SK Tools Company History & Lore Unlisted Video
In this video we look at the history of the SK Professional Tools brand.
Originally starting out as Sherman Klove, then becoming SK Tools, SK Wayne, and then back to SK Tools.
See how SK started out an independant company, was bought out by several other companies, only to become independant again, just to be bought out by China...
What does the future hold for SK Tools as a brand?
Can they compete with the tool trucks if they're just rebranded import tools?
