If 1/4" drive ratchet 91011, it's 60 teeth.
I have that set - full 1/4 drive range shallow and deep and both fractional and metric.

that's the rebadged Gearwrench set NAPA sold before moving to Carlyle. Standard Chinese made 60 tooth ratchet. Great set for $26 plus shipping from Cripe.

exactly Fedwrench.
They are not in any way "old" they were just phased out when NAPA changed to Carlysle naming.
Amd that was 18 months ago when I got the set new for far less than 40% off markdown and $100 new price from NAPA. At the store.
It's a great set. with a lifetime warranty.

I have both 1/4 and 3/8 set. They are my main users right now. I love the look and feel. I really really really wish there was a 1/2 set...

Ditto, only I bought 'em to put in the truck for travelling. 1/4" from Cripes and 3/8" from Southern Tool, both for ridiculously low $$$. Very pleased so far with the quality.

The set just arrived and it's excellent for the money!
I'll post a picture filled review when I can.

Update and review:
First- I don't care about the COO because the set is really nice. I buy USA when I can and have more Channellocks than I'll ever need, but sometimes I take a chance. This was worthwhile.
There are no inconsistencies in the chrome, all pieces are good inside and out- including the ratchet guts (very simple and the pawl has like 10-12 teeth that engage, so it's solid. The factory left it relatively dry, so I added super lube.
The extensions don't wobble, but have enough play in them for regular tasks and the universal joint is standard, nothing fancy.
The sockets are excellent, go from 4-15 and 3/16-9/16 with no skips. There are a few .5 sizes /32's. The included 1/4, 5/16 and 3/8 allen sockets are nice, but I use 5/32 and 3/16 constantly, so they may not see much use. The included torx sockets are 10, 15 and 20- much more appropriate for what I do and a great addition.
The ratchet is very nice and the head is thin compared to something like a Craftsman RP. I tried it on a solid 9/16 bolt with no skips, although (IMO), anything above 12 or 1/2 could be too much for this one's short handle. No auto-reversing or locking up. I may hunt down a 3/8 on ebay to see if I get similar performance.
The case is not oversized and doesn't waste space except for around the allen/torx sockets. They could have included more or a palm ratchet in that space. There is a hair of extra room around the ratchet and extensions that could have housed a breaker bar as well, but doing that without enlarging the case would have made the handle less comfortable.
The case is definitely a GearWrench clone, but doesn't have the same-side hinges like GW's do so the lid can be removed for placement in a chest drawer.
The only thing I found odd was that the shallow sockets were cut a bit deeper in the well than the deep ones were (see pictures).
Overall, I'd give it a 9.5 out of 10. No item will truly be perfect and my additional item requests are just suggestions, not necessities that are dealbreakers.
If I didn't intend on using this at work for a truly complete set, it would absolutely suffice at home and can handle anything a weekend warrior will throw at it. The pro wrench's may have a different opinion ;-)

I have anold evercraft set, good set, not quite the quality you describe though, they did a nice job making this into a a grab box and go to a project, the evercraft doesnt have hex or torx.....or the 9/16ths....good set, really eyeing one of these ones up though.

I got this one for $26 from cripe on ebay- not bad at all and for grab-n-go, it easily fits inside an open top bag or a taller box in a modular setup.
