Bondhus Wrench Replacement

The Bondhus Lifetime Guarantee works, as a replacement wrench just arrived:

Bondhus hex wrenches - 7-64 ball end - replacement
Bondhus hex wrenches – 7-64 ball end – replacement

A close look at the aligned tips suggests the defective wrench blank was mis-chucked in the machine cutting the ball end:

Bondhus hex wrenches - 7-64 ball end - replacement - detail
Bondhus hex wrenches – 7-64 ball end – replacement – detail

All’s well that ends well: thank you, Bondhus!

    So, despite coming from Amazon, Bondhus thinks it was genuine? Or are they just trying to protect the brand and this is the least bad option? Co-mingled inventory was the worst idea… I can’t trust anything there.

      Amazon is on the Bondhus list of online suppliers, I picked the “sold by Amazon” listing, the wrenches / packaging / plastic caddy looked Pretty Good™ to me, so they’re likely genuine. I wish we need not be so suspicious of Amazon, but that train left the station long ago.
