Best SK Dealer?

[5toes]

I am trying to find a place with sutff in stock and good prices. And also one that is reputable.... and I can't.

So far best Ive gotten is SJDiscountTools.com

Any thoughts?

Epstein, but they don't have everything. Good people to deal w/ though.

Nobody local anymore?

I always had good luck locally, but all that is nearly gone now.

Sears, at full retail for what they have...

I wish online retailers would update their websites...

SJ Discount is located in my hometown,some people like them and some GJ members do not like them.

I can give you the name of a wonderful tool store but they do not have the best web-site to work with. The name of the store that deals in SK tools is called Spartan Tool Supply in columbus,Ohio. 1-800-848-1368. The man you want to ask for is Mr. Jim Weekley, he is a very nice man who will help you out.

As far as prices go they are not cheap but not all that expensive and if you have any problems Jim will make good on everything (at least that is for the walk in trade),not sure about over the phone deals.

How good are they on price? Like if it is a $150 item at SJ, $X at Spartan?

Oh and just noticed... all their SK is 30% off

SK has dealers???

(sorry, shouldn't joke - we're all waiting to see SK dealers reappear)

i use to buy all my stuff from the dayton tool crib they would have 50% off sales twice a year havent been up there in awhile though.

Is Dayton relatively cheap?

 

[patrickw10]

far as i remember that had pretty good prices on most things.

Okay cool. Website says 2001, so not sure if that 30% applies now. Hmm Ill give em a call later this week.

Im looking to buy my first tools, and I think SK is the perfect socket set for me.

I bought a nice 3/8 drive S-K set off SJ Discount Tools... great price, everything went smooth. I ordered from them a couple more times with no issue.

^ how long ago, because apparently they dont have much in stock. You have to call them on everything.

I think Tooltopia always had the best prices on SK.

I have fallen in love with this set. Seems like an excellent value

Mytoolstore.com is a site for a Las Vegas SK dealer with a real store that really stocks SK. I've never ordered from their site but I've been to the shop and they're great guys. No promises, and they don't have the best prices. Big help, eh?

I would hold off on new SK until great deals or more dust settles. Stuff made right at the end during the labor action could be defective.

 

[5toes]

So you're saying new SK wont be that bad?

 

[tyreguy25]

I would have to say Epstein, as they are about 25 miles from me and will order what you want if they don't have it.

 

[5toes]

Ill have to give all these places a call, thanks.

Where would they order the SK from if they did not have it?

Amazon always has a ton of stuff from various vendors.

I agree.
