is this a snapon taco cart?

[navyeoseabee]

uploading 4 pictures, i always wanted one, but this one only has ones set of drawers.. maybe not a snapon version?

Yes, I want to say it is, IIRC it's their earlier version. I think it's a KR 396.

Looks nice. Is it yours or are you thinking of buying it?

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Yes that looks like the early one with the wierd wheels.

Thank you guys. I did buy it at a estate sale. I seen it Saturday a few houses down the road with a tag of $300. Drove past the sale sign on Sunday and the sign had a 50% off sign attached, so i stopped I paid about $170 after taxes.

I cleaned the dirt, grease off it, and it looks good. (those pictures are after the cleaning). I have couple areas that need some goo gone.

Well i am looking for the original handle and snapon logo.

Thank you LOOKIN' for the series number.

I have a similar Snap On box but the big wheels are inboard and I don't have the compartment in the back.

Smoking deal

I would have bought it for that price! Are those rear wheels original or did someone do some mods?

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Those are replacements

Sure. That was a great price, I'd love to pick up one of those!

would you happen to have a link to the original style of tires? i found the same thread tires on ebay, an also found some sweet solids (but one inch shorter.)

i would like to keep the box near original.

I found a post on here of the kr396, i don't think it is that model. my storage locker is on the end of the box.

one concern i have is i can not find a snapon stamp on the back of the chest.

They were made by waterloo as I understand it. Yours may be one of those sold by them.

THAT was my biggest fear, i told a friend that i hoped it didn't turn out to be a waterloo or Kennedy. don't get me wrong for it's age it is good... but i still would want a snappy taco cart!!!!

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Even if it is not the snap on version it's a nice box and a good deal.

Definitely.

That's more like an industrial maintenance rig. Maybe machine repair.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

As I said, smoking deal either way

I understand, lol i always wanted the Snappy Taco cart... the hunt continues...These are a perfect set up for the center of a work area, where you can walk around them, and open all the drawers/doors freely... not for a shop corner.

LOL... the hunt continues...


thank you, guys for the info... yea i am down, but not down and out

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Ideal box for drive through shops where box is placed between bays

Navy, if you lived near me I'd happily take that cart off your hands!

There's a lot of aircraft industry in socal, you shouldn't have much trouble finding one. Keep an eye on eBay and offer up in addition to Craigslist

I do see them out here usually about 1 or 2 a year. either in restored condition or in the same condition as this one, but i got excited for the $175.00 price tag.
