I just dug a set of craftsmen sockets out of a car that's heading for
crushing. It's a 76, they've been there the whole time, I think. The
ratchet handle is junk, it's got about 15 teeth. The sockets, though,
are nicer than my recent (well, 10 years or so) craftsmen stuff.
Thinner walls, better chrome.
