It's my understanding that Snap On will give you new drawer slides, no charge. I know for a fact that they will give you new casters for free, no questions asked. A guy at work bought a taco wagon from a retiring Mechanic and that box needed new casters, he called Snap On and they sent him a...

Yes, that would've made things much easier!

At my work a Morgan Milwaukee 50 Vise showed up in the scrap pile because it's mainscrew and nut were gone. I asked around and found out they had broken and parts were no longer available so it was thrown out. I found a mainscrew nut for a smaller vise and started looking at Acme threaded...

I needed a new handle for my Taco Wagon as the black end caps wandered off over the years and I got tired of my jury rigged ends. I work in a complex of 4 aircraft hangars all in a row and each one sized to hold a 747, so I do a lot of tool box rolling depending in which hangar the broken plane...

To my mind that's a less desirable one as it has sliding doors on the back and less drawers on the end. Looks like it was painted with a brush on the front. I'd offer $350 and aim for $400 if you really like it. I've had mine home from work and they take up a lot of room in the garage. As a...

I've got pretty much a full career standing on cement Aircraft hangars and have had good luck with unlined Redwing's with their SuperSole soles. I like the 953 model, they stand up to the jet fuel, engine oil and hydraulic fluid (Skydrol) I come in contact with. I'd like to try some of those...

Handy Universal Scissor Jack and Harbor Freight bead breaker. They both are great time savers and I wish I had bought them years ago.

Early in my career as a A&P Mech I bought a complete 3/8 drive set of Snap-On deep well sockets and after 35 years I'm sure some of them haven't even been off the rail. It's funny to look at them and think they're still virgins.

My motorcycles have shared a two car garage with the same conditions as yours and I've noticed no corrosion on the bikes caused by the melting snow from the car. After 25 years in the same house it's not been a problem. I understand the concern but I don't worry about it. I think the worse...

Spline drive nuts and bolts are used on Jet engines and that's what Snap-On designed their tools for. The wrenches work on regular hardware also but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy them for that purpose.

Those Northern wheels look similar to what comes on less expensive toolboxes. The work good if you don't do much rolling around and they won't flat spot. I like phenolic wheels for my heavy toolbox that I have to roll long distances in the aircraft hangars, they last a long time and roll easy...

These wrenches are only 35 years old but they certainly are odd, British Standard sizes.

Can you switch to a #10 screw, 3/16 bolt.

I can't help with a source for those clamps but any auto parts store has fuel injection hose clamps. In function they are similar to the clamps you're looking for as they don't bite into the hose.

Thanks for the Welcome Bill. Here's a pic you guys may find interesting. A much younger Tommy standing under 450,000 pounds of Boeing 747-400 supported on 3 jacks.

+2 On Cobalt and L/H bit. Watch out with the heat you don't light your carpeting on fire, happened to a very sharp pal of mine.

I picked these up in 1984.

Thanks! Every Snap On box I have has the model number stamped on the upper right corner of the back. For some reason I'm having trouble using the "multi quote" function.

I love this tool box.

Here's a pic of my KR562E in it's natural habitat.
