SK Metric X Frame at Lowes

[KSJeff]

Not sure how hot this one is but I've wanted to try the SK X frames and this is the best price I've seen @$49.98. Sizes 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 13mm, 14mm, 15mm, 17mm.

Here's the link to Lowes. Mine had a couple of sets so I'll pick it up tomorrow.

Those look kinda chunky and may not fit too well in tight areas. OK for general household use though.

Well, they just called and cancelled it, so YMMV. Odd.

Shows $49.98 at my store as well, until May 7th. FWIW

And they just called again and said they found it so I'll grab it tomorrow.

The cover picture on Lowe's site is not the best. They do look chunky. Here are more in the gallery for that listing:

Went and grabbed these. I'm not going to trek out to the big shop, but here's a couple of shots against wrenches from my front garage box.

Case and 10mm X frame vs 10mm Gearwrench vs 10mm Wera Joker


Thickness shot with same wrenches. Wera doesn't lay flat so it doesn't help much. Left to right is Wera, Gearwrench and SK.



COO is China so I'm not sure how these will be. They look good and operate smoothly, but who knows.

Shame these are no longer a USA-made product

There is another thread on these at Lowes. For $50 they're a good deal.

Ordered the sae set to match the metric set my supervisor bought me a couple years ago.
Thanks

If these are made in China, then they are NOT SK X-frame wrenches. Those were made in the USA.

Apparently, those are dead now. These are just Chinese ratchet wrenches.

Yeah, I seen the SK ratchet set at Lowe’s was on clearance. Then I noticed it was from China. Broke my heart.
