I buy these sets when I see them at meets and e-bay. They are a great value and definitely good quality Japanese tool steel.
Allied International Tools is an American company that has imported quality Japanese tools since the 1970's. Most all their older Japanese tool line is underrated -- hence they usually go for pennies.
Found this driver set a few weeks ago -- I really like it!

This older set is from the early 1980's
