Son collects classic Britool stuff and has simply discovered a 9/32 drive socket set, why did they make these as its so near 1/4 drive?

A couple of corporations made that dimension. Cannot recall the reasoning offhand, however appear to recall point out of one thing in a thread within the classic instruments part of GJ. Most likely only a pre-standardisation dimension.

I beneath stand the Snap-on ones had been made initially as promotional instruments for gross sales reps within the states as examples for the complete dimension 1/2″ drive versions. Later on they decided to produce the 3/8″ and 1/4″ variations as buyer demand grew.

I’ve a king dick 9/32″ ratchet & (maybe) a britool extension bar that came in a box of tools I bought. I thought I would never use them but by accident I discovered that they fit a myford 3 jaw chuck perfectly!
