Originally $75.00 but i just bought a set of these and a set of crescent wrenches for less than $30.00 at Lowe's on clearance. Couldn't pass em up. Clean design too.
They couldn't put a switch on it because the switch repositions the pawl. The fact that it has 6 pawls makes it basically impossible to switch all six.
They have a Chinese set out now looks the same but dont feel the same
Just bought this set for 230 with tax
Sk tools was sold to Hangzhou GreatStar Industrial (Chinese Company) which also own:
* Arrow Fastners (acquired 2017)
* Pony Jorgensen clamps (acquired 2016)
* Goldblatt masonry tools (acquired 2010)
* Shop-Vac (acquired 2020)
* Millers Falls Company
* Sk hand tools(acquired 2021)
You need to file a complaint to the FTC for made in USA, since some of the tool set are made in China. Google, file a complaint to FTC and call them, since that is false advertisement. Not to mention breaking many of consumer right laws.
lifetime warranty. April fools!
Finally some 6 point ratchet wrenches!!!
They do NOT make these in the USA any longer. Only old shelf stock is still USA .
Not a fan of over chrome finish due to makes it extra slippery when hands have grease or oil on them. Don't like the triangle cut outs. Just another hard place to clean crap , oil & grease out of. Hate when quality tool companies are sold. Never know when new company will cut quality to line their greedy pockets.
I bought the metric befor it was sold to the Chinese company they are stamped USA. I got the sae inc 2 weeks ago the box says made in the usa but the USA stamp isnt on it. I wonder if it was made in Taiwan reason why it isnt stamped USA. Can someone respond if they have the same suspicious.
Anyone buy this set, but got the "made on China" variant? Same item number (80019), which seems rather sneaky on SK's part.
That is sneaky
At first glance I thought "these look pretty cool", my next thought was "jeezus, the heads are huge, no thanks." The 1.7 degree swing is great in tight places, as long as it's not a tight space near the head.
Also, they're thick, so they can't fit everywhere, but that's okay because they're 0 offset. Extremely comfortable to use.
Didn't SK go out of business ?? Did someone buy them out.?? Thks
How much per week ?
Dude.. you fidgetted and faddled that ratchet but could not slow down enough to show USA on the one side. Learn to slow down and show us every detail.
You can clearly see the USA markings on them even in the thumbnail. Hell i take my time and cover in detail and people fuss videos are too long. I speed them up and people fuss about that. Just goes to show no matter what you do you can’t make people happy
They were US made, but now that they're owned by a Chinese corporation who has currently halted production to start the introduction of some tools made in China who knows where they'll be made if production of them will resume.
If they don't continue production of the ratchets and sockets here, S-K will officially be a dead brand.
They still make tools in the USA. No different than most companies even if they bring in some “globally sourced components”
No different than the phone you are typing on
@@KoonTrucking
Does anybody really know what's actually going on at S-K right now ?
All I know is that production was on pause, and that the Chinese corporation that now owns them is introducing a number of imported tools including wrenches
HJE has decided to stop carrying S-K because they were told that the Wrenches will now be imported, they could have gotten some bad info but they were confident enough in it to make this decision.
There's not a lot of companies making ratcheting wrenches here in the US, and I would not put it past that corporation who now owns them to waste no time moving production of these to China.
If they don't then that's great, but I have heard no conformation that it's not going to happen.
They are building stuff in my town, have been working hard getting all the lines back up and going. My wife applied for a Logistics manager there........Got to see everything with her own eyes. They ended up moving jobs around with current employees so it wasn't filled, but getting inside info was nice on this situation.
@@tpfromcentralpa1692 that's good news.
Clay, trying to listen to teeth moving is useless! Watching backdrag while suspending the wrench is the only way to understand the ratcheting system. I will forever condemn Ideal Industries for selling SK to the Chinese!
👍
X beam > X frame
Have both sets and think there the bees knees it's a shame great star bought them out hope they keep them usa made remains to be seen glad I got mine before that happend
I have had these wrenches for a couple years now and absolutely love them. the low arc swing is something made in dreams.
