Default SK tools...

Anyone use SK tools? Seems like their between Craftsman Professional and Snap On. They say they are SuperKrome finish, but is that actually chrome? Do you have to find a dealer to return them if they break like Snap On? www.skhandtool.com

SK tools are good stuff. I have many tools from them, and love them all. you are right, most people see SK as better than Craftsman, but not quite Snap On. I think that they are great tools for the money.

All I have in my garage is S&K and Snap-On. I say that they are the same quality as each other, and S&K is a $hit load cheaper. Plus if an S&K tool breaks the dealer lives in my town

I have a few SK tools, their definitely great quality for the price...as far as returns, does it mention anything on their website? Their used to be a "USA Tools" dealer that came to one of the shops that I worked at, and he sold SK Tools...he used to take guy's broken sockets, etc.

SK SureGrip screwdrivers are the best on the market!! They make very nice tools for a pretty good price.

Anyone have any experience with their torque wrenches?

they're good stuff. a lot of their stuff is a lot cheaper than the "big 3," but just as good. the only thing that i wouldnt use is sk's wrenches. the open ends tend to "stretch," snap on wrenches are the way to go, IMO.

I have warrantied some stuff through SK by sending it to them (mail) to their Chicago address. They were painless to deal with. highly recommended.
