Are these real SK extensions?

[JradM]

I bought a 6-piece 1/4” drive extension set on Amazon. The package arrived with an SK label and part number on it. However what’s puzzling me is that “SK” doesn’t appear on the extensions themselves.

I’ve never bought “SK” brand tools before so perhaps this is normal? What does appear on the extensions is “US.PRO” - and troublingly, US PRO appears to be another tool brand sold overseas, unrelated to SK, based on my googling.

Anyone who owns SK tools care to comment- did I get a fake?

Was this a warehouse deal? Looks like they were switched and returned.

I doubt that I still have the plastic case. I can check what mine say. I bought mine under Ideal. Also, you could reach out to SK. I've not had a bad experience with it's communication yet. Chat, e-mail, and call are each an option.

I'm going to say no they aren't legit. The link below looks like what you got. All my SK extensions have "SK" on them. I'd return them

Thanks everyone! Looks like you nailed it mrjaw14. Glad I asked - these are going back ASAP.

Glad I could help. I was just thinking of buying some SK extensions off Amazon too...kinda scared to now lol! Did you get them from amazon itself, or one of the other sellers who sell on amazon?

Was this Amazon or Amazon Warehouse - can you post a link to the set you ordered?

 

[JradM]

Yes this was a warehouse deal. DSLTRK probably guessed what happened.

I'm too new to post a direct link, but it was listed on Amazon as "SK 4916T 6 Piece 2-Inch, 3-Inch, 6-Inch, 8-Inch, 10-Inch and 14-Inch 1/4-Inch Drive Extension Set".

Some scoundrel probably thought they were pretty clever returning a 6-piece US.PRO set instead.

Yep those aren't SK. I don't have 1/4 SK but my 3/8 and 1/2 all say SK on them.

I doubt SK lists extension lengths in MM. Looks like the SK sticker was taped to some Chinesium.

Just checked my 1/4 extensions and they say SK on them.

 

[drtyler]

SK denotes extension lengths in inches, not mm as shown on that tray.

SK always uses green cases and trays

SK uses a lot of black trays too.

I would report the fraud to Amazon along with returning them.
They can track the original purchaser.
I had this happen with a pair of 16" Cobra XL's from AWD that arrived and someone switched them for the same size Tekton.
