I saw this eBay listing this morning, it is an older Syracuse wrench set in a finger jointed wood box. The attachments that are with this set are interesting. I don't recall seeing all of these attachments before with this style set.

Not mine just sharing the listing.

Is that a repair on the swivel socket?

I don't think it is repaired, I think the piece that is screwed on, on the left side is a spring to hold the socket into the U joint.

Nearly all the features other than the drill appear in the YALA wrench set ( http://books.google.com/books?id=2GY6AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA357&img=1&zoom=3&hl=en&sig=ACfU3U1gpDPHWwEzhcaYaNCjBS2RJWndZQ&ci=22%2C617%2C340%2C523&edge=0 ) as shown in a 1908 HORSELESS AGE ad among other resources one can find online.
