    Whats the point?
    If you are a professional mechanic then buy new Snap-on off the van and claim back the Vat.
    If you aren't a pro why would you buy snap-on second hand? Bluepoint is the lower grade of Snap-on that is 90 percent as good.
    There are plenty of good brands now that are a fraction of that price for equivalent quality.
    Britool, Facom, Stahlwille etc etc
    The only thing that Snap-on has is the lifetime guarantee.
    Is it your site Jetski?

    Could do with a wipe of a rag but other than that every key is in perfect working order. no rounded edges ect.

    for €49 I would expect the seller to at least clean the items before selling!

    I bought a new set of snap on allen keys for around 30 euro a few years back. Those prices are way over priced for used tools. Have a look at ebay, good value on some items there
