3.3 Performance. A torque load of 800 inch-pounds shall be applied to the tool in a manner simulating the removal of a disposable oil filter. A piece of 3-inch inside diameter pipe (3-l/2-inch outside diameter) may be used in lieu of an oil filter in conducting the test. A dead weight of 100 pounds suspended 8 inches from the center of the pipe is the equivalent of 800 inch-pounds. Visual examination of the wrench shall show no evidence of damage or permanent deformation of the component.
3.4 Identification marking. The tool shall be marked with the
manufacturer’s name or identifying symbol and the state or country of
manufacture, unless otherwise specified. All identification markings shall be
engraved, etched, molded, or indented directly on the item’s surface in such a
manner that it remains clearly legible throughout the life of the item.

Paints, coatings, platings, and finishes shall be smooth, adherent, continuous, and not stained or discolored. External surfaces shall be free of tool and gouge marks, nicks, or other surface imperfections. The item shall be free from manufacturing workmanship defects (e.g., sharp or rough external edges, comers, or surfaces) and material workmanship defects (e.g., pits, rips, fins, burrs, tears, nodules, cracks, blisters) which may adversely impact the item’s serviceability, durability, safety, or appearance.
