Meet The NEW SK Tools LP90 Ratchet!!!

Meet The NEW SK Tools LP90 Ratchet!!!
This is the brand new, recently released, SK Tools LP90 80200 90 tooth ratchet. It's been years since SK tools was seen as a competitor to the likes of snap on tools, Mac tools, and Matco tools but with their release of the lp90 lineup it marks a change where we see SK Tools rise as an affordable American made alternative to the big dogs. For the longest time, SK Tools have only ever made round head ratchets (SK did offer one when they were owned by Facom but I don't think it was USA made) so it's definitely nice to see them step up and create something new. SIT BACK while we have a look at what SK tools have created. SUPPORT AMERICAN MADE and enjoy the review!

Meet The NEW SK Tools LP90 Ratchet!!!

[@GarnettTools]

For anyone interested in picking up this ratchet, links are in the description.

[@lNOFXlCronier]

Garnett-Tools where's our promised comparison video? :-P

[@GarnettTools]

+Jacques C definitely coming! I've had the Snap-on for over a year, it's only fair to put the SK through the ringer, it'll make for a better comparison.

[@heavychevy383]

hey buddy... 2 questions for ya... 1 have u done a comparison video between the sk & snapon yet? (cause ive looked & cant find it?) & 2 how is this ratchet holding up? im a long time sk user & im interested in this ratchet, but ive heard some negatives, so itd be good to know if its held up well? ...really enjoy ur videos, thanx & god bless man!

[@pico67ss]

Are there similarities between these and the proto p 90

[@paedahe4975]

@@GarnettTools Do they still make these with the green switch? Can’t find your link. Thx bud. ✌️

[@justind6039]

I absolutely do not need another ratchet. I'm absolutely going to get me one.

[@GarnettTools]

+Justin D LMAO, I bought it as soon as I found out about it even tho I have already have a Snap-on F80

[@winger46146]

What do you like better F80 or the SK?

[@bobclavi]

i hope its not i bad tool. i just ordered one

[@RANS87IROCZ]

Justin D same, it's like I have crack addiction or some shit I don't know why I can't say no to the tool guy or resist another and seeing this vid don't help it

[@carlitosgy6]

Is a sickness, the truck guy smells it

[@bobbelttari1437]

I have my grandfather's SK 3/8" round head rachet. I opened it up after decades of service. It was beautiful, no visible wear. It's my favorite rachet.

[@harleyadam4813]

I've always liked SK Tools. They're tough as hell and they're priced incredibly competitively. What a great combination.

[@GarnettTools]

+Harley Adam I know, Affordable quality!

[@noangel3652]

Harley Adam amen brother preach it

[@whatfreedom7]

When I first got into my field about 16 years ago I bought a SK 1/4 and 3/8 socket ratchet set. I'm still using them today. I've never had a issue at all. No breaking except one socket because I put a huge breaker bar on it which completely understandable. No chrome flaking I've never once had one jam or skip. I think their damn good for the price but they were bought a few years back and I haven't used the new stuff yet. Funny thing is Snap On came in and saw my tools and tried to rag on me but mine are waaayy cheaper and maybe even more reliable.

[@Nothingtoya]

They want over $90 for this ratchet and theyve cheaped out on the green now

[@GarnettTools]

Read the description bud it's $56 from HJE. LINKS ARE ALWAYS IN THE DESCRIPTION.

[@edspencer7121]

I'm 50 years old and been using SK socket sets since I was 4. Hard to beat! Glad SK upped there game on this ratchet. It'llbe a welcome addition to the tool box. Excellent video/review btw👍

[@patcb829]

I'm sure I am in the minority but I wish that grip was knurled like the older SKs. In my opinion they had that knurling perfect.

[@GarnettTools]

I dont think you're in the minority, Many say they want it and SK currently have a mock up of a knurled handle version. But I personally like the smooth handle and of coarse the price tag!

[@redneckrollercoast1]

Pat Clark-Barnes well said. rough enough to grip when greased up but smooth enough to feel good in the hand.

[@schmojo33]

I'd like to see SK with a contoured knurled handle.

[@marklokken1378]

Pat Clark-Barnes knurled collects grease and grime. Not to easy to clean if your doing auto work. But a good grip is desirable

[@MR-nl8xr]

acetone and degreaser.

