Can anyone identify this wrench set?

If no brand name probably an import set?

W/O researching it, I think Sunex makes something close to that (Stubby Wrenches btw). Maybe pick one up from Amazon to fill in the blank.
(You guys are gonna scare off the new guy with all your help.)
EDIT: kinda close. $7 .....http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0076HLA18/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Geez guys...I understand they're nothing special since they don't say snap-on and require a mortgage to buy but I got em cheap at an estate sale along with a few Snap-on, Mac and SK sets of nice stuff and I didn't have a set of stubbys. It would be nice to fill in the blank if I knew where to find it. thank you Mohawk Dave for not being a tool snob right off the bat. Of course we all like nice things but this was part of what I got that day at the sale. Of course I know what the good stuff is so I'm not asking about it. It was just a simple question I had and this forum was the first thing I thought of when I had the question.
Something similar from a good company comes from GRIP--Grand Rapids Industrial. Nothing wrong with them for the rare occasion a stubby is needed.
These guys. They're good people. I have both sets but step my game up to the Flank Drive plus short patterns (oexm) if things get too serious.
Get a set. They're China but fine for the $. Good chrome, decent storage thingy. Not bad at all.

Thank you, that looks close.
Newbie question...you said you like flank drive plus oexm....I looked that up and I see that it has some extra grip on the contact surfaces of the wrench....does 'oexm' stand for short wrenches? One of the offset box wrench sets I got all say 'oexm' on them. Just trying to get more educated in the Snap-On world and am looking forward to understanding the difference between that and the companion tools I've been using. I sure hope I notice a difference. For those who wonder I am not a professional mechanic but do a lot with my tools at home. I was given a companion set out of college and so far it's worked out for me. I've never been compelled to spend the money on the pro brands but on the other hand I've never had an opportunity to try it. Until Monday the only snap on tool I owned was my torque wrench which I bought on ebay and it still cost what I consider to be a decent amount of money.
