I think Craftsman was the first with the push button socket release. Now just about all socket wrenches have that very useful feature.

They did, well they stole the design from someone. Got caught and had to pay the original designer $16,000,000. This was back in the late1070's.

Got a box of Craftsman tools about 40 years ago. Have only lost a few. Back in the day, they were the best for the back-yard mechanic when the others like Snap-on were too expensive. And the Craftsman brand stood for quality. But that was back in the day.
