Title: I guess I'm the last to know
Post by: Bad 31 on May 22, 2017, 08:31:54 PM
This weekend I bought a tool box that contained a hoard of SK tools, mostly diamond logo and SK Wayne stuff. While going through it I ran across a SK Wayne #2 Phillips screwdriver with a clear handle, white stripes and blue around the shaft end. It has the SK part number on it, 73002. I've included pics for your viewing pleasure. The name is tough to see but trust me, it's there. I also have an amber handle along with the standard green and green with white stripe. Are there other colors out there to be on the lookout for?

Not that I'm aware of. Can't say I've ever seen one like yours.

Actually bonneyman, the red handle is a newer SK version. I think it's referred to as the "dot" logo. It has a dot between the S & K in lieu of the original dash. I just bought one over the weekend just because it was only $1. Probably made sometime around 2000, give or take a few years, Thanks for bringing it up though.

Yeah, I did some research a while back (totally non-scientific), and kinda came to the conclusion that when the dash logo (S-K) was used, that was Dresser Industries era (1969-1985). The dot logo (S.K) was FACOM era (1985-2005). Sometime in there it went to a circle logo (SoK), which SK kept when they went solo again (2005-2010). So your estimates coincide with what I was thinking.  :grin:
