Haha nice find. We both got great deals today? What part of the country are you from. I'm in Maryland and found my setup in southern Pennsylvania. Mine looks the same but I'm sure different years as my top box snap on emblem is on the upper right corner small door that opens to the small set...

I just brought them home. Paint is a little rough in spots but no rust or dents. The guy wanted $400 and we met in the middle at $350. Very happy with the boxes. Drawers are super smooth. Way smoother drawers than any new box I have. Also came with working locks. Plan on getting it...

Very nice box rob. I bet you could just clean that up really well and she would look good as new. If you do plan on completely rehabbing there is plenty of great information on this web site to help out. Got me through two of my rehab projects and I'm very happy with the final products...

Thanks for the response. I know I could always sell later but snap on is just too hard to part with. Should have never bought a snap on box....now it's turning into an addiction! :lol_hitti

I'm looking at possibly buying these today and I'm not familiar with these models. I do know they are slides and all slides on the drawers are smooth. Paint is worn I'm told but that doesn't scare me. This will be more of an extra toolbox set so it's not a need but more a want. What kind of...

Here is the oldest setup I have. Haven't used if for anything yet. It's just sitting there waiting for something to do :) Snap On K-55-W Snap On RK-50-W I'm pretty sure these are from around 1946 if my research on collecting snap on is correct. I posted a thread along time ago when I got...

Awesome score. I need to find someone to swap with me and my old laptop. Need me some snap on or SK! :pimpflash

Not bad on the swivel sockets!! Pawn shops are great when you find the right ones. The ones that act like retail stores look pretty but it's hard to find buried treasure there! lol Always a little hesitant on battery operated used stuff. Hope the cordless screwdriver works out for you. If...

I have matched sets already but I just love tools which is why most of us are here right? :lol_hitti I figure I will use these and the ones I like I might try to build a set around and the others I'll trade or sell or just keep. My tools are great to use and they make me smile. What more can...

I just have a tool addiction and like USA made stuff. Not much more to it than that. Can you really have too many tools or boxes for that matter? lol I'm in my late 30s and gave up drinking and partying long ago. This is my new rush! :lol_hitti

Thanks redline I will have to check out the swap meets and the estate sales. Never been to the garage and estate sales but it sounds like some good deals can be had from what I have read on this site. :thumbup:

So I went to the local pawn shop yesterday to kill sometime and went through the wrench bins. I looked for anything USA and this is what I can up with. Didn't have alot of time so left a bunch behind and didn't even hit the socket bins. Here is what I got. I think I did pretty well and...

Great find! I picked up two of these the other day. Can't beat it for the Leatherman plus you get the extra small one as well. Mine were on a clearance isle at the back of the tool area. Couldn't pass them up for that price! USA made too!

Blasting with a larger sandblast pot and tow behind compressor is not to powerful. I've done my toolbox restores two different ways. First one I soda blasted with a harbor freight small soda blaster. This was done outside of my garage and worked with a 3/8 air hose line and dewalt standup...

Thanks to the OP for the heads up on this. I wonder if they will honor this over at the outlet if I need some of the industrial wrenches?? Probably worth a shot. Says whole house on my list for the points and the last time I checked tools were part of my whole house! :lol_hitti

Completely unacceptable, you should have searched first! lol :lol_hitti For what it is worth I was in the same boat this winter and after reading the thread(s) on here went with the 56. To each his own but it's one heavy duty box and I have no regrets. Hardest part was unloading it myself...

This is why I post on here. I cleaned it as well as could so I'm probably going to leave it the way it is. Thanks Again!!

Thanks for posting I have an older box I'd like to restore. I'm curious if masking over the original SK emblem, or what is left of it, will look good when I'm done. I've cleaned all of the sockets and now I just need to get the box looking good. I've looked at the Rustoleum Hammer Green paint...

Here is a very nice unit down in the Allentown are of PA on Craigslist. Asking $2300 OBO. Looks to be in great condition and I'm sure money talks! :beer: http://allentown.craigslist.org/tls/2883980537.html

Major suckage bestowed upon you!
