i'm sorry but dressing up a ****** toolbox doesn't make it worth any more with craftsman tools inside of it.

sorry if it offends anyone but its true, the classic 78 series *****. classic red in the KRA and KRL series is all i like with the exception of the lime green

Why does it have to make it worth more and who said it did? Why can't someone do something just because they think it looks good? It seems like around here lately if someone doesn't like something it ***** and should be banished from the face of the earth. Different strokes for different folks, get over it.

cool

AKA suckers who are part of the reason so many have such high debt. People who need status symbols, tend to try to "keep up with the Jones"

Ahem, Today's young techs? What about us older people, who knew you could paint, duct tape, grease, etc. stuff, OR grew up when you bought things with parts diagrams, so you could take them apart and fix them? (insulting the older customers creativity?)

You're working out of an old KRA road chest and you're busting on people buying Classic Series rollcabs?

no, i am working out of the road chest and a KRB series combo. the classic 78 just feels cheap. somthing about the way the drawers lock in the closed position makes them seem junky unlike the KRA series.
the whole graphics idea mostly appeals to brand new techs. if they buy the box then more power to them, i still don't like the 78's

The Classic 78 is a KRA series box, I'm not sure what you are perceiving as junky feeling but I don't get that out of the one I own at all but I also realize its not a KRL either.

I mean the drawer latching can be a pain sometimes, they don't catch easily, or they can pop out, but my box has also gotten abused when i wasn't around it i was ready to kill people.
