New SK Tools in 2018

[bakemono]

It's probably better that you didn't get in on the early run of the 3/8 drive 90 tooth pear head ratchet because, now you won't have a green direction switch on your 3/8 ratchet that doesn't match the current steel grey direction switches that will be on the other drives sizes if they're ever released.

That’s kind of a bummer. Why did they ditch the anodized green? I was considering filling the “SK” or the numbers in my xframe ratchets with green paint.

If they ever make a quick release, having a green button to match their logo would be awesome.

How about lowering the prices on https://sktools.com? Yeah. I know. It's a stretch.



I'm an SK Club member. I love the socket of the month promo. I make sure I place my order each month. That said, I've only placed one order direct from SK that I paid for (aside from the membership fee), and that was only because they gave out a bunch of points for completing a survey and I combined that with a 40%-off Father's day promo. The prices are just too high. All my other SK purchases have been made through other sources with reasonable prices, like Epstein's. I don't want the resellers to be undercut, though. I know it's a fine line.



Otherwise, some mid-length sockets would be nice, and some SK-branded (green!) storage options like metal set boxes, hand boxes, socket rails, and tool bags.

What’re the benefits of the paid SK club?

I think the only real tangible benefit is the free socket a month. They give you free shipping and discount on their site too but the prices are so high you'd only buy there during a Promo (Fathers day just had 40% off) which are open to everyone.

What’re the benefits of the paid SK club?

Click HERE to be redirected to the sign up page. There is a free tier, and a "Pro" tier for $50/year.

And, THIS is the terms and conditions page. Section #2 outlines the benefits of membership.

I signed up for the Pro club mainly for the free monthly socket. I'm piecing together complete sets for a bit less than I could buy them otherwise, accounting for the membership fee. But, patience is required. It's only one socket a month. It's delayed gratification. Every once in a while they include extra goodies in the shipment, too. For instance, last December, they included an SK ball cap and a pocket screwdriver.

I forget about SK coming out with new stuff until these old topics pop up
