sk master combination drive set 4280 with 1541 tool chest.
« on: November 25, 2020, 01:31:25 PM »
i have had this 34280 chest for years. my goal was to complete the set that went in it. thanks to bmwrdo, i have a picture and the set contents from a cataolog. as it turned out i have a lot of it already so i assembled what i had and took a few pics.

my issue is that a lot of these pieces are from my main box so i am looking for a lot of bits for the "display" set

pics of the box and set contents first

Very nice.
Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

 sorry, i missed this. i would say yes, it is either diamond or sk. those look to be the heavy duty cutters. for a time, diamond made pliers for sk. i have seen the sk slip joint pliers with the tell tale diamond casting in the handle.

there were lots of cheaper  pliers with lighter green  handles but they were pretty easy to pick out. i don't know of  any other brands that used that dark green color. klein has used a lot of colors but i don't recall seeing that green.

I don't know if this is the case for the handles but specific colors or color combinations can be trademarked. It is possible SK trademarked that specific color green for the handles.
