    vintage Snap On KR65

    I've got what I think is an older Snapon KR65. The "midget" tool box. I believe its the oldest/first version as I cant find any actual model number on it anywhere. Anybody have any more info on these? Any idea what tools should have come with it?

    I've always loved the old Kennedy 520 my father has and have only just begun to appreciate these old boxes. I can get my hands on this one below that looks to be in fairly decent condition minus the drawer felt. Can anyone guess an age on this thing? I'm negotiating on the price now and am...

    What would you do differently if you had the chance?

    What would you include in your garage if you had a blank slate to work with? Heres the long version/back-story: New guy to the forum, and I just bought my first house! While my initial proposition to my wife was that we would look at no houses unless they had at least a 2 car garage, costs...
