I've also looked at some SK tools lately. They seem to be a good American-made tool that won't break the bank if they get stolen or lost. I was also in a hardware store yesterday and was still happy that the Channel Lock pliers are still made in the USA.
i like the Channellock needle nose and oil filter pliers, Klein for dykes and linesman and knipex Cobra and Raptor for water pump style. the old SO and Proto slip joints are going in another box in the cellar for household work now the SK have filled their spot.
Another good specialty plier is the Vampire but you don't need to buy the name the importer branded them, get Engineer Neji-saurus (you can find them on ebay) they are the real manufacturer in Japan.
These are the same tool, the name and grip color is different and the price.
