Who made these swivel sockets??
« on: April 24, 2019, 02:24:40 PM »
These plain steel sockets have numbers and sizes but no maker.  The numbers are 40618-9/16, 40622-11/16 and 40624-3/4".  My guess would be plomb, but that would only be a guess.  Any ideas.

The numbers correspond to older SK swivel sockets.

Took a quick look at a couple catalogs at the following link and Plomb appears to have used the same/similar 4 digit part numbers that continued into the Proto era. Doesn't rule Plomb out as the OEM but makes it less likely.

Their current part number is real close too. Just 6 point instead of 12.

Sure looks like the winner is S-K.  As mentioned, the same part # for a 6 point as my 12 point 11/16.
