I've got a bunch of S-K mid-length sockets purchased in the early '80s 
and they're incredibly useful.

I've got this 20yo Facom torque wrench (same corporate parent as SK I 
think) and (a) it's marked only in Frog and (b) its ratchet has decided 
it doesn't want to be reversed.  It's basically just occupying space in 
the tool drawer now.
