Roddick "Wedge-pruf" Extractors any good?

Is this brand any good? Got these years ago in a machinist box, and finally need to use one of the bigger ones.

Was this a manufacturer or rebrand? I need to remove an Allen head set screw that's wallowed out. Regular low grade material, not the hard black machine screw type.

NOS so I included a pic of the advertisement.

I believe they were the original manufacturer.

Snap-on rebranded them.
The heat treated alloy inserts on the smaller sizes seem to hold up better than the modern one piece designs.
Certainly a quality product, but I consider all extractors to be a consumable.

My set got wet and succumbed to rust which damaged the splines. I would recommend oiling them to any owners who live in humid climates.

Cool, I wondered if anyone was going to post on this.
