Snap on Oil Draining set from the mid 20s.  A hard set to complete

that set looked huge. than i noticed the 6 inch rule.

so what drive size is? the box looks to be about 12 or so inches wide so a little hard to get an idea. about what is the range of that set?

I think it is 1/2" drive Harlan. Unless SO had something like a 5/8" drive back in the day.

It looks very basic and functional, but very cool at the same time. It's almost hard to digest the progress that has been made in 100 years. Early 20th century tools have that phenomenal patina.
