In the Navy as an airplane mechanic everyone had a prescribed set of tools, each etched with the squadron # and tool box #, inventoried weekly and after any big job to ensure no tool left in a plane where it could cause problems. We called the 12" Crescent a Many 16th's since the standard wrenches were spread by 16th's.

Around this neck of the woods it's called an Arkansas speed wrench

no such thing as a lost socket. we checked out a specific tool box for the repair . inventoried first. when brought back to tool ben if anything was missing the bird was grounded until found.

Guys assigned to our shop were issued a numbered toolbox rather than checking one out from the tool crib, but I can see the benefit of the method your unit used, especially for an active combat unit.