[@fredstroh4308]

My father passed down a set of combination wrench set and a set of s&k socket set back in 1969. Still works as good as the first day I got them.

[@clutteredchicagogarage2720]

Since I've lived in Chicago since the late 1990s, I have a soft spot for SK tools. Because they started out in Chicago, there have been huge amounts of SK tools sold in the Chicago area over the years. You can go to flea markets in and around the city and find old SK tools that are still very usable because they've always made very high quality and durable tools. I think their best design was actually the original style SK pro round-head ratchets. The ratcheting and reverse mechanisms on these are very reliable and stay smooth for a very long time in between cleanings. If you keep them clean, they can last for years before you need to open them up, clean out old grease, and then lubricate them again. Back around 2002, I visited their old factory in Brighton Park hoping to trade in a very very old ratchet (possibly 1940s or so) that had a worn reverse mechanism. The guys at the factory told me to take it to their distribution center in the suburbs. I went there next, and the people in the office let me trade it in for a brand new 1/2 inch drive SK pro ratchet, which I still use to this day. I've purchased other SK tools new over the years. I love both SK sockets and SK combination wrenches because they're a tiny bit thinner than tools from most other manufacturers, which allows them to get into certain very tight spots in car engine compartments that are not accessible with other tools. This new ratchet looks like a quality tool, but (1) I worry that the reverse mechanism may not stand the test of time and may become rough with age, but this is just speculation on my part. (2) I really appreciate when ratchets have a quick release (although old SK pros don't have these either) and (3) I like when pear-head ratchets have a recessed reverse-direction selector. With all that said, this is probably a great ratchet. I just don't know if it will still be great after 20 years of use. I know for a fact that my old SK pro round head ratchets will still work great after 20 years as long as I don't abuse them.

[@themotofixery]

made in USA! sold!

[@workingshlub8861]

did not know sk was still around...one of my old tenants gave me a bunch of sk ratchets and sockets about 15 years ago...he was an army helicopter mechanic for 20 years and he retired to florida. he knew i liked shadetree mechanic work so he gave them all to me..they work great and no issues at all.

[@HifiVega]

Caught this video in my recommendations and I gotta say you've done a great job on this video! History and in depth analysis... You earned my subscription! 👍🏼

[@GarnettTools]

Thanks, I really appreciate it!!!

[@noangel3652]

I've owned my SK ratchet set since 1976 and is still my favorite. Still have my SK open and closed wrench set from 1976 too,best tools ever!

[@TexasGTO]

This man's finger nails tells me he spends a lot of time in the garage. Well done!

gosh dang it! every video is out of the park buddy! thanks for showing us the new SK ratchet! you rock 😁🍻🥓🇺🇸

[@ColdensCustoms]

I agree!

[@HardKnocksForge]

150 likes? That didn't take long. I can't wait to get my hands on one of these. I love SK tools. Snap On is only king of the hill when it comes to cost.

[@GarnettTools]

+Hard Knocks Forge Yeah many put the snap-on on a pedestal, but Nepros has the most expensive production 3/8 drive ratchet in the world, 500 bucks a pop!

[@HardKnocksForge]

Yep, it's like a bunch of women gushing over Victoria secret underwear. When everyone knows the best underwear is actually the ones you can eat.

[@anandarochisha]

I have SK tools from the early 70's when i started doing mechanical work . I have 2 S-K 1/2 inch drive round head ratchets and have never rebuilt them. The wrenches are top shelf tough. I have a lot of Snap On too, and the S-Ks were worth every dime. In 20 years from now i will have to decide which of my nephews will get them, and likely they will still have a full set to hand to their kids.

[@prevost8686]

I’m all for SK making it. They’ve been a great American company.

[@RussNavara]

sweet that's a good looking ratchet thank you for the info I like watching your videos for all the information thank you for sharing

[@GarnettTools]

I know, I love it. Thanks for watching! I'm glad you appreciate my efforts.

