Alright, seems to be live.

One thing I noticed, the bottle opener rings up as $7.99 instead of the shown $5.99 and the LP90 3/8" Flex-head ratchet rings up as $69.99 instead of $59.99. Everything else I ordered (a bunch) rang up true to what the price shows.

Also, for an extra 26% off the whole order, use code: ITS26OFFSK. It worked for me. Hopefully it works for you guys!

Good luck hunting! :)


The replaceable tip hammer set that's on sale for $70 is a very nice set and myself and many others got it for $25-26 through Amazon 3 or 4 years ago. Still a great buy at this price.

I thought about getting the "30-150 ft. lbs. Dovetail Interchangeable Head Micrometer Adjustable Torque Wrench", but each of the drive heads (1/4, 3/8, 1/2) are about as expensive as the torque wrench itself. Probably still a decent purchase for some, but not worth it for me since I have a number of torque wrenches and the like already. Did buy the "1/4" Dr 2-36 in. lbs. Adjustable Torque Screwdriver" though. Been looking for something that can go really low like this!

My order:

3/8" Flat Chisel x 2 (at $3/piece I consider these cheap workhorses)
SK Socket Bottle Opener x 1 (since it doesn't look like I'm gonna get the Knipex one :( )
3/8"Female-1/2"Male Drive Chrome Adapter x 1 (always nice to have more of these around)
12" Rolling Head Prybar x 1
33" 1/2" Drive 1/2F-3/8M Locking Impact Adapter x 1(been wanting a super long extension!)
3 Piece 3/8" Drive Locking Impact Extension Set x 1
1/4" Drive 2-36 in. lbs. Adjustable Torque Screwdriver x 1
Impact Mechanics Gloves - Large x 1
3/8" Drive LP90 Flex Head Teardrop Ratchet 11 inch x 1


After 26% discount, tax, etc. Total is $293.29.

I may reach out to SK later to get the prices on the bottle opener and ratchet corrected. I already feel like I got a hellofa deal, but if they'll do it for me then why not?

Hope your ratchet is better than the one I got on Epstein Days. Horrible backdrag even after lubing it. I should have sent it back.

Hopefully it's not that bad. I don't mind backdrag as much as most others, but probably because I spent a lot of time using low tooth-count ratchets with a ton of backdrag over the years, so my tolerance for it is way higher. I am hoping to pick up a Ko-Ken and Nepros ratchet or two, which may ruin me for all my others...

Looks like if you add it to your cart the sale price shows up in cart.

Yeah, it wasn't showing, even in the cart, until a short while ago. But now it works! :D

Edit: Looks like the ratchet is now showing up at $59.99. Sent them an email. I guess patience is a virtue, just didn't wanna miss out this time!

Really wanted that Flex head socket set but no where to add to your cart? May have to call them.

Did order the Bottle opener and 12" rolling prybar.

Picked up a few things, even got free shipping and saved a little more with a birthday code SK sent me earlier in the month. :beer:

Nice! I'm also a January baby but ended up using "ITS26OFFSK" for 26% off the whole order vs the birthday code for 25% off one item. Perhaps see if you can get your order updated with that code or cancel it and re-order with this code? Switching codes saved ~$70!

It only let me add to my cart once I logged in. If you log in suddenly it becomes available to add. It's the oddest thing!

Any luck adding the 3/8" Drive LP90 Flex Head Teardrop Ratchet 11 inch to your cart? All I get is a "coming soon".

You need to log in first, then it'll let you add it to your cart.

Don't forget to use "ITS26OFFSK" for 26% off the whole order.

Hmm.. the ITS26OFFSK code is not taking. Are you by chance a paid member of the SK socket of the moth club?
I am finding the ITS26OFFSK offer works but not with items on the "steals and deals" web page. If you have items in your shopping cart that are not on the "steals and deals" web page, the ITS26OFFSK offer works but only on those items.

They appear to be having some inventory issues with their computer system. If you are having problems buying the "3/8" Drive LP90 Flex Head Teardrop Ratchet 11 inch", use this link and click "add to cart". Basically you are searching using the part number. That seems to work.

I guess they must've updated the system as it worked for me earlier today, but that was right as the steals & deals went online. I'm just a regular member, not a paid member. Owning sockets not part of a set hurts my soul. Haha

Glad you were able to add the socket. At $60 it's still a steal!

Anyone have any experience with those socket rails? I can’t say that I’ve seen ones like that before. They look like they are for wrenches?

I think that's a Typo, it's actually a stubby wrench rack if the picture is right. For two bucks, I'll let you know when mine arrives. :lol:

Dang, I got busy earlier and didn't submit my order. The 26% off code was working but when I came back it wouldn't take it anymore. :(

When I try to add something to the cart it just says “adding”. Then try to look at the shopping cart and it says “502 bad gateway”

I think something is up on their end. Even just trying to log into my account takes me to a 502 message page.

What a mystery. They describe it as a socket holder, include a photo of a wrench rack, and send you...something green.

I have several of the wrench racks (made by Ernst I think). I'm curious to find out what your mystery item actually is.

UPS already brought my first Steals order - got everything except one of the dead blows (ordered 2) - they are smaller than expected, but will still be handy - especially for $15! Made a separate order for a couple flex LP90's on Monday morning also - those have not shown up yet? Also ordered a couple chisels, bottle openers, bolt rattler, 3/8-1/2 adapter, and the rolling prybar. Overall pretty pleased with this batch from SK! Can't wait for next month :)

Mine came today by itself. Ordered several other things but only the wrench rack showed up. I like it, especially for the price.

So, what the hell is this thing? I thought it was an improperly described stubby wrench holder, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

It is a stubby wrench rack made by Ernst. It may look different than a regular wrench rack but, that's it.

I was hoping that the picture was wrong and the description was right, and I'd get an older SK green plastic socket rail. No such luck though, :lol:

Thank for sharing all of this. I haven't checked out the latest steal and deals, but I have an older set of SK stubby wrenches, metric, 10 pieces, actually, that I literally need this tray for.

I am actually setting up my new toolbox (more to follow) and realized that I needed this last night. Serendipitous on SK's part and this forum guiding the way.

Your already receiving your orders? Mine says still pending when I check the website is this normal? I ordered the first morning the D&S became available I think it was last Monday.

They are pretty haphazard about updating when shipped. I have had items in my mailbox shown pending. They are pretty good about responding to emails requesting order status within a day or so.

No wonder the shipping costs are high, second item, second box, one more to go.

Strange, I got 2 separate boxes today with one part of the order in each box. Still need like 4 things on the order.

I've received 3 separate boxes on 3 separate days, still missing my chisels. Order still says pending on SK.
