Does anyone have any info on this set? I read over on the GJ that it may have been a Christmas promo in 1983. The Blue Point claw hammer is a BC10 which isn't in any catalogs I have and doesn't show up in a catalog search on here. The hammer has a 1982 date stamp on the head and the SSDD42 screwdriver shank has a 1982 stamp which fits in with the Christmas promo idea.
I think it is missing a tool as well. Maybe slip joint pliers? There are two loops that have nothing in them except for the small white screwdriver that is a dealer giveaway.
Have been told by a Snap on dealer in the 80's that the set is missing a pair of chrome approx. 6" Snap on slip-joint pliers, presumably Vacuum grip handles.
After a little catalog searching, there was a pair of Blue Point DK15 chrome 5" pliers . These seem to be the most logical pliers in my mind to go with the other Blue Point items included in the kit.
i think the Bluepoint DK-15 would look about right in your kit. my example is 5 3/8" and hope that is helpful in your assessment of size compatibility within your storage pouch. i know that the catalogs listed the DK-15 to be 5". i suggest that you check ebay listings regularly for your pliers. they'll turn up sooner or later.

I have the Diamond ( the manufacturer of the DK-15) K15 pliers in there for now to fill the space till I find the Blue Points
i'm a daily driver at an OldSchool swap meet open 7 days/week in so cal. it's big and lots of tools there. i'll keep my eyes open for the Bluepoint DK-15.
