Same deal with SK Hand Tools which used to be owned and make Snap On then became FACOM then spun off to a management buy out.

SK invented the modern Round headed ratchet that is now the industry standard back in the 1930's.

They went thru bankruptcy but the new owners (Ideal Tools) still honor the original warranty

I have returned broken ratchets and sockets to them and I bought the sets at a garage sale 25 years ago.

My only issue with Stanley is they claim to be an "American" company but have their "true" home in Bermuda to avoid paying US Corporate taxes on their profits.
