Recent purchase.  The driver set is Allied International made in Japan.  The push drill is a Stanley 41Y.  The 8 inch adjustable is a Fuller made in Japan.  The 10 adjustable is a very recent Chinese tool. The needle nose pliers are West German and the chisel is Stanley ovoid handle with slight depression on each side.  The design of the handle is patented.

Nice drivers in metal box.  I use a Fuller 8" adjustable at work regularly, great for everyday use.

I have about 4 or 5 of those Stanley push drills. Several of mine are also marked BELL SYSTEM-B. I have seen quite a few of the phone company ones over the years. It's nice when you find good bits still in them. Some I have found the chrome plating is worn off down to the brass plating. All of mine attract a magnet, so they are steel under the brass plating. They are well made unlike some of the other knockoff brands I have.

I received a set of Fuller screwdrivers and a Fuller adjustable wrench as birthday gifts back when I was a teenager. My dad wanted me to have "decent" tools, but he wasn't ready to pay S&K prices for a kid. I still have (and use) the screwdrivers. Don't remember what happened to the wrench.

Dad gave me a set of Craftsman screwdrivers.  I still use them and carry the 4-way screwdriver that came with them on my keychain.

Yeah, the bits came in handy. I used this to drill a hole in the sheetrock for a small wall anchor.   Worked perfectly.
