Anyone got a 9/32 drive ratchet, sockets, etc...?
It seems that in the US they were mostly made by Snap On, and mostly made from the early 30s until 1942. Most were made for the military. I read somewhere that they were to keep folks from stealing them, but that doesn't make sense to me. It seems that they may have also been made by Plumb/Plomb and maybe King Dick.
I thought it was interesting that something else existed besides 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 (and some of the bigger stuff)
