Hi mike, thanks for asking. I'll post a picture of what I'm talking about when I get home from work.
On some Proto Professional tools at the end of 'professional' there is an S laying on its side (hence why I call them lazy S. The best theory I've found is that this S was added when Stanley bought Proto (possibly because of warranty, no one knows for sure).
Why do want them? I worked in a diesel shop while I was in high school (shop sweeper, helper, gopher, parts chaser) I occasionally needed to borrow tools. The mechanics, naturally being a little touchy about loaning there various truck brand tools got together and bought me a small set of the basics, all Proto and gave it to me for Christmas. I really appreciated the tools but somehow over the last 30 odd years all I had left was about half of the combo wrenches. Now that my life has calmed down significantly I really want to try and put the set back together and expand on it.
