SK X-Frame SAE Ratcheting Wrenches

[VH5150]

Does anyone want to part ways with their (sell me) 7/16 and 9/16 SK X-Frame Ratcheting wrenches ???

I recently found a Set on Amazon for $199 / Brand new / Country of Origin: USA /.. and when I received them and opened the box (same box as before the company was sold) which still stated "Made in USA" on the top and "Made with USA Steel" on the bottom, the 7/16 and 9/16 were NOT stamped with USA.. which was the whole point in purchasing them in the first place.. to have a "full" USA-made Set of X-Frames.

Yes I know the company was sold.. so that's not where I'm going here. I'm just curious if anyone has those two wrenches and are willing to sell them to me.

I'll post something soon in the Classifieds as well.


Thanks all!

I forgot to mention that I did already reach out to SK to see if by chance they still had those two wrenches .. which unsurprisingly they do not (not the USA stamped ones) have any left.

I'm not going to return the set to Amazon because then I'll run the risk of not having any x-frames that are USA-made. So, thought I'd ask around here if anyone out there has them that they would be willing to sell me.

Haven't seen those two sizes (7 and 9/16) on ebay just yet either.

Thanks everyone..

You may want to check Epsteins site. They sold S-K (and the X-frame wrenches). Maybe they might have some stragglers?

Are the X-frames still made in the USA? Zoro has country of origin as USA but SK's website doesn't mention where they're made. I have heard SK has removed USA from their USA made tools. My guess is so that nobody notices when they start building X-frames and ratchets in China.

I don’t believe they are making anything in house. Possibly they have ratchets and sockets being made in US. Their sales levels are minuscule, and we’re before Ideal shut them down.

You are correct. SK does not make them in the USA anymore. The issue is that Amazon still had it listed as USA, so I hoped I was getting NOS. I did for them most part... except for 2 of the 7 wrenches in the set.

Anyone know if I can put a "Wanted" ad in the Classified section here? Don't want to break the rules...

Looking for that hard to find tool? Or maybe you need that perfect work bench? Maybe you are looking to trade? Post it here.
