    Starrett Micrometer Caliper Set #224 AA

    I got the above set in a trade. Its accuracy is certified by General Electric Installation & Service Engineering, and is annotated as .007 mm. It lives in a cloth covered box and is in pristine condition (the outer portion of the box is worn from age). The tool and its extensions look as if...

    US General Homemade 3 Bay

    I posted my idea of tying 3 x 26” US General roller tool boxes together to form a “3 bay“ box that would separate easily for moving. I decided to try this when I saw that Harbor Freight was offering them at $239 apiece. I was asked to post pics when finished. Here they are. I don't think...

    US General Series 2 26" roller tool box

    Just picked up 3 black ones that I mean to line up together and still have the opportunity to roll one away. Has anyone unboxed one of these new series 2 models? I'm pretty sure the casters need to be assembled, and I would like to avoid opening the box improperly and having to struggle to put...

    Tool Box ID Please...I can't find any markings

    Guys, I just picked this up. The base measures 56.5" x 42" x 22". The top of course is same width and depth and is 25" high. Opening the cabinet door reveals a pull-out vertical with a drawer shell on top. The vertical has multiple 3" diameter holes in it and space on either side probably...

    Snap On KR1000 Series Top Ideas?

    Any cool/unique ideas for a top that still allows access to the top secret drawer? I am tempted to just do a hardwood full top, but I really do like using the top drawer for lengthy tools.

    Snap On KRL 1001/1201 75 Anniversary Edition

    I picked up a Snap On KRL 1001/1201 combo 75 Anniversary Edition last week. I have taken both boxes down to the carcass, and have found I will be replacing two sets of slides, both in the bottom box. I am wondering if there is a second source (or more direct source than Snap On) for...

    Suggesting - A KR1000 Youtube Video

    So many folks really like the KR1000. I see videos all the time of folks showing off their boxes and tools. It would be great to see a video from one of the GJ pros here, displaying their KR1000 and their idea of best tool placement. Just sayin.... I know I should try myself, but I'm 74, and...

    Tool Box Drawers Clean Out Help

    Hey Guys, I am in the beginning stages of a KR 1000B restoration, and am hoping that a few of you would give me a steer on cleaning the drawers. This box has old liners that have actually bonded with the drawer floors. Liner removal results in some of it stripping away but much still adhering...

    KR1000B and KR1200 Combo

    I have seen several garage journal posts indicating a desire to own this combination. I am also aware that this combination comes up for sale very seldom. Here’s a setup that just came available in the Atlanta, GA area. Seems to be a decent deal for someone...

    Snap On Classic 96 tool box with hardwood top

    I cannot find this wooden top in the Snappy catalog. If someone knows what Snap On sold it for (how much) I would appreciate knowing. I'm just trying to assign value to the whole box. Thanks.

    KR1000A needs a top box

    Is there a preferred top box for this beast? I see that a full 29" depth topper would cover the top flip up storage area (I can accept that). Maybe Snap On built a top box for this beauty that does not block access to the flip top??? I am just finishing restoration and am drooling over the...
