I got my used KRSC46 about a month ago. Decided to double up the drawer slides, purchase a rubber mat to the top, and purchase a cover. Snap-on warrantied the gas struts for the lid as one of them lost pressure. Nice. Was literally seconds away from purchasing a nice KRL1022 in Blue for...

I am right on the fence and need a push or not. When did you know it was time to move to a stationary big tool box from plastic portable toolboxes? My story. Been accumulating tools of mostly high quality over the past two years. Presently, they are housed in individual portable plastic...

No doubt the equivalent HF US General box 56" model at $800 is a good price value and a smart $$ decision.

Marketing and product differentiation works because the overwhelming majority of people consider many variables in a purchase of which price is only one. Made in the USA is a very important variable to me. Price is another variable, quality is another variable...you get the point.

I absolutely did fully consider the HF box after reading many posts about it. At my age, 56 years, no more Chinese stuff. I would be really unhappy with it even though it may work great. Leaning towards the Snap-on used box and do not mind a $800 loss when selling, if I need to sell. I did...

I looked into the HF box and have two issues with it. First, no so sure the resale will be as good with a HF box as with a Snap-on box. Second, after breaking a few Chinese made tools a few years ago I have sworn off Chinese built tool and tool related items unless I positively, absolutely...

Thank you for all the posts. It seems the box is not as secure as I thought from a lock standpoint. And, that picture of a backup, winch, pull and roll away was a little unsettling. Got to think some more about this one. The used box at $2,800-3,300 costs almost as much as my entire tool...

It has a garage door but there is always the worry that the wife would leave it open, by accident, after backing out her car to run errands. So, then it would be exposed to some pedestrian foot traffic. Maybe I assume incorrectly, but I was thinking a Snap-on box would be more secure than a...

Get a will. Have an attachment for tools/stuff. List anything over $500 in current market value.

I have acquired a lot of tools over the last three years - 5 socket sets, dozens of ratchets, all kinds of wrenches, pliers, screwdrivers, pry bars, 4 cordless impact tools, 1 corded impact tool, diagnostic tools, etc. Mostly SK, Gearwrench, and Snap-on. Approximate weight of it all about...

Long time reader first time poster. Consider myself an advanced do it yourself person mostly around the house and yard. Started to repair autos two years ago and have now acquired many, many tools. I'm sure many of you have this problem. Hoping to learn from others on how to manage the...
