Title: Small 1/4 " hex drive sockets
Post by: Charles Garrett on October 03, 2014, 01:31:18 PM

On Ebay there are 2 small 1/4 " hex drive socket sets in plastic pouches that are made in USA.   Who made them?  any date documentation like ads or catalog refs?

Chuck, we will need to have a link to the eBay listing.  We'll never find it otherwise.  Copy it and paste it into your reply.

Sorry not able to post pics. 1 was Labeled Socketeer and the other Western auto both in small plastic pouch.  I found them by looking for hex socket sets. I'm not very swift on this silly machine.

Not likely to find it, but wild guess would be duro/indestro, for the western auto set anyhow..

A search for "hex socket set" returns 5,640 results.  A search for "socketeer" reurns 4 results - all comic books.
Chuck, you don't have to post a photo.  Just highlight the eBay web address of the item, right click and choose "copy", then open a reply here and right click "paste".

Yes that's it .  It seems identical to the socketeer one.
