To paraphrase the great Mark Twain, “The reports of S-K’s death are greatly exaggerated.”

Recently, rumors have been circulating that S-K Hand Tools had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. That’s simply not true, according to Cliff Rusnak, S-K’s executive VP. He does think the report was spawned by the Chapter 11 filing of S&K Famous Brands (http://cantorarkemapc.com/sandk-famous-brands.php).

In addition to not having filed for bankruptcy, S-K has recently released several new tools, including a new hammer set, sockets, and a full range of new dial torque wrenches.

Watch for more new products from S-K in the coming months in PTEN and our Online Buyers’ Guide.

A comprehensive auto diagnostic kit, featuring a variety of connectors to suit any need.

The new N.O.S. work boots from Coastal Boot include sewn-in flames on the toe and heel leather and are available from your Snap-on Tools distributor.

What kind of features do you look for when you’re buying work lights and flashlights to use around the shop?

Do you prefer a certain brand? Look for specific features, like pick-up tools? How about a certain size, power, brightness, or whether it’s rechargeable?

For those of you willing to share an opinion, I’ll choose the single best response and send that writer a new Mayhew Tools 4-piece Angled Scraper Set.

Let me know what you think.
