Thanks for the advice. At the time I had already damaged one lock trying to drill it out but spoke to Matco once I got the box home and they told me how to access panels on top to lift the locking bar open. I took all 3 locks out and need to decide if im gonna order new locks from Matco or try...

Thank you. Yeah its rough but solid.

Lol. This is one box I got from a storage unit I won at auction. So ive learned that Fred was a tech for Detriot diesel in Lodi NJ for 35 years. I have another box with his name painted on it. He passed away in 2017. The unit belonged to his son and he stopped paying i guess. Thanks for the...

I have what I believe to be a vintage Williams toolbox. Trying to figure out how much it might be worth in its present condition. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Good idea. Im gonna get to it eventually, right now im spending about 30-45 min every night just getting it emptied and cleaned up so I can put my own tools in it. 3 kids and too mnay other things to take care of so its a slow process Going through all the tools will be my next step so can...

I havent seen anything rotted but havent looked too close. The one drawer that has the biggest issue is the 4th one down In the middle. It locks up half way in or out, if I pull really hard on first pull or pull with both hands I can get it to open up all the way/close

I called corporate. He didn't even have a parts list for it. Ive read others couldn't get parts for a 96 box so maybe its luck? Or how long they made that particular box idk. Right now having issues with 2 drawers. The rest seem like a bit of cleaning and lubing up will help

Lucky you! They told me they had no parts list for mine and its a 1992. I wonder if I can get a part number off the slide if they can still send some

Seems so. I did find them but the price i saw was $96 for 1 slide!!! I think after I organize all my tools im gonna work on cleaning and lubing the slides and if they ever all fail ill probably just roll the box off a cliff as it would be cheaper to replace the entire thing then just the slides...

Thats alot of sockets! I just finished cleaning out the rest of the draws on the box I got so can clean it up and put my tools in. The process of organizing and cataloging all the tools I found in the storage unit is gonna take some time but definitely some good stuff in there just wish I found...

Oh yeah forgot to mention that. Mine does too!

Your box looks to be a bit newer then mine. I like it! I just checked out that link posted below some good info on there. Im gonna start tearing it down cleaning and lubing the slides see if it helps. Def a bit disappointed in Matco in regards to the ability to get parts. He couldnt even get a...

I have a vintage Hein Werner jack available. Appears to be in good shape, pumps up when I used it but only tested with no weight on it. Located in Dutchess County NY. 12538 Looking for $125 OBO

Yes. He doesn't have a parts list for that box anymore! So no help with anything which *****. Ive read some other posts about people with snap on boxes and good luck getting parts from snap on. Maybe ill have to look at a snap on box down the road instead lol 😅

Looking to see if anyone has some info on new slides that will work for a 1992 Matco MB1900. Most of them seem to work fine but a few are sticking and one in particular needs alot of force to open or close past a certain point. Gonna try clean and lube them up but if I need to replace them would...

Dutchess County NY. Gonna start posting them soon see what I can get

Yeah def alot for 2 keys. Ive started removing the locks gonna Fiddle with replacing them later, the amazon ones I got dont fit right so gonna leave it for now. Yeah def some cool stuff in there gonna clean it out get my stuff in there and see what im gonna do with the rest of it. Then figure...

I have a vintage Hein Werner 3,000lb jack that im gonna get rid of. Its in good shape and appears to be in working order. What would be the best place to come up with a value for it? Or what do you think its worth? Cant find many from my quick search. Gonna end up posting it here, marketplace...

Yeah ive never really bought SAE myself never had a need for it. Only metric thing I found was Snap on set of wrenches going from 10mm to 24mm but missing 3 of them. Huge SAE wrenches though biggest being 1 1/2 i think. Probably gonna turn to ebay and just let them go for what they go for not...
