Allen USA socket set

[taki]

I got this Allen USA socket set for cheap (see below - there are also a few extensions/spark plug sockets/handles/allen keys in the case cover). It seems practically unused. I can't find any information on these ratchets/sockets. They seem pretty nice quality. Any idea how old is this set?

IIRC the tri-wings like that were late 80-early 90's. Easco/Danaher made.

If I had to guess, I'd say 80s.
I have an Allen set here I've been trying to get rid of. Nice sockets.

I was thinking 90's

I don't know when they started but those ratchets were still available from Craftsman well into the 2000's.

Same ratchets branded Armstrong and NAPA also

^ Exactly. I'm still trying to unload a NAPA set that has that same ratchet in it.

Danaher made NAPA tools in the late 90's and 2000's I think, and I know Armstrong was being sold by NAPA after Danaher bought Armstrong and NAPA was branded on Armstrong tools
