Westcraft sockets

What was the quality of Westcraft sockets?

I found two of them in my SAE drawer - not sure quality matters since I hate SAE sizing but just for fun...

Westcraft was a Western Auto Store brand that was made by multiple suppliers, including Duro-Indestro, Vlchek and New Britain. Most if not all of the tools I have found have codes. D, V, and N. We have a decent thread on the topic with many examples. See the Index in the Sticky.

I'm pretty sure the fasteners on vintage American automobiles with Imperial size system hardware standards (which is not synonymous with nor confined to S.A.E., including A.L.A.M, U.S.S., American Std, and Cap Screws) are indifferent to your opinion on the matter.

Indestro made tools were good quality.
How do you feel about Whitworth and British Standard?

Westcraft was one of the lower price point lines of western auto. Wizard was the top line, but the westcraft was very good as well. The vast majority of their products were duro indestro. They sold bog stuff into the early 30s, then sk and duro indestro. Wizard, western giant, chromex, westcraft, westline, western auto were all brands they used. Towards the end they resorted to Taiwan stuff.
