I'm curious about those! No clicks? Is there back drag?

No clicks. They use a type of sprag clutch. Back drag is lower than any of my other ratchets.
At least the one of the sockets is dated 1983.

Based upon what marking?
HD is only showing 1/4 and 3/8 drive available,no 1/2. Are those the drive sizes you got?

There are date code charts all over the internet....This socket was made in 2001 for example based on the > stamp.
Great snips, I have about 6 pairs of different flush cutters and I grab these ones more than any other.
Another anomaly with Snap-on sockets, They started stamping upside down with the change in the Snap-on script & the part number font. This was a rolling change that took the better part of a decade.....@ '85-'95.
Yes sir I don't use much 1/2" so I just have the one Snappy classic and whatever came with socket sets

Had a couple surprise packages waiting on me today. I really appreciate these things. I’m especially pumped about the pinless impact swivels. Something that I’ve been wanting for a long while. I love them. Those are from our member @spasm3. I truly thank you for these tools. They will help me out greatly with the things I work on. It’s nice to have a complete set of them too. Before I had just borrowed them or gotten by with a universal joint and regular socket. I know many places where these will be useful. Thank you again.
Then the ratchets are from our member @demarpaint. I love them. I didn’t know EZRed made regular tools. I’ve been needing another long 1/4 and I love flex heads. The other ratchets will look good in my collection too. I’m always grabbing different ratchets to use just depends on the day haha. So thank you too Frank. Looks like my birthday is off to a great start so far. I will be 21 on Sunday. I share a birthday with my niece Annabelle who will be 11. We do presents and cake and activities separately cause we don’t like any of the same things LOL.
So thank you both for your gifts to me. Really thoughtful of you guys. I’m going to have a big smile on my face walking in to work tomorrow with my treasures. I can’t thank you enough for the tools.
Lisle fuel line disconnect tool for Toyota and a 22mm Koken lug nut socket to complete the set.
And now my lug nut socket collection is complete:
(Also found a way to better utilize the left-half of the top drawer. This is what it used to look like.)

Hearing more and more good things about koken.
I really like mine - very thinwall and just enough extra clearance to allow for final torquing of the wheels without hitting the fender.
Unfortunately the 3-pc set did not include 22mm and I had to pay almost full price for that one.
Score for the day. $25
A person in Killingworth CT is getting rid of his tool collection. I’ve never seen such an enormous collection of tools. Some from his father. Many NOS. Vices, presses, cabinets, lifts, orbitals, hand tools, air tools, sand blasters, etc.
He said his wife presented him with an ultimatum…So the tools have to go.
I’m going back tomorrow.

Free shipping, no tax for an exceptional tool. Whats not to like?
Almost SO expensive and warranty can be challenging.
