SK punches and chisels

[OKIEtyler]

Who makes them? Does SK make their own, or are they made by someone else and branded SK? They are USA made and have an AF mark on them. Anyone know?

Purely a guess but, I thought SK got them from western forge

To say that either Mayhew or Wilde makes them would be a good guess I think. I like the SK pry bars and wish I knew who made them.

Well I ordered a punch from matco once and it wad labeled SK, I know that matco rebrands mayhew so it's very possible sk is mayhew also

Western Forge is owned by Ideal industries the parent company of SK and they make punches,chisels,pry-bars,screwdrivers and ajustable wrenchs. I will go out on a limb and say SK punches and chisels are made by WF.

I have some SK stubby pin punches, man they are good. You can really wack'em without worrying about bending them.

Makes sense to have a stubby set. The really hard part is starting the pin, then switch to longer ones.

I would have a hard time believing anything else.

Perhaps pre-bankruptcy. Since the reboot though i'd be surprised if it wasn't WF. I like my WF made Craftsman stuff. Holds up well despite being quite affordable.
