Has anyone else seen SK angle open end wrenches? I have a set 3/8 to1-1/4. Looking around online, and seeing very few of these. Why are they scarce? The set I have is full polish. Any input?

Angle offset wrenches aren't very common to begin with. Add in the fact that SK has changed ownership a number of times means they were only likely produced for a short period of time during one of those periods.

Nice wrenches if you can find them. Any pics?

I don’t have any but I have a funny story about them.
Years back an ad popped up on CL for a set of S-K angle wrenches for $50! I thought wow what an awesome deal. There were just a couple very, very blurry pictures of the wrenches in the ad. They may have been in a pouch, I don’t remember.
The price was awesome so I called the guy and specifically asked him to confirm they were S-K. He said yes, he’d got them off the S-K truck. Okay, good!
I drive to the guy’s house. He’s sitting in a lawn chair in the driveway with the garage open. Yep, got the wrenches right over there.
Turned out they were Sunex! I wanted to sock him right in the nose. I just said thanks but those aren’t S-K and I walked away.

These SK angle wrenches were purchased on eBay before Craigslist became popular. Bought a set from 3/8 to 1-1/4. Chrome looks a little dull. I'll post pics if I remember...
