1994 - 1997 "Blue point" Vise grips part number VP404 catalog picture needed.

Hi all, new to the site and may need to search the for sale ads later. But know i have a problem.

I sold a set of "Blue Point" "Vise Grips" sold to me by Snap On tools back in between 1995 and 1997 on ebay. The seller says I misrepresented the ad, because the tools were, and are in fact "Vice Grips" made by Irwin.

I purchased a massive starter kit before I left the Army and started wrenching in 1997. This was part of the kit. I would like to see if anyone has the catalog from that timeframe for vise grip set VP404. I did not misrepresent, but i understand his concern. He should actually be happy, because what I sold him was BRAND NEW in the BOX even, and they were made in the USA. New "Blue Point" Locking pliers are made in China, but have the Blue Point engraved on them.

Please help me out. THanks

The 95 and 97 cats. show the VP404 set as "Vice Grips" not blue point. I can post a pic if you would like.

Please do post. THank you so much. I just do not like being called a liar. This person did not understand the evolution of Snap on, and how they marketed tools until they developed their own brand.
