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.

+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.
