Theodore Rueb was an engineer for the Sherman-Klove Company develop the mechanism for the "round-head" ratchet. It has been wildly popular in the 70 years since S-K's first development this style. SK invented the round-head ratchet wrench in 1933 and received a patent for it the following year. In 1962, SK, along with manufacturing partner Lectrolite Corp., of Defiance, Ohio, was bought out by Symington-Wayne and became SK Wayne. In 1968 S-K Wayne was purchased by Dresser Industries as part of the merger between Wayne Oil and Tank Company and Dresser Industries. Dresser Industries made many changes to S-K's tools including dropping the cross-hatch pattern from their sockets in order to 'modernize' them. The company has a tool line of over 3,500 items including wrenches, ratchets, screwdrivers, tool boxes and air tools. It has manufacturing facilities in the USA (Colorado Springs, Colorado and Sycamore, Illinois).
