Yes unfortunately, but I don't think you will benefit from my experience.
I never did get to talk to a person and both of my warranty requests were
denied.  I have since sold all my SK tools and won't have anything to do
with them.

I have always loved SK tools, particularly for working on motorcycles,
little British cars, etc., where the thin design will fit where other tools
would not.

They have changed ownership and I believe that some of the legacy websites,
etc., may not be staffed.

I believe this is the current site for warranty claims on older SK tools:
SK Tools USA, LLC (skhandtoolllc.myshopify.com)
<https://skhandtoolllc.myshopify.com/apps/product-registration?form=3Dwarra=
nty-claim>

I have a socket set that I got 70 years ago and have never had a problem 
with them.  And they have seen some torque!  Are they no longer quality 
tools?

Very sorry to hear this news. I have been a loyal SK buyer for over 50
years, some of my favorite tools are SK.

I used to be a loyal Milwaukee tool guy for all of the electric tools (hole
shooter, sawzall, etc.), but they now are Chinese-owned and are not the
same, either.

I also have US-made Proto and Klein and I like them as well, so we will see
what happens...

Good ol' Proto.  I have a 15mm box/open end wrench that I found on the 
road.  Brand new looking.  Even better, my metric set skips the 15mm, 
and it just fits the oil drain plug on my Honda.  Lucky me.  Unlucky 
somebody.
