When you say new packages are you saying Ideal packaged? My local guy was saying new tuff1 kits where no more.
Tool Pants:
I got some 8 plus years ago at the flea. 1/4", 1/2" regular, and 1/2" long handle. Different sellers. Different times.
I "stole" the long handle for $5. It was freewheeling and appeared to have been taken apart then put back together. I knew they were tricky to put back together because I had played with that style before. You gamble that it is just a matter of putting it back together properly, and is not missing parts. Gamble paid off because all the parts were there when I took it apart - just not put back together properly.
Snaparxon!:
Found this KAL 1269 3/8" dr ratchet today. Made in USA. I assume made by SK and rebranded KAL since KAL didn't make their own tools.

Many years ago I ran into a guy liquidating Department of defense scrap from the local navy base. What the government was scrapping was literally dump truck loads of tools.
The main brands where Wright, Proto, SK, many more including KAL. My theory has always been that KAL was what SK stamped the stuff they never wanted to warranty. You take a KAL or SK wrench, socket, or ratchet and the only difference is the name stamp.
