    What sort of payments do you make on your box?

    I just finished paying off my KRL 1022 last month. It took me 5 months to pay it off. I got it with the stainless top for $5k to my door. I charged it on my AMEX card that had 0% for 15 months, just in case I couldn't pay it off in the time I planned. I just paid whatever I felt I could spare...

    Problem with my Snap On KRL (locking mechanism)

    Thanks for all of the replies! I got it fixed. I only had to lube the 2 sliding channels on the right and it works perfect again. :)

    Problem with my Snap On KRL (locking mechanism)

    Thanks Merk. I did see the sliding channels when I looked earlier. What is the typical layout for the linkage bar? Does it usually just go to one side or does it split somewhere? I know for a fact that the sliding channel on the left DOES move and the 2 on the right DON'T. Just trying to get...

    Problem with my Snap On KRL (locking mechanism)

    Yeah, I know for sure they were all closing. The lock and roll engaged on all of the drawers. I'll see if I can get someone to help me get the top 2 drawers out at the end of the day. Thanks!

    Problem with my Snap On KRL (locking mechanism)

    I've had my KRL 1022A for about 4 or 5 months now. Well, I tried to lock my box tonight after work, and none of the drawers on the right hand bank would lock at all. The 2 big top drawers as well as the entire left bank all DO LOCK. I took 1 small drawer off of each bank. I see 3 vertical...

    SO stainless benchtop question?

    I bought a new krl (1022A) with a stainless top about 4 months ago, and my top has seperated from the core material too. I never really think about it when my dealer is here, but I have no problems, like collapsing, coming from it though. I've been planning on rebonding it myself anyway.

    Need help picking a new light

    Well, let me start off that I am a helicopter mechanic and will mainly use the light for inspections up close, so I would guess I need something that floods well. Is Streamlight a good brand?

    How do you store and arrange your sockets?

    I also use the Blue Point tray. I got it for about $40 with the Snap On industrial discount. I travel between 4 facilities and got frustrated with not having the sockets I needed, so this works perfect for me.

    Got a special delivery today...

    I didn't like the matco box. I bought it off ebay and just never liked it when I got it home. I always regretted not getting this one instead. The other guy offered me what I originally paid for the yellow one 2 years ago, so I took it. That, and I'm really tired of being the only person there...

    Got a special delivery today...

    Thanks for the comments guys! With the discount, the box itself was 3800. For the box, stainless top, freight and tax, right at $5k even. I sold the Matco box to another guy at work. I had planned to keep it, but he kept on me until I gave in. My instructor had almost the same box a few years...

    Got a special delivery today...

    My new tool box came! And it was 5 weeks early!!! I bought my KRL 1022 from my Industrial rep. Beside my old Matco MB 7525. I'll get the stainless top installed on it tomorrow before work. I love this box! It just feels right to me, and I've already gotten more compliments with it than...

    Ordering a new Snap On box....

    Thanks for the opinions guys. I think I'm going to pass on the 'upgraded' lock. I think he's just trying to add a few more dollars to his sale. I'm almost sold on the cranberry color. It's down to that or silver but definitely leaning towards cranberry. I have a yellow box now, and it looks...

    Ordering a new Snap On box....

    I've got someone at work that is going to buy my Matco MB7525 roll cab and I am going to order a new KRL 1022 from our Snap On Industrial Rep. He keeps trying to get me to upgrade to their heavy duty lock. Is there really anything different about it that makes it worth the purchase? I think...
