How do I find the SKU, serial numbers and product date code on my tool?
SKU
Every STANLEY® tool can be identified by SKU number. The best place to find this number is on the barcode label on the packaging, but if you don’t have this the SKU number can often also found on the product itself.
STANLEY hand tool, electronic hand tool, and storage product SKU codes are typically alphanumeric, starting XTHT, FMHT, STHT, or STST. For example XTHT0-33671. Occasionally these maybe just numeric, for example 0-20-244.
STANLEY power tool SKU codes are typically alphanumeric, starting FM. For example FMC645D2.
If you’re really struggling you can browse our web site to find the right product – you'll be able to find the SKU number within the detailed product page.
Serial Number
The Serial Number is unique to each tool and can often be found on the same label or near the SKU Number. It can consist of just numbers or a mixture of letters and numbers. In case you cannot find your serial number: please input your date of purchase e.g. 20062021.
Product Date Code
A date code is the year of manufacture followed by the week. It is an 8 digit code. Comprised of a 4 digit number followed by a 2 digit number, then another 2 digit number (which is sometimes alpha-numeric).
