Sk rotors ratchet

[VictorBravo]

Mine came in yesterday (Monday). Pretty fast for a Friday evening order.

It certainly looks like NOS, with an emphasis on the "O."

The selector barely budged when I got it. After twisting it a few times, and then adding some light oil, it is smooth and easy to use. I guess it sat in a warehouse for a long time and the lubricant dried out.

Yeah you could tell mine has been sitting for a long time. It took a few turns to get limbered up but it's fine now.

S•K, bring back the Roto!

 

[MrPretty]

Just FYI, there were a few more ratchets added this morning with Prime shipping.

 

[Bigblue&Goldie]

That was fast. I let the boss know about this excitement for the Rotos. Cucumbers at a women's prison. Haha.

Please do. Honestly, when I found out these were discontinued by SK I went to Snap On. I would've preferred the SK due to the knurled handle.

20 more in stock...

Hurry, get them before they run out! Kind of like what I do at swap meets sometimes, if I have multiples, only put out 1 or 2 at a time. Easier to get people to buy now rather than later it they think they might not be able to later.
I have one of these I bought many years ago when a hardware store was going out, was cheap, so I figured what the heck. But I bet I can count on 1 hand how many times I've actually used it, I don't know, just seems kind of bulky.

[shoggoth80]

Ooof. If there are still any on payday...

 

[wvrailroader]

I don't know where they keep finding these but I am glad they did. Been looking for one for a while. Thanks OP!

 

[sonvolt]

I'm in for one, 4 left !

 

[nynexit]

Gone ! That was fast. Cross your fingers on a restock

 

[nynexit]

And there back in stock 5 left - price up to $62.

 

[Kamanhart]

Holy cow guys!! This guy must be crapping his pants thinking he found a gold mine in a box of old ratchets

 

[dutchgray]

If they really knew what they had they would have asked more than what they have, I bet they would have still sold at $100 each if they were on eBay one at a time.

 

[redwrench60]

This is getting kinda comical. The price jack kinda ***** though.

I wonder if S•K is paying any attention........

 

[AmishFury]

SK Eric already chimed in saying he would pass word along to his boss

 

[Whiplash316]

Just bought one. Thanks for the heads up!

 

[vssjim]

just bought one also happy to have a new one

 

[bobbycos]

Just bought one. Thanks for the heads up!

6 left in stock, was 7 but I grabbed the 1

 

[firworks]

5 left now... Such an expensive forum to spend time on. I totally don't need this in the slightest but that didn't stop me.

 

[toolmiser]

I purchased one last night. $62.00, more than most of you paid, but I was a little late to the table and think it's still a good deal.

 

[nynexit]

It's so worth it- we may never get another new one. (Stoked)

 

[1950mercury]

Not to piss on everyone's sk ratchets but I think I would buy a 100 tooth comfort handle (i wont mention the brand)on eBay for that kind of money. But to each his own

What if I don't like rubber ***** comfort handles? The un named manufacturer you're talking about doesn't offer Rotos in chrome handle.

I will agree with you on this, comfort handles are great for comfort, but seem to absorb dirt and oil and eventually and multi component ones fall apart, not going to happen with the SK, also once they get round to making a dual pawl kit for their ratchets these could be made 80 tooth, which is plenty fine enough.

[Whiplash316]

Just got mine in the mail today. It's a little grimy and dusty, but looks brand new.

 

[sonvolt]

Got mine on friday and it is dead mint, sweet deal

 

[nynexit]

Got mine on Friday . What do you guys use to loosen it up?

 

[Whiplash316]

Mine was already free spinning. I'm still going to take it apart to clean it and re-lube.

 

[1badbird]

Just clicked the link and it says their is 3 left in stock. If I didn't already have a mint condition one I would be all over it.

Got one at 55$ shipping was about three days. MyUSTools was the seller. Seems flawless to me. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[toolman9w]

Bought mine over 15 years ago off a Mac tool truck. $97. Loved it then one day put it down and never used it again. Not real sure why,other than the teeth count is small(maybe).?

 

[firworks]

Just got a email from camelcamelcamel. They're back in stock and down to 49.99$ again!

 

[vertguy]

Mine arrived a couple days ago and with the price back down to 49, I had order one for my son
