Today's find,
I have an interesting multi-tool this company made but until this afternoon I never knew they made sockets

Hello, Sudsy. Nice find!! I see sockets with that label on occasion, but rarely a set or a box. Here is a link that shows some of their tools. Regards, Lou

Great link, that's more info then I've seen anywhere else
Also, now I finally know who made that odd little ratchet I have around here somewhere

I have at least three of those unusual ratchets and socket sets-was also wondering who might have been the mfgr.!!   A lot of other forums indicated that the ratchets might have been from Wright tool co. in ohio-but this most likely cinches that they were from N.Y.!

Looking for USA made ratchets-all sizes-drives and lengths  also S-K SuperKrome wrenches ditto.  Like to trade vs buy run it past me-nothing is cut in stone!

I'm not so sure that they manufactured any their own tools. Take that socket for instance, It looks very similar to an Oxwall socket.
