    Don't know what it's worth, but I'm interested to see what you'll get on e-bay. I have the same tester (60's version) and although I'm not selling it, I'd like to know the price.

    Odd sizes...the 32nds. Where were they ever used?

    Older cars, trucks, planes and other industrial machinery used to have these sizes. In many cases, they also used odd 64th sizes as well -- Their "heyday" was in military designs and specifications, because equipment made with these fasteners could not be readily repaired, reused and scavanged...

    Which tools will you NEVER buy from Snap-On

    Anything that's rebadged from other manufacturers. Such as Lisle, or Kastar for rethreading kits. It's highway robbery -- they just slap on the Snap-on logo and charge twice the price.

    Old made in Japan set

    Why Pay More For Less?

    I have them, and I can appreciate those ratchets when I'm on my back, upside down, and brackets under the dash are diggin' into my forearm. In those situations that 1/4" sure feels right!!!
