wright socket set
« on: January 15, 2013, 04:50:31 PM »
 Anyone know what this set consisted of ? Since previous owner kept all the sockets together I doubt he lost anything but wondered if breaker was included. Has 62 date code on all parts.
 present inventory
3400 ratchet
3402 extension
3403 extension
3112,3114,3116,3118,3120.3122,and 3124 sockets (3/8-3/4)
wish it was 6 point but since cost was less than $5 I guess I shoudn't complain. Not in bad shape for its age.

Isn't Wright still in business?  If so, you could probably write them for the original inventory.
Five bucks?  You'd probably be hard pressed to get the rat alone for that.

Looks complete to me, but it could be missing a spark plug socket.

 Right you are Eddie. Had another Wright socket in box when I got it at auction. Box didn't seem to shut correctly so I set it aside. Turns out it is Wright 3626 with same 62 date code. 13/16 size. when properly placed it fits in metal case and completes set. No room for breaker bar now. Thank you for waking me up.

Excellent. Now you can sell the set to me for $10...

There's an old craftsman socket/ratchet set at an antique store I visit.
Its usually my last stop on flea market day and my pockets are always empty.
They want $25 for it, but I could talk em down (she loves talking football)
to probably $20.

I bought my ½ set from the wholesale distributor's salesman in 1963 for around 23 of the real dollars, not Federal Reserve Dollar bills. 

I still have the box and most of the sockets along with the ratchet.
Mine came with a 5" & 10" extensions, no breaker bar.
Wright offered a choice of breaker bar or 10" extension.
Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance!

Got another piece for a companion for my socket set. This stud remover was made in 1952 and has a 22287069 patent. Still have 5 of the 2 3/8 wright combos left. May have to start collecting Wright tools. Gave yougest son a 1/2 impact socket set by Wright because prior owner lost a socket and substituted a none Wright socket for it. That made it a wrong.
