Default Re: Imperial magazine tool ID ( long )

Roger, The best way I have found to detect fake tools is to measure the thickness with a dial caliper. Take one of your originals and see how close the thickness matches the one you suspect. It should match it to a couple of thousands if original. The knockoffs tend to be too thick. This is not an absolutely sure test but it is quick and easy. I do not have all my things together to give you measurements. Maybe later...Jerry