[@albert333pool]

I'm far from being a mechanic. Or rarely work on things unless they need to be fixed but I find these videos soothing! I think I'm entering a new phase in age (gonna be 47)... Tools are my new thing ⚙️🛠️

This guy's dirty fingernails tells me that he is a working man. :-)

[@emmanuelortiz2490]

Yup yup but sadly most of modern society doesn't seem to see that ... They see eww dirty man he dont know how to shower or clean his hands

[@KaiZen999XXX]

Emmanuel Ortiz It is true though. A simple clean after work isn’t hard. Can’t clean my cuts away but I can with dirt.

[@rookiexreviews]

Ya lol lately I’ve been getting get dirty sticky oily old 87 gt shmooo all over me don’t get me wrong love it but still clip and clean my finger nails hes clearly a single man lol nice tools dirty fingys has single or pre divorce written all over that said this wrench looks like a skookum choocher Im doing the jazz hands routine to get 3/8 baddd mammajama on way to my doorstep

[@rueridge7597]

I still have my SK tool ratchets from the 70s. They have never slipped busted my knuckles or had to be replaced. They can be a pain in the butt in a tight spot to reverse so this looks interesting

[@marklokken1378]

I've always like the combination wrenches. Glad they are stepping it up

[@05blkrado]

I work in a shop for a profession and I have snap on ratchets, watching this video and knowing this exists makes me want to try it out. Maybe in a week or so I'll buy one and maybe do a real work review on it or get with you and you can make a video

[@mikemcelveen2973]

Its nice to see American jobs making an American product thats affordable! Ordering mine after the video is over!

[@heavychevy383]

...long time SK fan here! ...been using their tools for years... had some of em for several decades now... great products! thanx for the review

[@MarkFox]

You absolutely put out the best hand tool videos, very professional looking. I plan on picking up the 1/4" drive models when they release them 3 or 4 years from now.....

[@GarnettTools]

+Mark Fox Thanks Mark! You obviously know how SK works Lol

[@anthonygm85]

Been using mine for 4 years maybe,I missed the original lunch so I painted the switch green and clear coated it, it holds ups very well I grap it more then my snap on f80 simply because the handle length is a 1/4 or 1/2 in longer. The snap on is a bit smother. I taken the the lp90 from the garage to automotive manufacturing and dyno testing

[@bobbyw9046]

Nice review! It's about time SK stepped up to the plate - looks like a winner!

[@GarnettTools]

Yes, I love this thing

[@dtailsandpics]

I came across your vid while looking for a new ratchet. Great vid! My first socket set when I was a kid was a S&K in the metal green box.

[@davidwilson3647]

Thanks a lot, only video I could find of how the spring & pin go in - I know it seems so simple once you do it, but I didn't know

[@andrewregailo6054]

I also had to dismantled this ratchet because mine was locking up...noticed that its from the green paint left inside the hole that tiny bearing and spring sits in. Bearing was just getting stuck, cleaned it out and works perfect! ( I used 1500 grit sandpaper )

[@dirk4926]

I wish these had been around when I was turning wrenches for a living. I'd still like to buy one to replace my old SK 1/4" drive ratchet, but only if I can also get a new blow molded case to fit my sockets and the new pear shaped ratchet.

[@larryspires8615]

SK is a great tool. Only issue with them is that you have to send off what breaks in order to get it warrantied. I live in Georgia and I'm also a automotive technician so being able to get tools warrantied in a timely manner is a huge issue and yes I have more than one ratchet but you always have a favorite that you pickup before anything else.

[@TheSnapOnToolReview]

Wicked bro. I'm happy SK is making a decent Ratchet now. Much better than my old one I have.

[@GarnettTools]

+The Snap-On Tool Review Yes, time to trade up!!! Put that old thing on eBay.

[@natedog51]

Looked for a review of the Proto Flex 72 tooth ratchet and found this review. Glad I watched, because the presentation was great and informative.

[@GarnettTools]

Thanks I'm glad you liked it, more to come

[@8luggarage]

Great video. About 15 years ago I bought a old pickup for the transmission. When I took the seat out I found a big half inch drive sk ratchet. It's tough as can be. I have no idea how old it is. The truck sat for a long time. But that ratchet is my go to ratchet hands down.. however I'd love to get a 80200 for a 3/8 drive.

