    Bought this vintage SNAP-ON tool at a flea market a few months back. Anyone have any

    So I found this at a flea market a few months back. Wondering if anyone here has any idea what it may be. I'm guessing a circuit tester of some sort???? Any input is appreciated

    does anyone here use a GPS tracker for there boxes? looking for recommendations...?

    The Dewalt mobile lock claims it can be seen indoors (I forget why they say, it uses cell data and GPS data or something like that). My point was to tuck it behind the drawers somewhere to keep it out of sight. The thing about it is it will send you a text if it moves outside a certain set...

    does anyone here use a GPS tracker for there boxes? looking for recommendations...?

    Hey guys, I've been thinking about putting a GPS in my box's. I've been putting it off, but I'd like to be prepared for the worse in case it ever happens. I've had my garage broken into before I was fully moved in, luckily I didn't have any off my goodies in there yet. I also buy and sell a lot...

    Nevermind, I got it, it just took a serious turning effort and I was worried I was going to bend the lock, can a mod delete this thread or someone tell me how to delete it? Sorry about that guys

    Ok, as some of you guys may know, I picked up a kr1000, kr1200 older snap on box this weekened. The woman's husband passed away years ago, and they were finally clearing out the garage. Anyways, I had been patiently waiting to get a key cut today at the local locksmith. So I got and get the keys...

    how to clean/ restore toolbox paint to make it "pop" again?

    Is it common for the paint to rub off onto the rag? I noticed this when using good off on my Matco service cart and thought maybe it was too aggressive of a cleaner, but I also have this stuff called "Sharp Shooter" I use at work to clean up all the grease and fingerprint marks left on boats...

    how to clean/ restore toolbox paint to make it "pop" again?

    As some of you may know, I just picked up that kr100/kr100 combo box. Well after removing these dreaded stickers, I'm looking to try my best to bring the original paint back to life. All my other boxes I've kept extremely clean and we'll taken care of so I've really never had to do anything over...

    need advice on moving a pretty large, top/bottom box combo....?

    Here's some stuff I got out already out if one of the top drawers, 2 tap kits, 2 retread ingredients kits, and 4 punch sets. There's a lot more small stuff but these were a nice addition/suprise The stuff I bought from the woman before I bought the box was the cream of the crop though, tons of...

    need advice on moving a pretty large, top/bottom box combo....?

    Well, today was the day. First time I really got a good look at the boxes, and they had a little bit of damage oli noticed upon closer inspection. Really just on the top hatch, I believe it was slightly bent from a previous move so when the rollback came today I wasn't to worried about him...

    need advice on moving a pretty large, top/bottom box combo....?

    So I have it set up for Saturday morning, I got a super deal on this setup. It's a shame the box has a ton of stickers on it but once I get it home and clean all that nonsense off, wax her up I'm sure she'll pop like new. It just looks like it's been sitting for a while. I bought about 6...

    need advice on moving a pretty large, top/bottom box combo....?

    Well that's just pure "idocracy" right there. I'm an overhead gantry crane operator by trade and am pretty decent at operations involving large loads, I've just never been in a situation where I can't do it "my way" to say the least. The box is old enough that the drawers that are open won't...

    need advice on moving a pretty large, top/bottom box combo....?

    That was the other issue I have to deal with, I don't know if the boxes are bolted together or not, if I could remove the top I'd move the box myself, I'd end up throwing it on a trailer and taking it home myself, but since there stacked and I don't really want to fiddle around and tinker at...

    need advice on moving a pretty large, top/bottom box combo....?

    Good to know, I figured a rollback was the way to go. I already contacted my local locksmith and he said it shouldn't be an issue, especially since it isn't a barrel lock mechanism. The box is older, I'd say at least 15 years old. I already bought the tools that were accessible in the few...

    need advice on moving a pretty large, top/bottom box combo....?

    Hey guys, I'm looking to go pick up a snap-on bottom/top combo box about 30 miles from my house. Long story short, a woman's father passed away, had a shop in his garage and there trying to clear some of the stuff out. I don't have the exact specs on the box, I had just seen it briefly when...