Nice looking wrenches…
I have a set of SK wrenches I bought in 1980 when I was 17 I still have them and have never had a problem with them … thick handles and comfortable in your hand
1st?
I could have definitely used one of those bad boys today in a 14mm. I needed something in a zero offset, so I had to improvise with some tape and a prayer.
Man the proto non slip is the best. I’ve put a cheater bar on those. Very underrated wrench. I like my flank drive and the SK are a big jump up from gear wrench.

Love my complete sets of SK USA SAE and MM stubbies? Bought them off Ebay like 20 years ago, worth every penny? The chrome is second to none, and still use them to this day. Those X-Frame wrenches have been out for years, but were pretty pricey? Would have bought those wrenches ,if I didn't already own my favorite set of reversible Matco USA Ratcheting wrenches? Thanks for bringing quality USA tools out in the light?
They got bought out by Great Star China. All tooling has moved to China. They are no longer made in the USA. You can still find some USA shelf stock but the chances are low.
It's a pretty sharp-looking SK Wrench Set!
I have had a number of these sets as in work, home and road service car that I will tell you they work very well and the tight spots deal they will save you but you must be careful with the smaller ones and breaking stuff loose as in I have had to warranty out some 10mm and 13mm wrenches before so they work but be careful as I said before. The open ends are super tough by the way.
Is this something Joe has?
No
I always liked SK wrenches unfortunately they never had an industrial program so getting them really wasn’t an option for me but I always thought they made really really great tunes
The open end flank drive style on my Matco wrenches makes a huge difference in biting down on a fastener and not slipping off as much. Thought it was just a gimmick, but once you actually use them, you will never want to go back to regular open flat end wrenches again? Just my opinion?
Good review. Waiting to see where sk is going after being sold to china. What is going on with jdtco April fool's joke.
Clay, you forgot one important thing, how much?😅
Probably your right arm and your left nut. LOL!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂💰
You can get them at pretty much whatever price you are willing to pay. SK is all over the map on pricing
I bought the metric set about a year ago. Couldn't be happier with them. Amazing set of ratcheting wrenches!
I’ve always wanted the x frame. I thought they were discontinued.
Nope just been backordered.
When I started out I did a stint at jiffy lube all we had was sk wrenches most so worn out they were useless! I just figured cheap tools so that's why the company bought them but refused to replace them!
YOU GOT THEM? IVE BEEN WAITING FOR A MONTH. as a student i guess I will keep waiting because they help out with that.
SK fell off so hard hanging on by a thread lmao
I trade my right nut for a set
SK used to be huge in Canada, but not for close to ~30 years, it's like they fell off of the planet.😮
When Macleod's was in business before Ace brought them, all the farmers had multiple sets of SK.
Then Rona, then Lowes in turn bought them. SK was one of the fatalities. Sad, really.
Sk tools was under the Ideal industries ownership which was sold to Hangzhou GreatStar Industrial whom also own.
* Arrow Fastners (acquired 2017)
* Pony Jorgensen clamps (acquired 2016)
* Goldblatt masonry tools (acquired 2010)
* Shop-Vac (acquired 2020)
* Millers Falls Company
* Sk hand tools(acquired 2021)
Wanted these for years, but have to have 12point in my industry.
6 point!!! Nice
Will SK keep manufacturing these in the USA now that they were bought out?
I’m sure they will. There’s a long backorder now waiting on them
@Koon Trucking I think I'm going to call Monday and order myself an SAE set, if you had to guess how long will I have to wait?
Too bad they never made these in an off set reversible wrench. I have straight wrenches similar to these and I never use them, I use the offset reversible ones all the time.
For what it’s worth, I saw another video where the explanation was that the 6 pawl technology is incompatible with a reversible switch.
