Dirt Market Redemption: April-May 2019

I'm finding out K-D makes some nice tools. Great snag!

Bman,

K-D Tools are nothing fancy, but they're well made and really get the job done.  Typically, they are "problem solver" tools.

Gary is right, they were specialty and problem solver specialists. Sadly K-D is no longer a company. It was gobbled up by Apex/Gearwrench and the old favorites are long gone. K-D and Lisle were the two big specialty tool companies that produced for the general automotive market -- lots of their tools were rebranded by other companies -- notably Wards and Sears.

Figures. If it's a good company, it'll get absorbed by someone.

bman,

It was a great company that got absorbed by a mediocre company that gave it a cheap funeral with nobody in attendance.

Sad
