He went in a few weeks ago to have a rachet repaired.
The store cannot even get repair kits from SK anymore!
Seems like the new ownership has cheapened the product
as well as making warranty and repairs difficult to
impossible. I personally am going to shy away from SK
tools going forward. Sadly, I think they are a shell of
what they used to be.</div>
