When Sears sold the WORST Socket Set Ever Made
5 months ago

In this video we look at a 1960's or 1970's era Sears "Carbon Steel" Hex Drive socket set.
Hex drive had been made pretty much obsolete by square drive, back in the 1930's.
But some manufacturers kept making these sets, positioned as budget alternatives, all the way up through the 1970's.
This set has a 1920's style sheet metal ratchet, which was non-reverseable, and had a 18 tooth mechanism.
