Pulled the trigger on that today and had it delivered tonight! http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showpost.php?p=310642&postcount=925

Closed the deal on this today. I had the guy deliver it for me (saving me having to rent a van with a lift). Pictures really don't do it justice. Snap On KRL7002 is about 4-5 years old, but the prior owner took meticulous care of it. Truly as advertised in "like new condition." Even has the...

Never ceases to amaze me..the value of this Board:bowdown::thumbup: I was kinda wondering, when the guy told me that the box didn't have ball bearing slides. Not that I know whether or not MAC makes such a box, but it is great to see the tremendous amount of knowledge available on Garage...

In my search for a new (to me) tool box, I came across a guy that is leaving the automotive repair business and has offered to sell me his boxes (MAC Tools) and everything in them. Blue Point, Snap On, Air Tools, etc. Pictures are provided at the following link. His first asking price was...

I've done some searching on ebay and craigslist and $2000 seems like a heckuva deal for this size box in the Master series. The latest version of this is $6,815 on the SO website. If it is in the shape he says it is in, I would feel pretty good at $2,000. I offered him $1,500 already, but he...

I take it from your responses that I should jump on this before it gets away. I offered less, but he said his Snap On guy was offering him $1,500 to buy it back..I presume to sell used at a significant mark-up.

Can you guys help me make up my mind on this before I drive to go look at it. It is a bit of a haul to go see it. $2,000 and is supposedly in like new condition. KRL7002APC. Anyone know how old this would be (approximately)?

Anything look like a good deal here?? http://tampa.craigslist.org/psc/tls/868840513.html

Is it just me..or does that look like Sarah Palin hanging around that Jeep?!? :)

Finally got mine. 80 gallon 1992 Belaire with rebuilt Italian compressor (T29) and Dayton 3hp motor. Searched craigslist for a while, and ended up finding this from a reputable dealer in Tampa that provided warranty and great service and a very good price I think. All in, $800 bucks...

Good advice re the "easy outs." I'm guessing the guy who owned these may have worked on older import cars, given the Kyoto wrenches and the old "Mitoloy" box (another Japanese brand) that the Snap On tool and bolts came in. Was there a time when Japanese cars used non-metric tools (as the KTC...

thanks..great graphic explanation shows what I'm missing.

Help me out with that 4th picture. There is a tool labeled craftsman that I can't figure out what it is for. It is the green one around the middle of the photo that has a crank on one enc that seems to work like a vise or press of some type. Any clue what that is for? Also, in the 2nd...

Hah! That's funny. Actually, I "almost" feel guilty about the purchase. The lady on the porch overseeing the yard sale said these were some of her dad's old tools and that her brothers had already gone through the box and took what they wanted. I caught the sale early, as I think she was...

Paid 25 bucks for a box of miscellaneous stuff at a yard sale today. Took it home and cleaned it up a bit and noticed there was one Snap On tool that looks to be a harmonic balancer remover??. Anyone familiar with the wrenches. Looks like a pretty complete set of boxed wrenches made by KTC...

Thanks. I thought it sounded like a good deal. He started at $900 and I offered $500, which is how we ended up at $600. But he actually threw in a "used" gun as well, so I'm pretty happy about the deal. Going to pick it up this morning.

Got a line on this MIG welder. I am going to see it tomorrow. Seller says it is a year old but never used. Doesn't include gun or tank (not even sure if either was standard equipment when these were still being sold new. Was asking $900 bucks, but says he will take $600. Sounds like a...

I have a chance to pick this up for $200 bucks. But by no means am I a compressor expert. What do you guys think? Is it common to find service providers that would completely overhaul this. Or how easy would it be for me to get it in good shape? Supposedly it was working fine before the guy...

I just looked inside the service panel, and it looks like the electrician used a 30-amp breaker for both the welder and the compresser outlets. Even though he used a 50-amp outlet for the welder and 30-amp outlet for the compressor. By the way, the breakers are within line of sight of both...

I had planned on putting a compressor just outside of my garage, underneath some stairs, and plumbing it inside. I put a 30 amp 220v plug there just for this purpose. But now the wife is having no part of that, since she claims the "outside" (i.e. yard) is hers and the inside (garage) is mine...
