I have seen the ratchets a few times but never the set. Very nice!

Those ratchets will outlast civilization I think.

I have ended up with incomplete 1/4" sets in boxes but have never bought a new one in the box. Since a 9/32 set was shown here is my Craftsman midget set. This came in an old MAC MB65 box I bought. I am still looking for the C-95 6" extension.

1/4" -- I love vintage SK -- these sets were both in Metric and SAE

DeadNutz if I ever find the extension I will make sure you get it.

Snaparxon you look very well prepared.

GF do you have both metric and standard?

Yes, I picked them up as a set back in the late 70's. Back then they were sold by my local "mom 'n pop" auto parts store

I well recall when you could get really quality tools at the mom and pop parts stores and just about all of them carried SK. But then you could get quality help and qulaity parts in those stores...

Husky 1/4 set. What attracted me to this was the New Briton made ratchet.I really like these ratchets and believe they are very high quality pieces.

The Kilness was a great design.

Here's mine, simple Craftsman.  I like the molded case, easy to see the socket sizes.

+1 -- very nice set. That would be worth a lot -- prices for RHFT sets on ebay are getting ridiculous.

I suppose you could call this a set. These are some Plomb drivers and sockets on a highly modified Plomb display board. I believe they are circa 1946 - 1948.
