Bought a KRA59k

[ianguilly]

Saw this on craigslist week or so ago, finally made a deal with the owner today. Been wanting a top box like this for awhile, but now I'm trying to get a date. It's a KRA59k no date code. Any help would be appreciated.

Probably early 90's. If the model is stamped on the back, there should be a year like 92. If it has sticker, those weren't dated. Stickers are newer then stamping.

No stickers, it just has KRA59k on the back, snap on tools, and made in Canada. Possibly on a drawer maybe.

Maybe the ones that are stamped Canada don't have a date code?!

Regardless, nice box.

$200, It really is gonna just gather tools and sit untill I have my own place, since I work out of my Dad's tool box when i'm home.

Those boxes really are a cool throwback. When I started I remember those boxes and the versions before it being very popular among veteran mechanics. I have an early version of that box (KRA59A) I picked up a couple months ago. They are well built tool chests that haven't changed much over the years.

It is a heavy ***** i'll tell you that, first tool in it is a Snappy ratcheting screwdriver set.
