Combination Socket Set Appraisal

25-Piece Metric and Inch Combination 1/2-inch Drive Socket Wrench Set

This item is a 25-piece socket wrench set, combining both metric and standard (SAE) sizes, designed for a 1/2-inch drive. The set is housed in a rectangular, dark blue metal case with rounded corners and a silver-colored handle. The interior of the case features a molded plastic or metal insert, likely black, designed to snugly hold each tool in place. The tools themselves are made predominantly of polished chrome-plated steel, exhibiting a shiny, metallic silver appearance. The set includes a variety of sockets, ranging in size, along with several drive tools: a ratchet wrench, an extension bar, a breaker bar (or T-handle), and potentially other specialized adapters or universal joints, although not all components are perfectly clear from the image. The lid of the case features a vivid blue label with yellow and white text, announcing '25 piece METRIC AND INCH COMBINATION 1/2' DRIVE Socket Wrench Set'. There's also a smaller yellow logo or badge on the label and a white price tag/label attached to the case. The presentation of the set suggests it is either new, lightly used, or very well-maintained, as there are no obvious signs of significant rust, heavy scratching, or other severe wear on the tools themselves. The case appears to be in good condition with minor scuffs consistent with typical storage or handling. The set appears to be from the mid-to-late 20th century, given its packaging style and construction, and represents a practical and comprehensive tool kit for mechanical tasks requiring a variety of common socket sizes.
