Good tools, but a dealer is not always accessible to replace stuff like other more popular brands.

They are very good and they do have a lifetime warranty. I had to warranty a tool through the mail with them and they were very easy to deal with. Highly recommended.

I think that SK is made by the frogs but they are great tools. When my family had a shop the SK guy came around once a week and there is a large dealer in town. Their sockets and wrenches are my very favorite (especially the 6 points). The screwdrivers are also pretty good. I don't much like the mechanism on the ratchet I have though. I have replaced a few screwdrivers with their warranty and I hammered the crap out of a few sockets and had to replace them, no problems.

probably about the best sockets and wrenches for your money. Much better quality then craftsman.

Actually they were owned by the french and the tool designs they used from Facom where great. Facom tools are some of the best.

+1 for SK, we used them in my high school shop class and I was a big fan of thier sockets and rathets. I had one 18mm 3/8 socket live through quite a bit of hell on the end of a high end IR impact with a reducer to break free rusted suspension parts on an old VW. eventally I split the socket, but I was suprised with how much it went through before it broke.
