Blackhawk sockets

[Ron_J]

Anyone know anything about these? My dad gave me a box of tools and there were a bunch of loose sockets and a breaker in there that didn't fit anything. Turns out they are Blackhawk 7/16" drive.

I put them on the shelf, just because I don't know what else to do with them.

No pics brother. But if you have a complete set and it's not destroyed it's a nice conversation piece. I can guarantee you someone here collects that stuff so if you're looking to get it gone it won't be an issue.

Turns out they are Blackhawk 7/16" drive.

Blackhawk called them Nuggets (and their 1/4-inch drive Nuggies). Half marketing ploy, half good idea (to split the diff between 3/8- and 1/2-inch drive and replace both of those sets with only one set). Launched in 1937 or so and then hit a snag in the 40's when the WPB deemed them redundant (to 3/8" and 1/2" drives!) and a waste of steel. Not sure how long they made them after the war.

Throw em on ebay. Very collectable

Definitely still being sold in 1947. I believe they continued into the early 50's.

Feel free to send them to me. Interested in a trade?

Thanks Don!

I can assure him that he would get an awesome deal. I'll give him 2x their reasonable value in other tools - gotta make some room!
