Is This a Kennedy Box?

[spike95]

*Question already answered. Not the golden deal I had hoped I found. Just a cheapo from harbor freight that the guy was hoping to make some money on.*

Hi Guy's, long time lurker here. Love all the info available. I'm getting ready to start a new job as an apprentice tech and need a box to start off with. Just found this box listed locally, and I'm interested in possibly buying it. Looks to me like a Kennedy, but the guy isn't sure of the brand, and I can't find this exact design on Kennedy's site. Anybody have any insite on what it is? I appreciate any help.

Not even close, lol.

I think that is the lowest end model HF sells.

The seller knows what brand it is. Those guys always know what they have, but they don't want you to know. Post a link to the ad.

Yup, looks like a HF box to me as well. Not a box I would buy used unless it was under $40. Not comparable to the red US General boxes at all IMHO.

That is definitely the box linked above

A real Kennedy box will have brown wrinkle paint like this:

And it’s even missing the intermediate chest

A real Kennedy box will have brown wrinkle paint like this:

Or a red wrinkle finish

Or a red wrinkle finish

Or red smooth.

+1 on the seller knowing EXACTLY what it is.

That is a new box HF rolled out about 2 months ago give or take. Maybe ok for basic use, but it's a full blown scam if the guy is saying it's a Kennedy or doesn't know what it is because he bought it new a month ago.

^ ^ ^ This . . . . AND . . . is reason selling his HF box due to FLOODING ??

 

[toolman9w]

Or red smooth.

Or any colors Cornwell offers since they bought Kennedy.
But that is a HF box.

 

[shanny19]

Or red smooth.

Or gray hammertone.

Thanks so much guys. I found it on harbor freight's site. He was asking $200. I messaged him back and said " it's 149.99 brand new. No thanks"

 

[spike95]

The finish and handles on the sides looked a lot like stuff I've seen from Kennedy, so I got excited. Oh well. I'll keep on hunting craigslist.

He did not even bother to remove the HF sticker on the lid.

I couldn't see what the sticker said with the low quality of the image, and have never really looked at these at harbor freight before to know any better. Was silly to get my hopes up. Oh well.
