Old School SK

[cruiser808]

Okay - We got alot of whining about the quality of SK tools lately. Well, I have to generally agree, but let me show you an old timey kick *** 1/2 " breaker bar that kicks *** and takes names. I beat this tool with a 3-pound hammer and a 5-foot pipe and it still said, "thank you sir, may I have another??"

Okay, can we see it then?

Seems to be that the general consensus is that old SK stuff is top notch .

You "betcha" -- I have older SK-Wayne sockets that have held up better than MAC, Craftsman, and yes, even SNAP-ON.

Then again, I have two 70's vintage SK 1/2" drive socket sets that have failed miserably.

Yup, the really old SK sockets I find digging through pawn shop junk tool bins are almost always in very usable shape.

I have a bunch of older ratchets n sockets. A few are from the 30's .
All fine. The newer stuff I have looks kinda crappy but still works.

Is that a Harbor Freight breaker bar above the SK bar?

if SK was so much better than snap
how come the company has been bought and sold more times than a bronx ****** ?

My hammer says it doesn't care, as long as it can keep pounding the @#$% out of the SK tool. Huh, like a bronx ******?

SpiderGearsMan unless I missed it I didn't see anyone say s-k is better than snap on they are both good industrial tools.

Yes. Yes it is...

 

[eschoendorff]

VERY nice indeed!

Yeah, but it flexes a little more than I like. It is a 24" version, but I might trade it in on a Snap On 24"...
