1/4 Drive Sets

A couple of Brazil sets.

The Brazil sets are really cool. I really like the crinkle finish boh.

Those are cool, I've never heard of that company before either.

Brazil was made by SK as a companion line.

Blackhawk 19ND "Nuggies" set.

I think that this 9/32" drive set might have originally started out as an M-57 designated set due to the inclusion of the carb sockets. There is another carb socket in this set, but for some reason it was in my pocket when I took the pics...

I think for its age it's in pretty decent shape, but the set is missing a few pieces and the T-handle has a freakish break. The cool little ratchet has a '32 date code and all of the other pieces have '31 date codes.

1/4 set by Fleet Tools. They were a subsidiary of Proto and were their economy brand. They later became Challenger Tools.

That Fleet set is nice. Are any of the pieces actually marked as Fleet?

[Cruiser808]

Hi CRTDI - the only tool marked “Fleet” is the ratchet. All the others are only marked with a number and “Alloy”. But the reason I believe it’s an original set is that the socket numbers are sequential with the sizes up to 7/16.

Hey Cruiser, is that a thumbs up or a pile of dog crap I don't have that one in my smiley selection

[Cruiser808]

It’s a thumbs up my friend.
