I hope SK gets really aggressive in online markets as well as local points. Keep pumping them through ebay, amazon and online tool distributors. Knowing they will be pitted agaist the likes of gearwrench they really need to push hard. It would be nice to see tool truck dealers but they wouldn't be able to do that with online sales. The dealers would just end up being rolling warranty vehicles.

I hope exactly the opposite...because I want them to succeed. The aggressive Internet sales are exactly what killed the company before by undermining all their dealers. Even though the S-K web site sold at list price, heavily discounted S-K sets were all over eBay and Amazon. They can NOT allow that to happen in the future if the want to build a retail distribution system. If they want to set their list prices aggressively, that's fine. But the price you pay at a dealer or retail outlet needs to be VERY close to the best price you can get on the net....or your dealers will quit.
