I have so many questions on this!
Does the ratchet fit in there ok?
Does it just bang against the metal case? Is there any other filler or do the extensions and deeps just slide back and forth, again, into the metal case?
It says a 'snap-on' company. I have never seen this before, and it's a different font than what Snap-on usually uses, is this a common thing?
How's the ratchet?
How many teeth?
How's the back-swing?
how much was this set?
I'll answer best I can. The ratchet fits diagonally, and is low tooth count, and very crisp, which is what I like. I do not feel confident saying it has 40-ish teeth I think it's a lower count in the twenties Maybe but I'm not an expert on tooth count. The metal box is a mystery. I have found nothing on it in research. My belief is that this maybe was a limited edition vintage style box. Through research, I have found that this USA set was manufactured for one or two years around 2001 and 2002 and was only made in SAE. The sockets actually stay put due to a decent tight tolerance in their compartments they can move a little but there is a nice foam padding on the floor.
There is actually a set on eBay for $79ish but the sockets are on Accessory holders and there is no metal box. My cousin went to Indianapolis to view a set of Bahco USA combination wrenches and the craigslist seller showed him this as well he got both sets for $200. The combination wrenches were amazing quality and finish. Even in a Bahco USA tool roll. He sold me this set for $100. I can get a set on eBay for 80 bucks but the box is worth $20 to me.
it's possible the metal box was old stock in Flawless condition from the 80s or 90s but I still think it was some kind of vintage style limited thing. But then again I don't know, your guess is as good as mine. I Googled and found nothing no images no mention of a metal box. If you are interested in an eBay set just type "Bahco USA set" and only 7 results come up you will see them.
