KC Pro .

[old salvage]

Does anyone know anything about them. A quick google search turned up this..
http://www.kctools.com.au/
but I'm not even sure its them.
I tried searching this forum and even using the terms 'plier, wrench, tools, KC Pro' all at once it still tells me I have to use more than 3 words.
So, Apologies in advance if there's a 17 page thread somewhere about the history of kc pro.

First, not three words, but the words must have more then three letters. It is a big PITA when so many of the things I have tried to search for SK, OTC, Etc. are three or less and I am looking for a review.

Secondly, the site you give is in Austraila.

Yep, I did an SK search a couple of times too.
Frustrating indeed.

Its an australian based brand. Has been around for a while. Reasonably good quality at an OK price with mostly tools relabelled from taiwan. Kind of similar to toptul if you want an equivalent kind of brand in the US. Not Snap-on but not complete junk either. They seem to have a range of lines eg KC professional = "professional line", KC-Pro-Am = "good quality amateur mechanic line"

Kincrome is an australian tool brand in a similar style
www.kincrome.com.au

Sidchrome is the 'premier' tool brand in oz (in addition to overpriced snap-on stuff). Although recently a large proportion of sidchrome stuff seems to be made in taiwan now as well rather than australia. Kind of like Cornwell here i guess.

You probably won't ever see these brands in the US. Apart from some of the stuff i brought over in my box

Thanks s14kev.

I thought I remember MSC selling them a while back but its probably just some memories getting scrambled together.

Just a tip but when searching forum that require three or more use the * as a wild card. (shift 8) so you want to search for SK tool search SK* you'll be able to tell from the topic line if it is what you ware looking for.

I just searched for a review of the SK 92135 air impact...

KC Pro are good tools. As long as you stick to the KC Professional line.

SP, KC, Kincrome & Sidchrome are all OK to good quality tools, but there all overpriced for being made in Taiwan. You guys in the States would spew if you saw what we paid for Taiwanese tools.
