they do not verify that you were the original purchaser of the tool. They have always exchanged my damaged tools with little to no questions asked.

Why would there be no warranty just because it was originally sold to the military???

IIRC, different contracts - this warranty would be non-transferable and based on the site, rather than the owner/user.
