These started life as 71A ratchets. not in the reg cats, show up in the 37 industrial cat which shows five,  the 37 supplementary cat shows ten sizes 1/2 thru 1-1/8..
shown in the pics.  7124 3/4, 7122  11/16, 7116  1/2.  they are hard to find.

Wow! How old are those wrenches? I have ratcheting boxockets going back to what I thought was the beginning (early 60's?) but nothing that looks like that. I did have a model 71 ratchet once upon a time but that got stolen in the second burglary.

I can see why Snap-On came up with detachable sockets, as a full set of those things would weigh a ton!  :-\

Nice little collection, though.  :great:

interesting they have a selector switch on them. Would of been real easy to leave that off. Been a lot cheaper to build and much less bulky too.
