 Sockets worked very well Jun 21, 2009
By Warren N. Smith
I bought this socket set for special use on spline drive cap screws. They performed as SK Tools description advertized. Very happy with the set.

 SK Spline Socket Set 94545 Dec 22, 2007
By Glenn A. Crump
"Prof. Gadget"
Appear at first use to be well made tools. Not the same fit-n-finish I have come to expect from this well respected tool manufacturer however. Several of the sockets appear to have been dipped in the chrome finish and have apparent globs of material in the corners of the splines. Not sure that those spots will break away cleanly or will cause future issues getting the socket into use but time will tell....they will eventually be used on a fastener they are sized to fit.
Overall, would consider a good product if the initial fit and finish were there. GAC

Exceptional PROFESSIONAL Grade Sockets! Dec 01, 2007
By Claude H. Suddreth
"Opinion Expert"
Sockets are in my opinion a serious STRONG POINT of the S-K tool line. To the point - S-K makes, in my opinion, some of the very best professional grade sockets to be found anywhere, no matter the brand or the price. Point blank - period - they are comparable to the very best, and as good as it gets.
In my personal tool box I have literally hundreds of sockets. Standard height - tall - chrome - impact - 1/4 - 3/8 - 1/2 - you name it - if you need it to work on a car - good chance it's in there. I have sockets from Snap-On, from MAC Tools, Matco, and Cornwell. And I have sockets from S-K. I would say S-K sockets make up at least 25% of all the sockets I own - and they are absolutely fantastic. They grip bolts with rounded off corners with ease. They will turn anything that the big boys sockets will turn. I have put my impacts on 1/2 inch Dynabrade pneumatic impact guns without any deforming on the square attachment hole. What can I say? THEY WORK! They hold up! And they do everything and anything you ask of them to do.
The WORST think I can say about them is that it IS possible to scratch the chrome on the deep well sockets for example if you use them to loosen up a lug nut on a wheel. I did NOT say scratch THROUGH - just a superficial mark on the chrome itself. Now if you used the impacts instead - that is not a problem. I just needed a thin wall socket because of clearance on a Porsche, and noticed this later. Probably any of the others - no matter the brand - would have gotten a mark also - so I do not criticize them for this. Their Chrome seems to be as hard and as thick as any on my Snap-Ons or Macs.
Now about the ratchet handle itself. Folks Mechanics are fairly finicky when it comes to their personal ratchet handles. This is a tool they use all day long every day. They may have 100 sockets - but I guarantee you every mechanic has a favorite ratchet handle that he uses with all of them. This said - I would be surprised if that ratchet handle happened to be the SK handle included in this set. The reason is purely subjective. This ratchet handle is sturdy, durable, well made, and completely capable of providing years of trouble free reliable use. It has a good grip, and by any measure, is excellent. However.... It just does not "FEEL" right to me - particularly in the "click" that I feel. It feels - what is the right word? Harsh? Beyond this I am not a fan of ratchet handles that select direction by rotating on the centerline of the socket. I prefer the Snap-On / Matco design where there is a separate lever you can easily flip with your thumb - one way - or the other. For MY money - I would buy this set for all of the parts - then buy a Snap-On ratchet handle - keeping the SK handle for a backup. Oh - wait - that is EXACTLY what I did and have in my personal tool box!
All in all - a stellar superstar product - at a price the average home mechanic can afford. I give this product 5 stars - only because I can not give it 6......
Niiiice tools! May 18, 2010
By William Yerazunis
When I was 10 to 15 years old, I'd help out my uncles in their auto-parts store, and the SK tools were the "top of the line" tools they sold. I still have my forty-plus-year-old set of SK six-point sockets, in quarter and three-eighths inch (and yes, a couple of my _old_ circa-1970 sockets showed the "blobs" another reviewer talks about - those are broaching shavings, not chrome, and yes, you can flick 'em out with a pin punch. The new ones don't show any blobs.)
I am glad to report that these new SK tools are, if anything, better than the old ones. The ratchet is smoother, and has a more hand-friendly grip (it's the "Snap-On countour", which SK can now use since the Snap-On patent expired), and the wobble bars are just magic. :) And they're still made in USA. The finish is on par with the Craftsman "professional" fully-polished, or perhaps even a little bit better, like the finish on a Snap-On set (yes, I have a few pieces of Snap-On too).
Whether you prefer a flip-lever for your ratchet reverse or the spin-back is, of course, your own
choice; I slightly prefer the spin-back as on the SK sets as it gives a smaller, easier-to-fit head on the ratchet, but that's minor compared to how cut up my hands get on an as-cast or as-forged wrench handle like the standard Craftsman; yes, I also have the Craftsman full polish ratchet sets.
So, I really like the full polish ratchet in this set; the short bit of knurl is very subdued and doesn't dig your skin up, unlike the 40-year-old SK wrenches of similar design (or the current "standard" Craftsman ratchets- you'll never break a bolt because it hurts your hand too much to pull that hard!).
Note that this set is a "Universal Spline" set- which means they will feel a little loose rotationally compared to a quality 6-point set on a normal bolt. That's OK. These also work on square, twelve-point and spline bolts, like brake caliper and suspension bolts often are, which is why I bought them. It's also nice that this set is "complete"- that is, it has all of the sizes (no skips!) and except for the very small spline sizes, you get both a regular (shallow) socket and a deep socket of the same size; in both metric and English.
Unlike many other socket designs, the deep sockets are not "full depth broached" - the splined area goes only about as deep as a shallow socket goes, then there's a bolt-clearance area that the nut can't fall into. Very nice improvement over everybody else! Thanks, SK! (I think this also strengthens the socket significantly, by not having a long, thin, unsupported tube in the deep spline sockets.)
 Rachet handle is the weak point. Mar 03, 2010
By E. Swanson
If the set included one of their Tuff 1 handles, this would be the best money can buy. The rachet handle design just doesn't have the feel of a fine tool, with the palm control washer "slop", it feels like it is going to come apart. Use it long enough and it will, but all you need is to tighten the screw back up and maybe some blue locktite. Other than the handle, the sockets grip any style of fastener. I really like them for beam clamps for hanging pipe. I would recomend them, with an additional handle.
