Nice! Yesterday i saw my driver had 3/8's cordless impacts in real tree camo. Almost wanted to trade in my green one for it.

Camo roller cabs. I don't get it. Unless you plan on taking your box hunting with you, what's the point (practicality-wise)? :headscrat

I'm willing to concede to those going for a theme or a fashion statement, though.

Sounds like a silly idea, but I guess there's some people that can't get enough camo. The white one looks pretty cool though

Why??? Well I guess snap on is trying to fill EVERY conceivable niche and color scheme that the tool buying public may have. Hmmmm..... I wonder if a line of matching camo hard handles is next?

Plus when you build a product that lasts forever, you need to create a reason for the buyer to trade up.

I judge a man by his integrity, and the work that his hands do, but in some circles, I know men judge each other by the things they own (I used to work in the custom V-twin industry). So having the best, or most unique things is a big deal. This is pretty unique, and I like it even though it wouldn't make the quality of my work any better.

I was on statewidelist last night and there was a set of Snap On 5 or 7 pc wrench set in Real Tree camo...just don't remember what state I was searching. There is the cordless impact in Ebay motors in camo.

Its just another option like the extreme green toolboxes. Snap-on has probably done some market research and determined that there is there is a demand for camouflaged tool storage.

This is not there first venture into the camo. There was a Ted Nugent special edition one that was black with camo drawers. Just my opinion but camo should stay on our soldiers backs not on tool boxes, looks ugly.

Right. Looking at your avitar, I like dark blue and the traditional red.

I like it. Been wondering for years why no one makes camo toolbox or anything tool related.

You could probably get some camo wrap that they wrap vehicles with and put it on any toolbox you wanted. It's just like tinting windows.

Your right on. On the second page of the PDF flyer it says it is a decal over a gloss black box.

For the record I like it

Ha...when I read the title, I though it was going to be clothes with pictures of tools on them, so that when you stood in your garage, it would be hard to see you, next to your tools. Hee Hee.

Have to agree with Lookingfor67Gal. Theme boxes do not resell easily. I had a grafiti box moved fast but that was because I priced it right cause I was able to buy it right.

I am going to get to see one in person in the next few weeks. The new guy had just bought one, awaiting delivery.

I forgot to ask "how much?" but am guessing it was around about $2500 for his classic78 camo. I think it is a classic78, I doubt he went for krl, and am only guestimating on the price based off of older skin box prices.

I had thought myself that the next box I get I might look into getting a vinyal wrap done on it to protect the finish, but then I'm also thinking its a toolbox and to me they look better when they get a little 'character'. As of the ones that say you couldn't resell it's already been stated all you have to do is peel the wrap off and you have a shiny black box underneath.

Don't know how easy the wrap will peal off and if any adhesive would be left behind. While it could be done, I bet its a bigger, longer job then you may think.

But, truly, to each his own. If you like it, can afford it, buy it and enjoy.
