CRAFT 9/16" socket. Made by SK?

[Barnabas]

I just got this 9/16" six-point socket that says "CRAFT" and has the part number of 45118, which is the same part number that SK uses on the same socket.

Did SK make this?

BTW - The photo was made by rolling the socket on the scanner as it scanned.

From my understanding maybe. I know some of the craft items were made in Japan. I believe the ratchets were made by SK but unsure on the sockets.
Cool picture by the way. Would have never thought if doing that.

Craft were knockoffs I believe.

Take a look at this thread. Some of the pics have disappeared.

Now I'm 100% sure. Made in Japan. I thought so, but been a while since seeing them in person.

This is from eBay.

Sorry, I can only post one at a time. For future reference though.

Looks just like SK. A darn good knockoff.
