SK
HAND TOOLS
The Tools
for Success.
It began in Chicago
in 1921. That's when Sherman-Klove Screw Products Company began
to manufacture precision tools for the then emerging automotive industry.
It didn't take long for Sherman-Klove to develop a reputation as
a world class producer of automotive tools.
In 1923, the company
was purchased by John McDonough, an industrialist with strong marketing
instincts. It was in that same year that McDonough first suggested
selling tools in sets. With this revolutionary market approach,
SK Hand Tool was born.
At the end of 1985,
FACOM Tools of France acquired SK Hand Tool in a bid to enter the U.S.
Market. FACOM is Europe's largest tool manufacturer and one of the
top innovative tool companies in the world with 13 manufacturing facilities
worldwide. SK is now celebrating ten years of successful partnership
with FACOM.
Selection.
The SK line has grown
from 750 items in 1985 to more than 3,000 mechanic's individual hand tools
and sets today. Many SK tools include value-added features available
only from SK: such as, the patented SureGrip hex design for sockets and
wrench box ends; our SureGrip extension locks and SureGrip retaining ring
plier tips; and our SuperKrome full-polish wrenches and sockets. Value
also means offering unique and innovative products from FACOM, our parent
company. Products like the Ergotwist ergonomic screwdrivers, Comfort-Grip
punches and the Micro-Tech line of precision electronic tools.
Innovation.
SK's commitment to
serving the professional tool user means responding to their changing
needs. SK is committed to continue growing its product offering
through its own R&D staff and association with our sister companies.