[@youfoundisaac]

I've been waiting a long time for this ratchet; but I have to say the camera work on this video earned you a subscriber, really great work

[@GarnettTools]

youfoundisaac Thanks 👍

[@cctvspystore]

Now SK just needs to add a locking flex head w/ cushion grip

[@Paul37Ontario]

And a push button lock on for the socket. Then it would be perfect. Its really hard to find one with all these features, I'm still looking.

[@MrTheHillfolk]

Paul L As long as the socket doesn't fall back off after releasing the button when it's supposed to hold a socket, like a craftsman does.

[@Paul37Ontario]

---you really need the lock. I wouldn't buy a ratchet without a push button lock. When you have extensions on the ratchet it can get heavy and your extensions and sockets can fall off. Same as the extensions, you can get extensions that lock on your socket. So useful on working on modern cars where you don't want to loose a socket down in the engine bay because you can spend a lot of time looking for your socket.

[@MrTheHillfolk]

Paul L that's what I was saying .. the lock lets go at the most inopportune time (long extension in a hole) and you didn't even touch the button. So if they fix that I'd consider trying a locker style. First time it released by itself, I'd drive by the factory and bust a window out with it as I threw it back to them.

[@xenonram]

MrTheHillfolk I've never had a problem with the button having such a light actuation pressure that the socket falls off. The actuation pressure on then ones we've had/have is pretty strong; definitely not light enough to actuate as easily as you described.

[@DIRTDIVER882]

u know, as many times as i have used a ratchet to get my truck back up & running & maintained i have nvr ever not once knew how the ratchet worked technically anyway 👍👍👍👍 got a new sub my friend.

[@GarnettTools]

+DIRTDIVER882 Thanks, it may be a testament to how well your Ratchet works that you've never had to open it up, so it must be reasonably good. Thanks for watching!👍

[@scubbarookie]

I just subscribed. I really like the way you describe the items being featured. My favorite parts are when you go into the historic significance of the companies that have made these tools. Great channel! Very detailed consistent. Thank you for your time and efforts.

[@hochhaul]

Great review! I like that you took the time to tear it down. I'm ordering my LP90 tonight after watching your vid!

[@dosbox907]

man, Ive been talking shit about sk ratchets for so long. finally they put out something modern.

[@joemcmillan1884]

I have a ton of s-k tools been using them for years great tools but that new Ratchet is bad Ass and sweet looking.

[@devinsmith4151]

The thing I like about Dual 80's is that they come with many different lengths. Most of them make bugger all noise at all.

[@GarnettTools]

+Devin Smith Yeah, Snap-on have way more options when it comes to styles.

[@danohstoolbox]

I have have the sk mini 1/4 drive I have had over 20 years and have never had a problem with it I love it and now most of my 1/4 drive sockets are now sk I still have a few snap on most notably the 5/8 deep and shallow bought them used the only socket I am missing in the metric set is 4.5 deep and my standard set has more sockets then my tray will hold I have some of the 32 sizes that u no longer get great review Garnett thank you for the info

[@GarnettTools]

+Dan Bates Thanks, no problem 👍🏾 I was recently thinking about picking up some SK 1/4 drive sockets my Craftsmans are starting to wear out and there's just no point trying to find a Sears anymore.

[@danohstoolbox]

Garnett-Tools I have some new videos up I am going to do a new tool box tour once I have them all sorted out I have 4 uprights that are as tall as me don't know if I will use them all yet going to sell off some of what I don't need

[@danohstoolbox]

pawn shops and garage sales are our best bet

[@wolfcomau9623]

Great stuff keeping up with the latest tools.

[@asmautollc]

Awesome. Looking forward to the flex head and rumored 100 tooth roto. 👍

[@MrAnonymousRandom]

Looks amazing. Even though I have too many ratchets I want one. This new ratchet will fill the vacuum left by Armstrong's maxx ratchets now that Armstrong is no longer in business. Beats paying 2-3 times for the Snap on equivalent.

[@GarnettTools]

+CarEnthusiast Yes, this is probably one of the best Affordable American made options now.

