I have a couple of Snap-On Ratchets that are rather crunchy in operation, and I’d like to get back working smoothly again. I don’t really have a friendly local SO rep, so looking for some help identifying the right repair kits… TM75 1/4” drive is there a kit to repair this? The (U.K.) on...

I am still figuring out layouts in my workshop, and moving stuff over from my old place (See my thread in my sig) and am toying with the idea of making one of my benches mobile - or at least movable with lifting castors such that it moves when I want but not when I don’t. the bench in question...

I need to add some lighting to my barn (see link in my sig for pictures...) which is 100x40 using s steel frame structure which provides trusses at roughly 12.5' intervals - thereby effectively creating 8 bays. The eaves are 16' tall and the ridge is roughly 24'. At the moment the barn is...

I am sure this is discussed widely, but thought I would poll opinions while I search… I like having the radio on while I work, and so need to get something setup in the new barn. I have always had pretty basic needs in this department, but they seem to be increasingly difficult to meet with out...

I joined GJ to ask an odd question about a Snap On tool box… then I got sucked in! I’ve read and followed so many threads on here, and am finally happy to be able to add my own :) I’ve mucked about with cars since before I was of legal driving age here in the UK - restoring and then race in...

I’m trying to resurrect this SO KRL737 top box that I picked up recently. Amongst its issues is that the locking bars have gone kissing from the lid. they are not too difficult to make, and that’s probably what I will end up doing, using my other KRL737 as a pattern… but, I did wonder if I...

Whilst I do have SO toolboxes, they are way too old to include a power tool drawer. I would quite like to be able to store pistol grip style tools as per the picture (stolen from a SO fan FB page…), and I wondered if anyone had seen any after market inserts or racks to enable this sort of thing...

I’ve done a fair bit of reading on here, and appreciate this not an uncommon question, but I have a couple of specifics which I can’t really find good answers for, so… I am in the process of buying a property which includes a 100’x40’ barn which I plan to use for my various vehicle restoration...

I have a Snap On KR290 (1990 vintage) which is currently hung on the side of a KR600 Rollcab as per the picture. Does anyone know if there were ever any top boxes offered for these - either with drawers, or a locker? the silver top chest (KRL737) is a bit later vintage than the Rollcab and I...

My SO KR600 (1996 vintage) has several of the drawers labelled with small pictogram type labels. I think I’ve seen them on other peoples boxes on here - and more of them too. Infuriatingly the PO has put them on inconsistently, and invariably not on the drawers I want… so I wondered; a) does...

I recently acquired a SO KR-655C rollcab. I tried drawers before I bought it, but it turns out at least one set of slides is in need of replacement. Given the box is 1990 vintage, Snap On seems unlikely as a source for new ones - certainly I can’t seem to find them in the online shop. They are...

I’ve ended up with a few lots of tools recently which has yielded some of the older style Snap On hard plastic square handled tools - mostly screwdrivers, but also a 1/4” socket spinner. In using then I’ve found that I really like them, so would like add a few more to the small collection…...

Being an avid follower of the Garage Sale thread (albeit with very little to contribute at the moment) I was wondering what’s people’s preferred methods were to clean up finds - specifically metal tooling which may have gained a little rust though neglect or age. I have always gone with a...

When not sorting out my tools/toolboxes/workshop I spend my workshop time working on cars - Land Rovers, VWs and whatever else takes my interest… a while ago I invested in a Makita 3/8” drive impact gun, and more recently much bigger a 1/2” drive gun. Both of which are great and I use a fair...

Does anyone know a part number for this part of a Canadian made KRA 40” topchest? It’s the plastic plug that closes the vertical channel - it doesn’t serve much function, but it really bugs me that its missing! I have the one for the other side, but I can’t find them listed on any drawings or...

I have a Canadian made Snap On KRA 40” rollcab and top chest. Can anyone tell me what thread is used in a) the inserts in the top chest which allow the two to be joined together, and 2) the inserts in the Rollcab sides to bolt the handle on with? They are roughly 1/4” OD, and having assumed...

I have a slightly odd combination of a KRL737 top box and KRL600 Rollcab, and I’d like to give them a little protection in my workshop. Does anyone have a cover for a 36” stack spare that would be willing to sell on? I'm based in the UK so local would be great, but can shipping if required...

[first post, lurker de-lurking…] I have recently acquired a slightly motley* collection of Snap-on rollcab/topchest combo’s to replace my ageing Halfords (UK brand) cabs. In doing so I have also gained a really bulky set of keys as each unit is keyed differently, not to mention that the Snap-on...
