the model numbers on many of the tools that I refered to begin with 943 or
094 or 43.. depending on how you read their numbers (ie. a 3/8" 1/2" 6 point
socket carries the Sears item number of #0944055 and the mfg number #44055.
This does not correspond to any number on that web page.

the model number on each Sears-branded item indicates who made it.
Here's a list of the codes:
