Back in the day the SK ratchets always had by far the finest nicest feeling click. SK could always run with the best, but just failed in marketing them, many young mechanics have never heard of them. Good video.

I have tons of Snap-On and love using their tools, but I'm sorry, $749.00 is absolutely insulting lol.

S*K tools are heirloom tools.. I have my dad’s set... we went to Alaska and back to Maine in a 17’ motorhome back in 1968.
2021 they still work, no replacements.

I've been using the SK Tool 1/4" Drive Socket Set for over thirty years now. This set has served me very well with no issues. I would happily purchase again, if need be.

I bought the Snap-on set 20 plus years ago on special for less than $300. This is my favorite socket set of all time, it’s like a old friend.

You know you need to do this format up to 3/4dr now just don't leave out wright and proto

[jimmunger]

All three makers are top notch. I don’t believe you can go wrong. If you’re a Snap On or Mac owner nothing else will do regardless of price. S-K is great for the cost but is harder to get warranty replacement depending on where you live. Dealing with that right now myself.

I like that SK set even though its ratchet is shorter but the knurling on the handle 🔥

[bluefj-wcvz]

Yeah I got the Snap On a few years back brand new for less than $350. Love the set.
But I agree the SK is a clear winner for USA made value.
Although SO is much easier to warranty with dealers everywhere

I have had the snap-on set since 96.
I have worn out 2 plastic boxes, and just switched to the Milwaukee thin 1/2 size packout.
I removed the smaller sizes of close sizes (like 1/2-13 mm 7/16-11mm etc), and replaced them with swivels.
This set plus a small Knipex plierwrench goes everywhere I go.
I replaced the

Used the SK set at work a ton, loved it but don’t have the money to rationalize buying my own. Bought a cheap knock off SK set and upgraded the ratchet to a Williams. Happy so far, one day I’ll pick up a nice SK set. For 1/4 I don’t have a ton of issue going cheap on the sockets especially with DIY levels of usage, but the nice socket is 100% the game changer and I loved that SK ratchet.

My first ratchet set was an S&K set back in the 70s. Still have most of it.

I do have the SnapOn 1/4 sockets and it is so hard to read the size on them. Yea, I have old eyes, but damn it is hard to read.

[smsediting]

I have the SK set in 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" and I got a free upgrade for each ratchet all I had to do was pay shipping. My SK 1/4" set came with a few more pieces and it came with a thumb wheel ratchet. The SK sets are absolutely perfect

The best is the one you can afford....icon it is for me lol

[felixf]

Coincidentally, my smallest 1/4 is a SK from the time they were owned by Facom. A 72-tooth Facom design made in USA. Not the tightest thing I have, but it sure is small.

[lordleonusa]

I can't justify, or afford! Snap On Tools, but I love my USA made SK sockets etc, they suit this amateur mechanic perfectly. I do have Snap On Ratchets, and like using them, but they can be a bit bulky when working on my small British car. I do like to have a few different ratchets available, including Facom, SK, Milwaukee etc. P S. I was buying my SK sockets when they went Chinese. I refuse to buy Chinese, so I completed my set with Wera.

[craigadamkelly]

I have all three I've had the SK set for 18 years now they're all good tools but Snap-on is the winner by a Longshot the sockets tighter tolerance keeps you from rounding out Fasteners, the thickness of the wall is thinner to get in tighter places, and due to the heat treating it stronger and holds up better, the Finish doesn't come off or peel and the ratchet is Head and Shoulders above the other two I would definitely say the snap-on's worth the money and if I wanted to go cheap I will get the SK set and buy a Snap-on ratchet go with it

15 yrs as a mechanic, 15 yrs selling MAC tools, and a lifetime of wrenching. Prices on MAC and Snap On are stupid, crazy expensive!
Folks gave me a set of SK 1/4 and 1/2 drive sets when I got out of high school (in 1970) I STILL use them to this day! SK is my favorite ratchet hands down, followed by MAC, Snap on in last place. I believe the MAC and Snap on are marginally stronger sockets, but for the home mechanic? SK is plenty strong enough

[johnnyreb]

I've got a full set of SK-WAYNE tool set ivs had since I was a mechanic in the Police garage then transferred to heavy equipment then on to a job as a Plant Mechanic III, served me well through all those jobs, never a problem as I remember

[markusa]

The SK is perfect I bought 3 of them one for work one for home and one for the truck. Not as nice as snap on but great quality and price to bad SK is now owned by a Chinese company but still made in USA
