I just need to know exactly how to pronounce the name Schechtl. I wanna say skeck-tull. But not sure. They're the manufacturer of my metal brake and I've been ignorant for far too long. Thanks in advance.

Don't know, but maybe like this? https://www.howtopronounce.com/schechtl/
EDIT: Google translate pronounces it "Shesh-deu"
Not sure which is right.

Sch is Sh, very easy. As in 'shop' or 'ship'.
E is like the e-s in 'enemy'
Ch, as it needs to be pronounced here, I don't think really exists as a sound in English, at least I can't think of a word. It's a little bit like 'kh', but softer.
T and L are the same as in English.
Like the Yiddish word? Shtetl?

It's pretty much the same CH sound as the CH in "Loch".
Actually it's not. There are two different 'ch' sounds. A 'ch' after 'i','e','l','n','r' or an umlaut is pronounced like this:

It's not the same sound. It's [ç] in words like ich, schlecht or Schechtl and [x] for acht, Nacht, Buch etc. (or Loch as you mentioned). Look into the International Phonetic Alphabet. They're two different sounds (voiceless palatal fricative and voiceless velar fricative).
It's not (in this case).
as said before: it doesnt exist in english. no wonder you are struggling with it.
Nicht schlecht, sprach der Specht 2 different versions of 'ch' and no indication which is what; german is difficult.

I thought you needed the germans for something else.. Dissapointment!
First part of this word is really close:

Just stop at the "L" sound and that's it.
