Funny I am the same way. Only thing with S&K they are hard to get to replace broken tools. I have cracked sockets and broken breaker bars in a box.
Snap and Mac are the line ups that I like to have all matching.

Ok, gotta ask. Do you mean SK tools? Every search for S&K turns up SK, never heard of them referred to as S&K. Just curious.
I no longer build museums but don't want to change my name. My new job is a lot less stressful. Life is much better.

Yes I think it is SK tools. S&K is what my dad always called them, that could be why my online searches are coming up short. They are a dime a dozen around here at flea markets, I’m just impatient to complete a set. The logo on the older ones is like this- S-K

Originally they were S-K Tools, (Sherman-Klove) and most people referred to them as S&K. As a bit of trivia, they were then S-K Wayne for a while. I love them, and I have close to a full set of every tool they made. Sadly no spare 10mm wrench.

AH, makes sense. My dad gave me set of sockets and a few wrenches and I remember SK Wayne. Sorry, no spare wrench.

I'll take a look when I get home. I recently acquired scores of wrenches, most all name brand (MAC, Snap-On, S-K, etc), but mostly SAE, limited metric...
No promises, but will let you know...

If nothing comes up here check that auction site. Some new ones came up in my search.

Home Depot handles SK wrenches. Affordable.
EDIT: Ooops! My apologies. Maybe it was really " HU- SK - Y" tools on their shelves..
