    Transporting a toolbox

    Working on a deal for a Snap On KRL1023. It's about 150 miles away, for a good price. They weigh 1000 pounds empty, I'm thinking two of us can push it up the ramp on a rental truck. Anyone done this? Am I being too ambitious? And other ideas? Thank you for any input.

    Dealer mark up on Snap On boxes

    Does anyone know the markup on Snap On tool boxes? Looking at a KRL series, I want to make a one time cash offer to my dealer. I'm sure they make a lot on them, I'm hoping he'll be willing to make a few hundred dollars for little effort on his part. Thank you.

    Vote: Buy this box or not?

    Non-binding referendum...Snap on dealer has what seems to be a screamin' deal on a KRL1023 in royal blue. My KRL722 trade in, plus $4025. He doesn't want my KR550, I'll give it to my son. I have to finance through Snap On Credit, but I can pay it off in 89 days with no interest. 19%...ouch. Yes...

    Getting soft in my old age

    My KRL722 and KR550 boxes are crammed full. Seldom used wrenches are bundled together and piled in a deep drawer, not organized nicely in racks as they should be. More stuff at home in a storage locker. I've been lusting after a KRL1023 for two years. Snap On man making no bargains. I find them...

    Battery dying in continuity tester

    I have a Snap On MT 270 continuity tester, powered by a 9 volt battery. 25 years old, the first battery lasted more than 10 years. Since then, batteries last 6 months to a year, sometimes less. I only use it once or twice a month, and have tried name brand and off brand batteries. Snap On tech...

    New Snap On impact

    My Snap On IM5100 is finally getting weak. I bought used it at a garage sale 15 years ago for about $15, and used the **** out of it. Always oiled it before each use. Today it was struggling to remove some fasteners that were torqued to 270, so I knew it was about time. I hope my new MG725 holds...

    Does the wrap come off Snap On boxes?

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/SNAP-ON-KRL-1023-Realtree-Camo-Armor-Triple-Tool-Box-Chest-Bench-Gun-Cabinet-/281103014149 I saw this. Good price, not far away. But the camo wrap is a deal breaker. Actually I'm just assuming it's a wrap. Anyone know for sure if it will come off fairly easy? Thank you

    Angle head wrenches

    How many of you use angle head wrenches? One end 60 degree, the other 15 degree. If you work on anything with hydraulics you can hardly do without them. You were either buying from a tool truck for a small fortune, or Harbor Freight scrap metal. I recently found a set on Amazon, JH Williams...

    Used tool sellers rant

    I've been looking for a used Snap On KRL tool box. I check Craigslist and eBay all the time. WHY do sellers insist on not putting model numbers in their ads? It's bad enough on Craigslist you must search "Snapon", "Snap On" as well as "Snap-On". That part I can understand. But put the model...

    What's with the "new" Snap On boxes on Craigslist?

    I'm always browsing Craigslist for bargains. I see a number of claimed to be never used Snap On boxes for sale. "I bought it for $10,000 and never used it". Sometimes they are shown still in the crate. I would think the serial numbers would show it it was stolen. Or maybe someone is making...

    Painting a Snap On box

    Hi everyone, new guy here. I outgrew my Snap On KRA boxes a few years ago, and got a great deal on a Snap On KRL722. It's Extreme Green, no one wanted it. I've been looking for a KRL791 top box to match it without putting the Snap On mans kids through college. I found a deal on a used one, but...
