    Snap-On shorty side box, KR286

    KR286 without a letter suffix tells us that it is the original design. KR286A shows that Snap On has made some change to the way the box was made. Each change of the letter indicates further changes. A KR286D shows that there have been 4 changes in the design of the box.

    Secure your toolbox

    It is no fun to stand them back up and attempt to shake tools down enought to close the drawers. Can't always secure boxes to anything. 30 years ago, i was at work with my toolbox behind the alignment machine. Another tech started a vehicle on the alignment rack that was in gear. Came off...

    Surprise????

    I have 2 of these boxes. They work very well as a travel box in a vehicle, The one you have is an early model with only the lock to keep it closed. The later models included a flip latch on the front.

    This is why you don't use a vise as a press

    Plus using the wrong size crimp sleeves. i was taught that the cable should just fit into the sleeve with no extra space. It looks like he is using 1/16 cable in 1/8 sleeves.

    I have the same Mastercraft screwdriver and mine is getting to the end of it's life as well. A little while ago, I found an Ikea one for putting furniture together. About the same size and power.

    Dad's Snap-ons

    Value also depends on location. Where I live, used Snap On toolbox's like that go for between $1000 and $1500 emply. I don't have a value for the tools.
