Title: How's it going for your S-K tools searches?
Post by: bonneyman on Aug 05, 2026, 04:41 PM
Since S-K got bought out by the Chinese I started trying to assemble a second set of all the sockets and drive tools I already have. Just to have a spare set of everything. Within a year and a half all my local sources ran dry. Even my faithful pawn shop in Phoenix came up fairly empty (though I did find a good used 45170 3/8" drive ratchet).

Haven't looked at all for about a year, but I don't expect much of anything. Though we may visit up there this fall and I'll give that pawnie a whirl. Who knows? Maybe I'll find a complete deep metric socket set for $10. lol

Are you guys finding any such stuff in your area?
