Great buy!

Thanks I know I have read about these boxes a lot recently but the OP for this thread was the first time I saw a size listed. There is a guy local that has the KR655 for $600 the pict looks rusty and has some angle iron bolted onto it. So either of these boxes would work nice with my KR537, so I have other numbers to look for besides the KR557. Ultimately I hope to give this to my son as a starter if he ever goes to school.

I'm terrible with model number, but I think I know what you are getting at. SO is fairly good with standarizing sizes of their boxes. The kr557 are the taller standard heigh where as a 537 is shorter, I think by one deep drawer. Width and depth is the same. It is basically like comparing a 1022 to a 7022, the 7022 is 4" shorter, thats it.

Very nice buy. I've been trying to talk a friend of mine out of his for about two years now. Can't imagine why he won't sell it...

Well spent like 4 hours last night cleaning and pulling apart this thing.

liners everywhere

Drawers everywhere

Still got a few open drawers with nothing, but with time i'll add to it dut this is a good start.

Impressive for your first own tool box young man. That's a KEEPER!

Many years of satisfaction to follow with your SO box. Thanks for sharing.

He's got a really nice snap on at work......nice box man I'm super jealous I'd like to have one of those to take place of my matco 4s at the shop. Does that have roller bearing slides or are they the friction.

Jealous here for sure. Hey, you need a step stool to see inside the top. I wish that width of box were more common. Enjoy.

This is actually my 7th toolbox, here is my main box (Sig line)

This box is full of left overs from my work box.

Friction, bottom drawer is ball bearing.

 

[joedodge]

Nice man that's a killer box

 

[joedodge]

Are the friction slides nice and smooth I've never seen a snap on up close with friction slides do they do well with the weight

Very cool! Who makes the green chisel/punch set?

They're not bad, but I like the bb sides better.
