    Sears wood verneer tool box?

    I saw this on craigslist forsale. I suspect the intended use was in the kitchen, but it is pretty cool looking. I could see single guys using it as a dresser. Probably not bad as a lighter weight tool box in your garage. It would not hold up to heavy usage without damage to the front wood...

    One way to fix a toolbox broken channel track (what the drawer slide rides in)

    Fixing a Snapon toolbox broken channel track (what friction drawer slides ride in) A bit back I picked up a Snap-on KR557D tool box that had a broken channel track. This is the C shaped track welded into the toolbox frame that the drawer friction slide moves in. Snap-on does not supply...

    FS: Columbian (also Craftsman) machinist vise parts

    FS: Columbian machinist vise parts I was never able to find a replacement screw for my Columbian 504M bench vise (4" wide jaws) with a defective screw. So I am posting the parts here to see if anyone need them. The vise was well used but still functional, other than the screw. I think there...

    Thoughts on replacement toolbox push handle?

    I am fixing up a Snap-on KR557 tool box to take to work. It does not have the factory KR 402A handle as shown in the first two photos. While Snap-on probably still sells the handle kit, I have already spent too much with them on parts for this project. Since it is not a "collector" grade tool...

    Snap-on anniversary medallions?

    I found a few of these among a pile of stuff in a older snap-on tool box. For scale, it is about 1" long. They look to be medallions commemorating Snap-on's 70th anniversary (1990). I must be calling it the wrong name however as I can find no trace of them using Google. Does anyone have any...

    Need advise on broken Snap-on tool box drawer slide issue

    A bit back I saw what looked to be a good deal on a Snap-on KR537D top box and a KR557F bottom tool box (mid 1980's vintage). The boxes were used but in OK shape. The bottom drawer of the KR557F has Accuslide ball slides, but the other drawers are all friction slides.The drawers slid in and out...

    Another "what is it" and "who made it" questions

    Yesterday there was an estate tool sale I attended. It turned out that almost every buyer knew most of the other people there so it was a rather polite affair. The most spoken phrase was "you really need that ***, you should buy it". Translation - I already have 6 of them and would rather you...

    What years did Snap-on make tool boxes in Canada?

    From what I can find, Snap-on made KRA tool boxes in Newmarket Ontario Canada. I have seen Canadian made Kra top tool chests from the mid to late 1980s and the quality is quite good. But I cannot find on the internet what years they produced tool boxes in Canada. Any thoughts? Thanks

    Drill rivet to remove Snap-on drawer slide?

    I had a question in regard to a Snap-on mid 1980's vintage KR650 tool chest. The friction slides are easy enough to remove with a piece of shim stock. The bottom four drawers come off of the roller slides easy enough by removing a screw and carefully lifting. But how do you remove the drawer...

    Source for Mac tool box slides?

    A mechanic friend has a Mac MB1700 tool box (90's vintage?) with failing slides. The detents to keep the drawers closed no longer work. He replaced the slides previously (one of the lower drawer slides in photo) but they are failing again. His Mac dealer says slides are no longer available. Does...

    Vixen obstruction wrench?

    I have not been able to find anything on the internet about this one. It is labeled "1/2 VIXEN PAT APLD FOR". The vixen name was associated with Bonney tools, but it does not look like the alligator wrenches usually associated with them. What is left of the finish looks like cadmium. Any...

    Who made this Cornwell tool box?

    Has anyone ever seen one of these? Any idea of vintage? I an guessing it is around 2000 vintage. It is pretty good size - about 40" wide, 16" deep, 19" tall with 11 drawers. Did Cornwell make these or did some other manufacturer make them? I swear I have seen them labeled as Proto. I wonder if...

    Miller Mfg tool: What is it?

    This came with a few other vintage auto tools in an 1960's vintage Craftsman tool box. I suspect the tools are older. But I cannot figure out what it is. Any thoughts? Thanks
