Smokeshow69 recently alerted me of this nearly complete mfd era metric set that was for sale. It has no skips from 8-17mm and a Proto Professional 6mm. All the sockets seem to have seen very little use
I made a few additions to my library with these supplements that showed up today from an ebay seller.
The price list is number 5006 and has a note on it saying “approx 10% increase. New price lists on the way in. Jon”
