Vintage 1950s Craftsman Ratcheting Screwdriver and Socket Driver Set in its original embossed metal storage box.

This mid-century tool kit includes the classic Craftsman dual-knurled ratchet handle, interchangeable screwdriver bits, small sockets, and a drill-chuck adapter — all seated in the original red metal insert tray.

A true piece of Sears/Craftsman tool history, this set was manufactured in the USA (1950s–early 1960s) by Millers Falls or North Brothers under contract for Sears. These early ratcheting driver sets were marketed as all-purpose mechanic’s kits and are now prized by collectors.
