SnapOn KRA2007 - black or red?

[S85B50]

Hi,
which color would you choose for a KRA2007? I don't know if I should order a classic red one or a black one. Does anyone have pics?

Thanks

I vote for red.

I vote for buying a bigger used box. There's another thread where a guy bought a KRL661 in decent shape for just $40 more than what it costs for that tiny KRA2007....

 

[mrshaun]

merk is right....... look first. bigger is better

Red.

Black will show every little smudge, fingerprint, scratch, blemish, etc.

Royal Blue is a nice alternative from boring old red.

I would pick black because my current tool box is black, and I like the look of the same color boxes.... That being said, I wish that my current box was Red, but I saved about $1500 by going black....

Electric Orange.

Electric Orange.

That box is only available in red, black or blue.

Or you can get a Kennedy 3900MP(Yellow) 3901MP(Blue) for the about same price.

red is the ultimate color. a bigger used box is definitly my vote

RED! The few times I have seen a middle, top or side box for sale they were always red (once black), plus in the car business it's the best seller (we call it resale red), bet it applies to tool boxes as well.

Here's a pic of my red one:

I wonder how common used Snap On boxes are in Germany (assuming he's in Germany from location)?

Not very. In Belgium even non-excistent.
The Netherlands however, seem to buy more Snap On, but they are wannabe americans...

RED ..!!

I didn't read the complete Snap-On link, I just looked at the photo...

I just traded in my black box.It needed to be wiped down everyday because every bit of dust in the shop would stick to and show up like a sore thumb.Ask somebody with a black car how easy it is to keep clean,same thing.10 minutes after you clean it it's dusty again.

I vote for black.

why bother getting that roll cab when you can get the blue point KRB series one, top and bottom for less then $800 used

Isn't the Blue Point one imported from China?I don't see where he says there's a blue point for sale used near him?

 

[arkangel06]

Red for sure.

There's is/was a 30" Blue Point from Canada that is quite similar (or the same as) to the KRA boxes, I've seen several of them gotten through the student discount program, Harry Epstein had the same boxes branded Williams.

Got a red one...love it. Its perfect for the track.

Tool boxes are supposed to be red.It's in the Bible.

The tool bible makes an exception for extreem green though.

Yeah, I'm a traditionalist too. Snap-on red all the way!

Like mr.shawn and others pointed out, look for a used box and save some money. my .02.

 

[poprockcrusher]

[06wt]

[olds88]

Yeah go for bigger... check out my recent posts on Lets see your toolbox so see how i have to cram everything in my 2007!

 

[brian90505]

A KRA 2007 (7)drawer which looked brand new went up on local Craigs List here a few days ago for $100. I missed it by 30 minutes. Today it`s back on CL by new owner for $350. The free enterprise system at work

You bumped a 6 month old post for a tool box that is "Local pickup only" in Maryland. The original poster is in Germany. That would be one heck of a drive!

 

[EvilCelica]

I would say black if not blue. I think red is too common for tool boxes.
Here's a pic of mine which is similar in black.

Old thread, muchachos.

 

[matthew-sanderson95]

Black just looks amazing on big boxes red is oright but i would go for black.

 

[ngk22r]

I vote red, but at the same token I would scout CL for a used box like my KR655 type of box. They go for a good price nowadays and are great boxes! Mine is going on 15 + years strong!
