If you have the return slip it doesn't cost anything to return it, and since the packing slip said qty 1, it was clearly an error. They are equipped to note on the packing slip when they send you an extra gift, it's already happened to me.
So, i'd return it, since it costs me nothing and it wasn't intended for me.

Ethically you give it back. Id probably keep it.. Although they might bill you later when they do an internal audit.

I had a dream. It was an incredible dream. When I awoke, I had a huge mess to clean up.

IIRC, it is pretty much established law in most every state that you are not required to pay for items that you are sent without your request. Unscrupulous publishers used to scam people this way, they'd start sending people magazines out of the blue and then after a few issues they'd send a bill demanding payment. Courts have ruled over and over that this is a scummy practice. It is perfectly legal for companies to send you stuff you did not order but they cannot demand payment.

That would only work if I had accidentally been shipped SOMEONE ELSE'S order.

A $16 tool would cost more to do anything with it. Phone calls, shipping, packing and unpacking, restocking, and data entry. I would be doing them a favor by keeping the $16 tool.