[@snaponjohn100]

Thank you for giving us a brief history of the company. That is always very interesting. God bless you. John

[@TomcatAL200]

I really wish they'd kept the green anodized lever. One of my favorite line of ratchets, too bad they don't make them here anymore

[@stever5887]

It's great that S-K made a ratchet that looks like other professional ratchets, has a high tooth count and doesn't have that miserable knurled handle. The handle on my S-K 45170 drove me to a Snap-on F730 ratchet (long story) back in 1982. By comparison, the Snap-on was light-years ahead in design, operation and comfort. Perhaps this design will bring back others who had tried but left the brand. Nice fix on that spring tensioner, too. It was interesting that the internals were not greased, but instead had a coating of light oil. I think I would open it up and place some Super Lube in the cavity, which would make the gearing a tad smoother and quieter.

[@MrCoffeekelly]

the old sk ratchets are my favorites and I hope they continue to make them. I will be getting one of these to try out though. edit... I just looked at the price on the sk site, forget that!

[@GarnettTools]

+MrCoffeekelly Watch the rest of the video it's $58, links are in the description of the video. I'm pretty sure they will continue to make the round heads but like anything, their offerings are subject to change.

[@jboss628]

Usually only use a 1/4 drive in aviation so I’ll wait. Started buying Sk tools do to being made in America. Which most tool maker have now shifted to overseas.

[@jamesoconnor6323]

Nice thorough job! Good field fix, too.

[@blipco5]

Nice looking tool. I'm not crazy about using aluminum for the selector lever but the overall shape and size of the ratchet was long overdue.

[@Jtels85]

This is the best tool review I have ever watched. I can’t wait to pick up a set! Good job

[@wayneh3021]

Nice review...thX 4 sharin ! If I may suggest, using a tool grease instead of a oil, oil tends to break down faster an doesnt last as long, grease tends to last an can be a protectant from dirt and water or moisture 🤓👍👍

[@frank2398]

Dammit, I respect a man who reviews tools that has that much shit under his fingernails! Nicely done.

[@upsidedowndog1256]

Welcome to 1990 SK! That is a sweet tool, really nice. I have some SK tools and like them a lot. Nice video. Sounds like I am on prozac.

[@GarnettTools]

Lol I Know, why did they wait so long? who knows...

[@douro20]

They used to make hand tools for NAPA. I wonder what happened to all those tools they were forced to return when they changed product lines?

[@TrojanHorse1959]

S&K stands for, Slip & Kill. That handle feels comfortable because it is a copy of the Snap On ratchets. I gave up on their tools a long time ago as almost every S&K tool that I ever purchased, broke. or wore out prematurely.

[@jerrykruger]

I have vintage set of their hex and torx bits. not impressed at all

[@GarnettTools]

Sorry, I have both. The handle is nowhere near a copy of Snap-on's.

[@AKJeeper]

I can't wait for the flex head versions to be released.

[@GarnettTools]

+AKJeeper Me either, but I have no clue when that's gonna be.

[@pyromedichd1]

The old round head SK ratchet is probably one of the strongest ever made. Ratchets like their new one is much like what Snap-On has had for years. The pawls are the weak point. We'll see how the new one holds up. It does look like a nicely made piece.

[@Pro1er]

Very good observations. I would like to add that the handle looks a bit short and maybe a bit thin, and I agree, the selector switch scratching up the finish needs to be addressed, I have some high-end ratchets that do the same thing and I don't like it. Oh, and I also agree that the placement of the SK logo is too high.

[@dcoslet1]

Good job as usual I use silglyde I think that's the spelling in my ratchets it's a silicone lube for garage doors but works good in heads

[@LynxStarAuto]

Meshed is the word you were looking for. Internally, it looks very similar to the Snap On dual 80's. Also, instead of oil, try synthetic grease. Will make it silky smooth.

[@dcfan1107]

Love SK wrenches, screwdrivers and sockets, but I never liked their ratchets...they always seemed cheap to me. I definitely don't need another ratchet, but I may need to add one more SK tool to my collection.

[@intraw831]

The pawl mechanism reminds me of the ones from the Mac axis ratchets

[@FCAutos]

Great video! Congrats!

