Hi. I'm new to this site and have a few questions. I have a KRA-222B 1/4" drive Socket Set in original box that looks complete with 11 sockets, a universal joint/wobble connector, sliding T handle, and a breakover handle. All items are marked with an MV series designation but no date code. My main question is did this set come with a ratchet, and if so, what does it look like? Any help is greatly appreciated. I'll attach pics (hopefully).

Kra-222b would be the box model number. Should be a 2 digit number ,denoting the year, after U.S.A.
The "V"in model number,on tools, denotes military /government tools.
In the '70's they didn't always date code tools. I think that box was used for basic sets,sockets and breaker bar. If you browse the catalogs from the '70's you'll get a better idea.

That should have a MV71 flat handle ratchet. It won't show up in the catalogs because it is military. Look on Ebay, there are lot's for sale. I would guess there should be a 2" or 6" extension or both also.

Thanks for the info. I'm trying to get a good description of the set before I list it on eBay. Looks like it has a 1967 date on it. I have a flat handle MV71 ratchet and a 2" MVX2 extension I may include in the set when it goes up for sale. Great site and thanks again.
