I found an S-K Tools slotted screwdriver at a Tahoe garage sale this morning. I don’t look for these online but they are hard to pass up at garage sale prices.

Got this stuff from my $30 craigslist. Most of a 1/4 deep set, Misc. 3/8 sockets and a wartime 1/2 ratchet.

I don’t have a set although I wouldn’t mind running across one. I do have this picture though. Four.cycle is working on one.

I’ve been making some minimum bids on eBay items and occasionally I win the auctions with no other bids. This mixed S-K set arrived yesterday. It is kind of a mix of vintage and more modern S-K tools but based on the breaker and longer extension I believe it started out as a wartime cad plated set. That is how I plan to complete it.

Well Don, your latest post has me in the regret aisle again.
Thanks.

I’ll bet if you keep watching, you’ll run across another wartime S-K set. Here is one that belongs to a collector in Wales.

Here it is In the ‘53 catalog. I don’t have one of those.Found this SK box with a few 3/8 and 1/4 sockets and other misc SK bits
Sockets look too new, they look to be from a later era than the box....
I will do some research and see if this hypothesis holds

Awesome....
Thanks
And to think, the seller sold some of the contents from this box a la carte.
Piece by piece
I have most of the swivel sockets and the u-joint
Some of the sockets....
The ratchet and extensions sold, but I have the flex handle...

Here is a set with many of the same pieces but the configuration of the box is different.

It looks like they made there 3/8" sets more compact during the late 1950's.

Wow, just wow. I bet that cost you a pretty penny!!! I have never seen any S-K set that nice.

I think I paid about $25.00 for it.
Well that didn't break the bank.

Tappet Wrenches Only: History, Use, and Examples!
INTRO POST 1 of 4 The subject of tappet wrenches comes up frequently on GJ, including brand-specific threads (e.g., most recently in the “Craftsman Long C” thread), the “Show us your DOE wrenches” thread, and plenty of Whatzit? threads. They tend to generate lots of questions. Such as, why...

Yep, Tappets. or for any thin nut that gets sandwiched.
At least one is Long C

IIRC, it went Long C, them -V- with No. 1-4, then -V- with part numbers. And one of those is Duro Chrome (X), with the DC making the "X" symbol in a circle.

I made a minimum bid on this likely pre or early war partial S-K 1/4” drive set. I was surprised that there were no other bids. Unfortunately, the original paint and decal are missing so it will require a wrinkle finish repaint.

^ I think I just came across what I think might be an S-K breaker in a box full of oddball Indestro stuff. (This was a mish-mash I bought because it had some of the bits for my 2820 flex driver in it.)
What do you think? (fairly dark plain steel. fit and finish flawless. too well made to be Oxwall.)
Not sure if I have a set that this breaker belongs in .... it may end up in the "Don pile" later.

Judging by the size of the crossbar hole, that is for sure S-K made.

I found this nice plastic 3/8” drive toolset liner listed on eBay for a reasonable price. I used it to replace my ratty one.

I think shipping boxes full is the leading cause of damage to those liners. Maybe selling them as separate items is the answer.
