Very sorry to hear this news. I have been a loyal SK buyer for over 50
years, some of my favorite tools are SK.
I used to be a loyal Milwaukee tool guy for all of the electric tools (hole
shooter, sawzall, etc.), but they now are Chinese-owned and are not the
same, either.
I also have US-made Proto and Klein and I like them as well, so we will see
what happens...
