r olson,

From one S-K junkie to another, YOU ****! $25 for that tool board is a nice score.

That board is awesome, and for $25? Wow.

SK ****...

my stash is just starting. I plan to make an advance auto order later this week.

I liked the thumb wheel ratchet so much I had to get both sizes. I use them as ratcheting screwdrivers mostly. I have some stubby wrenches and a few other things.

Chadwilliam1, That Stubby flex... does it have a screw or pin w/ spring and ball in the joint?

 

[Chadwilliam1]

it has a screw and no it doesn't have the bearing detents like craftsmans do. it is a very nice ratchet.

Sweet, I was hoping you would tell me that.

I am going to pick one up.

 

[Chadwilliam1]

you will not regret it.

I have a majority of SK tools in my box. My long, short, and open metric and standard wrenches are sk. Screwdrivers and torx drivers, a ratchet in each size, extensions, 1/4, 3/8, & 1/2" metric and fractional sockets, and punches (not shown). I like Snap-On better typically, but SK are way more than I need as a homeowner and jeeper. I do love their chrome, though some of the later socket broaching leftovers don't impress me. Most of mine are the cleaned out variety though. the screwdrivers have been ok but I think my craftsman pro's are at least as good, but I got the SK on sale when they went bankrupt.

I'd love to have one of the SK signs from the side of the building from Defiance. I think I remember seeing they were having an auction but I didn't go....

 

[r_olson_06]

I had to jump on the board you dont see them very often and it was quite a drive to go get. Should have it cleaned it a few weeks.

 

[Hyster Gareth]

Nice selection of SK you have there Boiler

 

[Chadwilliam1]

Most of my S-K... not pictured are my 3/8" and 1/2" torque wrenches

Which 3/8 torque wrench do you have?

 

[RCStocker]

The old grade school... if you sow me yours I will show you mine? OR If you have seen one you have seen them all?

I've got some SK wrenches from the 90's, and the Super Chrome is excellent. I recently had my 10mm combination wrench snap one of the open end "legs" off. I wasn't using excessive force, just my hand on a stubborn bolt, it just snapped. I contacted SK and sent them the wrench for warranty exchange. They quickly shipped me another wrench, I was happy. That is, until I looked at the quality of the new wrench. The chrome is awful, there is pitting and sharp edges all over the wrench. I would not recommend SK for anything new. I've contacted them to see if they will do anything about it. Sorry, I don't have pics of the offending wrench, just some of my good ones.

I just got my new S-K tools catalog, today!!!

Now understand folks, young men have fantasies, but old men have delusions...

So what do I find...a 67 year old's delusion...

Item # 86850A-1....850 pc Senior Mechanics Tool Set

Question: Has anyone bought/used this set, and how much would it cost???

Thanks in advance for tapping into the forum's vast knowledge bank...

With a little research, I found the set including a SK 41" 13 drawer roller cabinet and a 9 drawer top chest at America's Tool Warehouse for $ 9,933.97...

That sounds like a real good price...

Am I right???

Tools only at several sites is $7534.19, then you could pick your own box (Lista? International SHD?)

I was eyeballing that in the catalog too. Looks like a heck of a set. It'd be silly for me to get that since it would give me too many duplicates (sockets, long pattern wrenches, etc). At least that's what I keep telling myself.

 

[Jawn]

Boomshackalacka! Superkrome SUPERBLING!



Same wrenches (mostly) as the first page of this thread (added the flare wrenches, barely visible in the pic). Also included pics of the socket/ratchet drawers. 1/2" drawer is all SK except the angle gauge and the speeder. 3/8" and 1/4" drawer is probably 95% SK... a few oddballs here and there.

 

[Chadwilliam1]

got these today for 20 bucks.
SK 42479
Bonney T-702K

 

[Chadwilliam1]

some new SK arrivals today.
24" & 16" 1/2 drive, 10" 3/8 drive and 5"' 1/4 breaker bars.

SK 45173 3/8 ratchet in a 1/4 body.

I was on the fence about this one and the Wright version. I have not seen the Wright one in person but this SK is so smooth. I am really happy with it.

I put it on a 21 mm deep.

 

[69tr6r]

Just an update to my previous post about the new 10mm wrench I received as a warranty replacement. I contacted SK and told them I was not happy with the chrome finish on the new wrench and they quickly responded, giving me a UPS preprinted label in order to send that wrench back, which I did. A few days later I received another 10mm wrench, and this time the chrome was perfect! So they can still make good tools, not sure how the first one got through QC. They seemed interested in that too, which is why they wanted it back. Very Happy with SK tools again.

 

[Chadwilliam1]

glad they stand behind their products.

SK 45173 3/8 ratchet in a 1/4 body.

Nice stuff, I have been meaning to order the larger of those two 1/2" breaker bars... maybe the other as well (at times, I just don't have the space for a 24" bar under a vehicle). Already have the 1/4" and 3/8" bars.

Also, good stuff on the tiny ratchet... been thinking real hard on that one or something similar.

 

[fourtythree]

I have that 24" breaker bar. It's nice and beefy and the chrome is perfect. Definitely worth a look if you're looking for a quality bar.

 

[knocker]

Buddy of mine @ work had a pretty sweat sk 1/2 composite impact, I'll have to take a pic tomorrow. Anyone know if they will get back into the pneumatic tool game again. Wouldn't mind picking one up, pretty powerful. Also I've always likes the look of their wrenches wish I had a need for some more wrench. If so sk would be my choice.

got the 3/8 last week its new and the 1/4 and extension were advertised as vintage got them for 19. I wish Sk made a locking flex ratchet.

that ratchet is really nice, the switch on the top is slightly loose but the square drive and gear are solid.

the 24" breaker bar is awesome. maybe one day I will buy a 3/4 3' breaker bar.

Here's my buddies 1/2" impact

My SK wrenches - 1/4" to 1-1/2" and 6mm to 32mm long pattern. I love how bright the SK chrome is.

 

[Chadwilliam1]

nice wrenches!

 

[FLRover]

Rather new to the brand. My father has always raved about their tools whish helped my decision to purchase this set this weekend.

 

[FoMoCoPower]

Do these count?

Nice set, I have the same (except for the top 4 fractional ones).

 

[SalA]

Bought this little beauty about 40 years ago. All of the pieces are still in tact and the ratchet works perfectly. Paid $18.88 for this 21-piece set. Expensive back then and also by today's prices (Cheap stuff was made in Japan then...who knew).

Made in the USA!!

 

[Chadwilliam1]

got this for $10.75 on eBay, took it apart and cleaned all the grease out and put super lube in.

 

[aaron h]

Scored all this off CL . 1/4 3/8 and 1/2 sockets with ratchets. No complete sets but its a start. All I own is craftsman, so this was a nice find. plan on buying alot more SK ,im really diggin everything they make!

I've got that set. Its my favorite socket set out of all my tools. Comes in handy all the time!

 

[chopper1]

Figured I send this thread back to the top with the S-K/S-K Wayne stuff I picked up in the last couple weeks.

 

[ganymede]

Don't really like newer tools but this one feels different. Action is smoother than any sk I've ever had. And the knurling is excellent unlike most newer tools.

 

[mdbeck1]

Well I missed this thread until today.
Most of these are SK:
View media item 27000
...and most of these are SK:
View media item 26994
...and another complete set in the truck
...and another almost complete set in the wood shop


Yeah... I've had the SK bug most of my life.
