Actually it was used quite a bit.  My main ratchet is 3/8", but I ended up with a bunch of 1/4" sockets for the small to medium stuff.  I need to switch to 3/8" sockets.

I'll get a Harbor Freight adapter this morning (I like the chrome-vanadium alloy) but I'm still looking for a vintage USA-made complete Craftsman set.

Then it sure looks like you got your money's worth. :thumb:

Time for you to make your itemized Xmas list and give it to Santa.  Your wife and kids will thank you for all the easy things to find.

Here's an interesting video, although it's a bit shaky and out of focus sometimes.    I skipped around and saw a lot of interesting stuff, especially supporting the idea that sometimes one manufacturer makes the tools for a LOT of companies ...
