Mr. BIG

[toolstools]

I know they didn't last long, so I've heard, but did anyone here actually dump 27k on one? I know its basically two 72" models strapped together but what was the point behind it? Just cause basically?aside from there 144" model, who has the biggest box here? I know a lot of you guys have 72" either snappy or extreme etc. But who is Mr BIG around here? Not including multiple attached boxes or tool wagons. Just one continual box?

 

[alan camby]

Is the mr big box actually two boxes bolted together, or is it welded?
If welded, how is the box delivered?

 

[bobcatdan]

They still make mr big. Its an eqip series now. As far as I can tell it is weld soild.

 

[crewchief888]

i worked with a guy that had one, with 2 full size lockers.

filled with all brand new tools.

he was a bit "eccentric",

years of drug dealing finally caught up to him.

 

[toolstools]

I believe it was just one continual box. Delivery was free
Lmao!

"8 casters so you can position it where everybody will see it."

 

[alan camby]

I wonder what it is like to push when full?
Seriously, that box should have a tow hook on the front and back. If loading it on a flatbed trailer, like in the above linked photo, the stress would be crazy if pulled on by the casters.

 

[toolstools]

Any user here have one? 1 ton of steel means there's no real easy way to steal it and no one see it. Lol pretty obvious when u see a tow motor come in and steal you box.
Cop: how do you know its your tool box?
Owner: Mr. Big. Buff said.
Cop: wish I was Mr big..

I asked my snappy guy not long ago about those and he said he has sold on in 35 years and the guy that bought it has it completely full. He then went on to say that the guy that owns it is his best customer.

 

[ianguilly]

My tool guy trys to sell me one atleast once a month.

Can you blame him, how many have you bough.

A Mr big can lead some to believe a Mr small in the pants.

 

[fivespdcat]

I honestly thought it was going to be more expensive than that. I'm really surprised that individuals buy it and not corporations. I guess if you got it, spend it because burying it with you doesn't do any good.

 

[toolstools]

Now who has the link for the matching top box? .....

 

[gsmornot]

If there were a top box I hope they would call it Mrs. Big.

 

[JMcFly]

Does it come in green and can I get side cabinets for it?

 

[padronanniversary]

so is it cheaper just buying two boxes ?

 

[firebox40dash5]

Shocking.

A Mr big can lead some to believe a Mr small in the pants.

I'm sure with that amount of space, you could dedicate some to overcome that.

Does it come in green and can I get side cabinets for it?

Yes, and yes?

 

[Rusty32]

almost bought one about six months ago its was my 84" epic and 6000 for trade but i thought it was a little over kill

 

[toolstools]

So I guess this guy above me has the biggest tool box here at 84". 7' wow. Do I ever sleep on it? Lol. That's bigger then my bed..

 

[kunkernator]

WOW.... My car is not even worth near that much, talk about an investment....

 

[toolstools]

Car? How about property and living space, with 2 car garage? 160x50 lot with 14x70 trailer and 24x24 garage came in at $16000. With leins, taxes, first year property taxes and closing fees. And no, its not a ran down trailer either
Lol

 

[oldldh]

***** envy takes many forms...says something about Snap-On owners...(Just kidding fellows!!!)

What would happen if it turned over...

HOLY SHEEP DIP!!!

How would you move down the "slight" grades that are everywhere???

That's too big for the real world...

 

[MattPersman]

Wow that really is not that expensive. I just ordered a 68" epic and it was half the price of that retail. I thought it would have been at least 40 grand. I might have to trade up to that in 5-10 years

 

[GTA Matt]

So I guess this guy above me has the biggest tool box here at 84". 7' wow. Do I ever sleep on it? Lol. That's bigger then my bed..

Lol mine's 166" with the lockers. And certainly not the biggest here. I know there is a guy on here with an Epiq with 4 lockers. Thats about 200".

I was considering the discontinued 56" chest that Menard's has on sale for $299 for my garage. Now I don't know what to do.

I'm sorry, but I can't resist.....that's like saying "it's a BRAND NEW YUGO!" Just joking - all in fun! I did my time living in "manufactured housing"

 

[metalhead212121]

Now who has the link for the matching top box? .....

to the best of my knowledge Snap on does NOT make a top piece.... I think the idea is to use the top for work area. Truth be told I considered buying one at one time.... I figured I'd use the top as a work bench. In the end opted for a triple bank KRL top and bottom w/one locker. Still looking for a second locker. Last time I checked theres about 5 drawers worth of empty space (guesstimation). I hope I NEVER FILL THIS THING UP! I cant afford to upgrade to an epic!!

^^ oh god the price tag shock.

 

[kunkernator]

19' long!! My only concern is that those add ons on the right have no wheels or support under them.

link?

 

[BTC]

link?

They no longer have the cabinet that match this chest, but I suspect it would work with the current cabinets. It seems like a decent deal, and I suspect it would be all I ever need. It's been on sale for awhile, and I keep hoping they'll actually lower the price some more just to get rid of them.

After buying this you simply ask for one of everything in the catalog and use it when you need it. I too would be concerned with the side boxes that have no support. I can't imagine the weight the first side box is having to deal with being there are two more bottoms and three tops added on the end.

 

[toolstools]

you know what they say, too much of a good thing, is a bad thing.. i can totally see the need for 3500+ sockets and 117 drawers. might as well add more this fall, if you have the money why not?

 

[Heavy Metal Doctor]

I can see wanting to have "one of everything" available for whatever may pop up, but for the less commonly used / specialty stuff how the heck do you remember which area of the box has which types of tools in it?
I think if I owned one of every item in the catalog, I'd break it up with a big green box for this and a blue box for that sorta system....not to mention and the downside of a giant "wall" of tool box that can't moved.

And Am I seeing it right?...Is that whole set up on 3 pairs of casters?
