In search of S-K lectrolite

Lostmind · November 25, 2015, 08:49:18 AM

Lots of SK to be found in my area , almost 0 lectrolite of any kind.
Always an education on this forum, thanks for sharing

The adjustables are kind of cool in the sense I don't recall ever seeing one up here. See a fair amount of wrenches marked lectrolite but no sockets or adjustables.

Thanks for all the comments guys, from research on other forums and around the web I'm pretty sure the pieces of the set were only marked S-K and not S-K Lectrolite so now I need to find a picture of that set so I can start filling up my box I already have an S-K 1/2" ratchet and I may have 1 or 2 of the sockets so I just need to find the rest.

Although I've never seen a set nor a catalog description I wouldn't be surprised if that box also contained a few wrenches also.
Just an assumption based on both logos being on the box.

I think so too, It would make sense. Does anyone know how to access to catalogs on the alloy artifacts site? I cant get them to open.

I have a series of the 3/8" SK / Lectrolite 3/8" sets. (So far 5 sets, I think.)
3 sets are handy, I'll post when I get home.

As far as I know, you can't access any catalogs on AA.

I've been remiss (or, otherwise occupied) in posting more catalogs to my site. I have a ton but just haven't found the time to scan and post them. Been focused more on the tools thus far.

I doubt wrenches were included in the set. I think the inclusion of lectrolite on the label was intended just to show that they were now one company.

Here is the 3/8" set with a couple of cousins. The sockets are 3/8 and 1/4".

Larger are a little over 11", smaller is 9-1/2" long. I have a few more around here somewhere. At one point I was going to collect 1 from each type / label.

The tools in that gold box are in excellent shape.

Those are all very nice Chilly. Did you get them complete or did you have to hunt a little.

JUNK-MAN · December 08, 2015, 08:37:47 PM

Are the tools marked S-K, Lectrolite or both?

About what date was Lectrolite named wrenches phased out?

This is what is inside of the 1964 SK-Wayne catalog. I think we must assume early 1964 was the end of Lectrolite. http://toolarchives.com/node/1653

and 65 was the beginning of western forge IIRC so 64 sounds right.
