Is that a hole in the end of the knipex?

 

[JoeyMitch]

Yes.

 

[markitsnappy]

Do you have a pic of the ratchet showing the date code by the selector lever? You could compare to this chart in this thread:

There is no date stamp on the ratchet at all!!! Is there any other way to tell?

Nice finds! The other red pair of pliers looks like Klein.

 

[mvptrukin]

Look for it between the on and off in the selector lever well.

Yup they are Kleins!! Took some steel wool to find it but they are Kleins!!

I looked there but still nothing!! The 12mm allan socket doesn't have it either.

Turns out the black SnapOn is a distributor tool.

Don't know what to say, I started wrenching for a living in the '70's and every model SO ratchet purchased since then has had a date code in that spot! They eliminated the 'well' on newer versions but the date code remained in the same spot. That ratchet was sold from the '70's into the '80's. BTW SO website shows the kit for it.

Ok thank you very much. I have checked every single MiliMeter of that ratchet with a flashlight and magnifying glass...

 

[Toolman12]

Very nice score looks like there are lots to had if your willing to look

Those knipex are Oetigger pliers for Oetigger crimp style hose clamps. Great for fuel injection lines.
