Grabbed a KRA59 , KRA429 and KRA380. Been lurking here for a while and decided to sign up. Going to spray paint them, they are old and rusty Might change up the color.

I had a key made at a key shop. They had a blank and looked at the code to cut it for $18. I thought that was a little high, but he spent a lot of time and knew what he was doing. Two keys for that t price. The Snap On truck should have blank keys. You might check the SO web site. Maybe a new tumbler (s) for each box with keys is the way you want to go ?

Firstly, welcome to the GJ!
FYI, It would be a very good idea to put in your location as a lot of the time it will be relevant to your topic. Do it in the "User CP".

I might be interested in the mid box. Depending on how much you want for it & where it is (see what I mean about location. :thumbup: )

Pm me & let me know some details.

Y Series lock keys are available code cut on the fleabay for about $8/pair shipped. Assuming the lock numbers are clear that seemed pretty fair to me.

I like except I'm going green on the draws too with polished chrome trim. Looks sweet!

Did the new style lock bolt right up??

Nice box - my color would be orange. I had brand new Snap-on a few years back and ended up trading it. Looking back, turned out to be the worse trade deal I've ever done. You live and you learn. good luck with the refurb.

i would have gone for green drawers too if there was enough paint HAHA! mine was done with whatever the painter had kicking around.

yeah the lock bolts right up.

you can get new badges on ebay aswell, the chrome trim is difficult to remove without damaging but you can get universal chrome u channel trim from a autoparts store. im gunna use black rubber when i get round to it.
