Proto Wrench Found in Video Game

As you can see, we spotted an adjustable wrench in a video game and promptly took a screenshot. It is not unusual for video game designers to add tools and other everyday items to scenes for added realism. What is unusual about this wrench is that the designers of Fear2 labeled it a Proto 708S – a real designation.

This may not be the first instance where real brands and product numbers were used, but it’s the first that we’ve been made aware of. If you come across a similar instance in a video game or similar unexpected place, let us know – we’d love to hear about it!

    Thank you for the heads-up. We’re not quite sure what’s going on; Stanley’s site seems to be acting odd today – the search doesn’t work, and other links are apparently broken as well.

    I swapped the link for another one which should work. If it still does not work, try a google or google-image search for Proto 708S or J708S.