SK makes some nice stuff! cool video
Good vidja thanks for taking the time to make it clay
Sk was my first socket set I bought about 35 years ago. Sad they were sold off to a communist country. I’ll wait to buy anything from them. What’s the use of a lifetime warranty if they possibly won’t be around to fulfill it?
Disappointing that they aren't reversible. That, and they are bulky and straight. Not what I would buy. Beautifully made as most SK tools are/were.
Michael not swing by today?
holy koon, dead gum that's a set of ratchetin wrenches if I've ever seen 1 n USA n made prty purdy far as I'm concerned 1.7degree 👏 with a lifetime warranty
I have never cared for 6 point box on for wrench’s
If they was a 12 point with a 15 degree offset I'd already have some.
Are these back in stock from SK? They went thru an ownership change (again); I got these when they first came out and I need my 10mm warrantied since it occasionally locks up. These wrenches are NOT cheap, but they are fantastic in tight spaces.
No I don’t think they still manufacture these.
Yes they still make them. I had to wait on these for a while to come back in
@@KoonTrucking Where did you get these? SK website sold out for months.
You didn't mention the set size range or are they available in metric and imperial sets.. just a hint for some useful content.
i have this wrench set from before SK was bought by China. are the new wrench sets the same as the old wrench sets?
That is a really nice looking Rich said SK has really stepped the game up it looks like I am kind of bummed though that it’s not a 12 point buck stand ratchet though but where did you get it from SK or some other vendor
is this made in china now?
I thought SK went out of business. I put all mine up because I didn’t want to risk breaking them
No they just got purchased by a Chinese corporation, and there were some internal changes happening so production was on pause.
They're introducing some Chinese tools, but hopefully all the important stuff remains American made.
Where did you get these? I’ve been waiting for months. SK website is still sold out.
Fastenal/Grainger had them; I picked up mine from a local hardware store. They stock Proto, Wright Tool, SK, and Channellock
They aren’t available anymore. If you find a set still hiding in someone’s inventory, grab them. I don’t think the new SK will be making them anymore
SK still makes them. I know 100% for a fact. Had to wait for them to be made. There’s a huge backorder so it just takes time
@@KoonTrucking did you have to call them to get added to the list? Or did email work?
how do I order them?
I have always wanted a set of these since they first came out. When I was ready to purchase, they were always out of stock. Kept waiting, but they never materialized and I kind of forgot about them as a result. I have decade's worth of SK tools and love them. With the exception of their phllip head screwdrivers, all have served me well. Seeing "Made in the U.S.A. with foreign components" on the depicted box makes me want to puke! My lifelong love affair with SK Tools just came to a screeching halt. I am not going to support, and pay that kind of money for Communist China produced steel. At least not if I can help it.
They are always out of stock. I’ve been waiting on these for a LONG time
The “made in the USA with global components” scam has infiltrated its way across the spectrum. I see it on MAC boxes for example. Sucks, I’m with you brother.
It’s a nice wrench but what is disappointing to me was seeing on back of the box..”made in USA with foreign components”..my view is china or Taiwan are making the parts and they’re simply being assembled in USA.
Nope, probably wouldn't pass FTC muster if that's how it works. The wording seems to imply that's just a goal of the company itself, and not the specific tool. That can be further taken by the blank "Made in USA" claim on the front of the box with no further implication and no little asterisk, and the wrenches themselves saying "USA" on them which just having these 3 letters on the product is an unqualified claim of Made in USA.
There's no blasting Made in USA all over the place and then putting some teeny tiny print somewhere else going "oh uh yeah foreign stuff." SK's been having enough troubles the last 20 years without trying to attract FTC fines.
When they first came out it was usa forging steel and usa assembly
SK recently was bought out by the Chinese. I think that was like 6 months or so ago
I have an important question here. Do the SnapOn screwdrivers fit in the Icon screwdriver tray? I mean since Icon is a copy of SnapOn, and HF has a 25% off coupon thus weekend...
No clue
They do. Nearly perfect. I grabbed the icon set and put all the phillips in the kitchen drawer and put the SnapOns in the tray with my garage tools
