"Teal" SO tool/roll box color confirmation, anyone?

[Chumly]

Point blank because I'm wordy: Has anyone bought a Teal colored Snap-on cart or box? I have seen very little but the 75th anniversary Turquoise boxes (my receipt says "TRQ")

Now the reason:
I'm passing on a "great deal" on a fully kitted Epiq 68" single bank display that I just think is ****, I need another stationary box like a hole in the head (yes, they have wheels, but you know they sit there), and going for something I don't have: a cart. While browsing their site I find this:

Snap-on Store

shop.snapon.com

The given picture is like an online dating profile; It also likes long walks finding 10mm sockets at the bench and has night terrors.

Do ya'll just tell your dealer to go fetch and find me exactly this or is it like ordering a new vehicle you may never get?

I'm very sketchy due to getting pushed off on auto dealers getting exactly what I want and never getting it like this "Teal" color that is back ordered until late April. "We found everything you want, but it's silver" is not what I want to deal with a year later.

Does Teal exist in the wild besides that single picture!?

The '57 Chevy box from the '90s is teal. Though I prefer the Ford Mustang blue or Camaro orange boxes.

90's...this Chupacabre may be real in a sea of Extreme Green then!

Yeah, weird that it's just out there as "teal", back ordered, and not even an option in the given Ultimator.snapon. That's lighter than the turquoise boxes for sure, so thanks for another confirmation. Doesn't bother me, it's a great color!

(Had a '56 V8 two-tone and dad had a '56 Nomad, man I'd like those back! '57 is too classy for this dirtbag but that box is something to cherish for ages!)

Kind of hard to follow what you are asking. Are there teal colored boxes out there that you can buy? Ot can you actually order one new?

Was just talking to my tool truck guy this week. He stated the tool boxes are getting hard to get. It is just basic supply issues. Not only is it the steel for them, it is everything else. Castors, drawer guides, tops, and yes paint.

My guess would be that as you have mentioned teal is not a popular color. Likely way down the list of priority on a production run. If they are behind on more popular colors, why fit in a unpopular one.

These are probably too old for you since I bought them new in the late 80's or early 90's. But yes there are teal Snap-On cabinets to be found in the wild.

Thanks all! Late bump needed...it's home and they're real!

Everyone loves the color and the Hi-Viz stuff look awesome. "never seen that color!" Was suppose to have Ti drawer grabs so I can match the 75th anniversary cabinet, but black will do until next week.

That is exactly the case. Rock and Roll SO truck dude said "22 weeks" and it took 3 from the day it was ordered. It was made already and no one orders that color, so it was ready to go after swapping out the SS top for the bedliner one. So Teal, White, and Yellow are the un-popular colors while everyone clamors for Extreme Green or whatever.
Anyway, you're right according to basic supply and demand. Twenty-Two weeks is probably very true if they had to tag one for the color prior to assembly when this one was probably covered in dust in the corner of the Indiana Jones warehouse.

That'd be my second color choice after the classic red. Red would have to be discontinued though.

That’s a sharp box, congrats!

 

[oldwino]

Love the color.

Sounds like you got yours quickly. I've had a storm gray with purple trim 54" master series top box on order since December.

Yeah, that's sad really. My initial thought on the bigger boxes were "it's snap on, they have to be red" since that's all I seen most of my life until they got fancy with the emoji...err colors. Candy Apple Red is on there, but it's not the SO/Craftsman red at all when set by each other. My general purpose box is a Grey Craftsman. Jeez, I gotta go against the grain I guess.

We all want to stand out a bit on a purchase, I feel that, and that's why I think we clamored to Extreme green or Orange. I just fell in love with the 75th anniversary box from back-when this turquoise/teal color didn't exist in their pallet that when I saw it hidden in the current P/N's...well, I had to ask if it's real. Welp, I stand out around here but know I'm not alone now seeing freaking CNH's investment he posted above...with butcher block tops none the less! Man, that's a set of boxes to fill!

Now I'm looking at the main box and hutch that's regular old blue and wishing it were storm gray. Something about haze gray and underway that I wouldn't have tolerated even if it were an option at the time, but I'm over that time period now and storm gray and purple would be awesome.

I gotta laugh at myself...tool handle colors and box matching? "You're playing with paper dolls kid!". I know, I know...all the world's problems are just solved if my stuff looks right to me!

I don't know what it is, but I just love red toolboxes. Probably all the time spent grabbing tools out of my dad's old MAC box. That teal is real sharp though.

How about seafoam green to go with that grey box?
