    Snap-on KRA58H: Springs under lid?

    Those are just a retainer or "clip" for timecards, reciepts, cash or whatever you wanted to keep handy. The drawer removal tools could also be stored there. Basically anything small that needed a place and could be accessed easily. Some guys would put their wedding rings there, as they were out...

    Cutting 5 Gal buckets ?

    There must be a reason for not using water in the buckets for weight. I've secured many tents with 5 gal buckets full of water. A gallon weghs 8.33 lbs. Sometimes you need to use 2 or 3 buckets at each location for weight, but it is sure a lot easier transporting and placing empty buckets. All...

    Whats the best way to repaint/restore a Snap-On Taco wagon

    If it were mine I would not sandblast it. I would just machine, hand sand and primer only the bare metal. Snap-On boxes have a good base paint. Just use lots of grease and wax remover and scuffed paint. Depending on the paint used make sure you have compatable primer. A clean well prepped...

    Snap on tool box owner at last!!! 1964 KRA59A, repair advice?

    You have a bit of a challenge there. Since none of it appears to be ripped, you'll need to bend it all back into shape. The slide portion on the drawers can be bent back with vise grips and a 1/4"-3/16" piece of metal and a flat hammer. Straighten the drawer wall and square the drawer first. The...

    Need a little help..

    Sounds like the mixture is off. Too rich or too lean. Should have mixture screws that can be turned slightly. You'll have to turn them little by little until it idles evenly If no adjustment is available there is plugging inside the carb or the float level is off.

    Whats the best spray on penetrating oil?

    Yield from Chemsearch gets my vote as well. It is the most used product for the rusty machines we are working on. Yield will evaporate faster than other products, but as a penetrant it works faster. Sometimes we'll spray KW knocker loose after the yield to slow the evaporation. No chemicals work...

    Oxy Acetyline torch set up

    If you decide to use the old/used set up, replace the hoses. Make sure backflow valves are installed. Have the gauges and regulators checked by a welding equipment repair company. Your local welding supply company should be able to help you with all of this. We own our tanks and that is more...

    Snappy Box Ideas

    There are three things to consider, drawer depth, drawer width and box height. The deeper drawers function better. Some like the full width drawer, but the box is taller. I like the lower box without the full width drawer.
