Anybody know anything about these?

They were in a tool box I bought at an Auction. All I have is what you see.

I am guessing there was a hexagon ratchet to go with them once upon a time. (Later I found the allen wrench setup shown in the third photo)

Yes, there was a recent thread about these. Try a search.

Hmmm, I did a search and nothing came back.

There was never anything spoken about this brand inpreticular.....a week or so ago we were discussing old military style tools that used hex style for reasons of keeping the tools around back in the day

Most of the early socket sets were the hex style drive. Most that I have seen are by Indestro.

I still have a full metric set made by Indestro sitting in my Kennedy brown box; I bought it in 1965 to work on my Yamaha motorcycle ... and I still have it .. but have not touched it in years.

I can't remember the name, but it had a red ratcheting hex handle. It was sold everywhere in the 60s, and used those sockets.

Anyone?

Here is a picture of the metric Indestro set ...

I remember seeing a few of those around when I was a kid. Seems to me they had a large allen wrench for a drive. Mostly in car tool sets, etc.

I'll take em off of you're hands if you wanna sell they look pretty cool and would be a great conversation piece. hmm I think they would look cool polished up

 

[trunk37]

Well I did some more digging and the set doesn't have a ratchet. There are two allen wrenches with ball detents and stops on both ends that are used to turn the sockets.

I just tossed several of those things.

The bit's of the sets that I have (gotta find them again), I was told belonged to old auto sets from the model T and A days (cars, not girls).
Gramps first garage was in the 20's and 30's.
