Yes but mine were made by Maun and aren't made of cheesemetal with
wobblium pivots. As they were also made 50 years ago and came via eBay,
they cost me less than that too.

Have you ever seen anything by "Forge Steel" that inspired enough
confidence to _want_ to use an "extra leverage" version of it? World's
got enough crap, cheap tools in it already, don't encourage them.

But hang on - they're made of the finest "chrome vanadium steel" just like
all those old "Talco" or "Teknix" socket sets. Think I have one or two of
those old sets somewhere. Must be good!

Does that mean they are good?
