    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

          Click on the picture to get a bigger view. Arguably the numbers on the wrench on the top left could have a faint tail and be 16, not 10mm as some people here seem to think. I'd give the benefit of doubt to the number being a 6 for 16mm which would be in the right perspective and order.

          But there's no mistaking the marking on the 5/16" wrench on the bottom right, and that wrench being larger than the 5/8" wrench right next to it .

          How do they do these things?

              what I'd like to know - is that an actual picture of a real set that's really screwed up like that or maybe they rushed a picture of a mislabeled prototype to make a deadline or did they somehow mangle a photoshop edit on the picture?

                The mm numbers are really fuzzy on my screen, I missed the two wrenches marked 10mm and of different physical sizes.

                  The item on their website allows magnification, and shows the same error; looks like a genuine product photograph, so there must exist at least one set with a 11/16 wrench marked as 11/16!

                  Nice catch btw, Loring!