[@SuperNytube]

Nice review. Now I want one of these ratchets

[@weekenddiyer4249]

Thanks Rob! I'm Pittsburgh born and raised and I know a few people up your way. The comparison vid will be up soon👍

[@MFitz717]

I've been waiting for this ratchet for so long. Can't wait to get my hands on one. I'd really like to get the 1/4 one

[@GarnettTools]

+MFitz717 I was going to hold out until the flex came out but I saw they only released the one so far and I just had to buy it, now I want them to make long ones.

[@More_OhSo]

I like the short height of the head. Just wondering if the short height and 90 fine teeth will hold up when push goes to pull.

[@MorrowSind]

Nice! Great review. I thought it was cool we got an internal and external view of what SK has put together.

[@heavychevy383]

acording to SK the lp90 has had an "UpDate" to address the problematic selector switch... if i understood their email correctly, the green switch is the old style (relative term on a new ratchet) & the re-designed selector switch is now plain ol silver... so now, being a long time sk user, ive gotta have one... thanx

[@thebackwoodsmechanic5029]

I love SK tools and prefer their sockets over Snap On but I was also someone who wanted this ratchet

[@GarnettTools]

Maybe take a look, they have the whole lineup out now

[@martinschaffmeir7729]

Hey again sir very nice post. To me, as a old S-K type guy the attractive part of them is the handle it's much more comfortable than the other brands, seems like they copied the type I don't like

[@leonardgilbreath9004]

I didn't know that S/K was still available the pall looks stronger than Snap On and Craftsman I've can't say how many times I've had to have my snap on fixed and had to go to Sears to replaced now just finding where to find em.

[@wes4465]

You broke your Snap-on ratchets? How? I've never broken not even the super high tooth count ratchets from Snap-on before, and I've done some very very inconsiderate things to that poor ratchet.

[@whatfreedom7]

Leonard Gilbreath I've only broke one and it was a MAC with two piece head design.

[@TomGunnTools]

Awesome looking ratchet. I'm going to hold out for the 1/4 flex head. Thanks for making another great video. You will have 150 likes in a day, can't wait to see comparison video.

[@BullittOutdoors]

Awesome review! Big fan of SK and the last thing I need is another SK ratchet so I cannot wait until the flex heads become available

[@elguapo3992]

1st time viewer. Excellent job on presenting. Will seek your other videos

[@greghanlon2235]

I love SK tools. Bought a 1/4 and a 3/8 set in the 70s and still use them today. Used them professionally for 5 years and even with heavy air ratchet use never a broken socket. The 1/4 ratchet is still perfect. F all the Snap-on groupies... you overpaid.

[@Amorget]

The internals of that look a lot like the Armstrong Maxx/Craftsman Professional series ratchets, including the sticking selector. Any idea on what differentiates them except the tooth count?

[@Semnyi]

good review. nice work. I may consider sk for my next ratchet. im saving up for their x frame wrenches. its very convenient for me to use the snap on tool truck that comes by every week. I've asked sk several times for info on a dealer and I have heard there is one near me but they are no help in getting the info.

[@Semnyi]

I have a long handle 3/8 with a locking flex head. it is the cheap option, the button for the lock is coming loose. I have abused it for about six months now and it just developed the issue, it still functions and it was a fifty dollar ratchet so well see how long it lasts.

[@Nothingtoya]

I just ordered the 1/4 inch LP ratched a couple days ago.

[@kaylababson5098]

sooo glad I stumbled across this video! I have always loved SK tools. new subscriber!

[@jasonshumaker3630]

I picked up this ratchet after watching your review. Love it. But the directional selector is a bit tight & NOT green. Should I be worried?

[@GarnettTools]

+Jason Shumaker No, they are not making it with the green selector anymore but if you break it in a little the selector might start to feel a little better. I used mine that had the same issues every day for a month and now it's perfect! If that doesn't work for you SK always has their lifetime warranty.

[@scottpearsontoolsmore185]

great video thanks my friend I like the SK brand will be looking forward to getting some.thanks again for the info

[@GarnettTools]

No Problem! Links in the Description. Thanks for watching!

Well thanks. I miss American made stuff! I have older Craftsman and husky tools made in USA..

I don't think any of that's coming back with how cheap Taiwanese manufacturing is guess we'll be stuck with Snap-on, SK, Proto, Mac, Wright, Cornwell and Martin for now.
