The United States Air Force Test Center/Directorate of Contracting (AFTC/PZZG), located at 5 S.

If a third-party vendor acquires off-the-shelf tools and subsequently etches them, it alters the metallurgical integrity and voids the original manufacturer's lifetime warranty. Factory-level etching by Snap-on ensures warranty retention.
2. FOD Compliance - Etching must not create stress risers in the tool steel or produce metallic micro-shavings that ...
