Greyowl, that is correct for the 1/2 drive. The 3/8 has a similar knob, but it doesn't have a spinning grip.

Here's an example. Not mine.

They weren't cheap but most everybody had a Sears charge card so they could pay for them over time.

No charge cards for me but I did use the layaway option pretty heavily.

Sorry to say, but Elroy doesn't have any speeders to show ya. I can however advise, that early Craftsman (no part number), that are "V" stamped, were probably manufactured by "Velchek"
Sorry for the late response

For my 16th birthday in 1978 pop bought me a full set of CM 1/2" shallow sockets complete with the 32" sizes, 6" & 10" extensions, a wobble joint, break over, fine tooth ratchet, and a speeder. My speeder looks just like the one pictured.
You boys better hold on cause I'm gonna have to stand on it!

Speeders often come my way.  Just happen to have the 1/2 speeder Grey owl posted  and the brace drill that matches it.  Now I have to go digging  to see exactly what I have.
