Needing some 3/4 tools, I wanted to look for a brand I know is high quality. Refusing to pay the insane tool truck prices I thought of sk. I was shocked to see that their prices are actually MORE expensive than snap on. What the hell. Granted the sk set has a few more sockets than the snap on so I'll give them that but still if I'm gonna pay that money I'm gonna get the truck service.

He's looking at the corporate website, where the price is higher than anywhere else you can find so they don't undercut/compete with their distributors. Just put the part numbers into google and you will be able to find prices much cheaper than that.

I paid way less than Snap-On for my 3/4" SK set...? Where are you looking?
SK socket set on Amazon is $860.

How about an SK 20 piece 3/4 impact socket set for $421?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00062LNYO/?tag=atomicindus08-20
Never buy from SK directly. Shop around and you can get some great deals.

I too, miss the older version of the SnapOn website.
As for 3/4", buy a couple cheap sets or used, replace the pieces that break as time goes on. You'll be money ahead.
SK isn't in business to sell direct to individuals.

It's easier to go to the digital catalog and click on the part number. When you click on the part number, it takes you straight to the store page for the tool.
