bought a top box

[Big Vic]

Hello my names Victor new to the site thought I post my new purchase and get some feedback on the price. I paid 500$ for this Snap On top box (just got) and 800$ for the bottom box (a while back). Total I spent 1300$.

P.S. I know its a bit messy on the top, I was cleaning out the black Snap On roll cart and transferring my tools to the big box.

I don't have $1300 to spend on a new tool box, but if I did, I could only wish I had similar deals going on over in my neck of the woods.

And welcome to GJ! The top of your tool box may be nothing compared to how messy it can get in here at times, though all in all, I think you'll like it.

thanks guys...yeah the drawer lay out is nice but the sizing on the long drawer was a little disappointing it wasn't deep enough to accommodate my deep impact sockets standing up so looks like im going to have to get the old school rail type organizer but o well.

I like the layout of that box. How deep is it?

I like the layout of that box. How deep is it?

I haven't measured the drawer depth but its less the 4" my guess 3". My black roll cart was 4" and could fit my deep impact sockets on there holders standing up.

Outstanding! I've been looking for a top box like that one. I have the identical bottom box to yours. That set looks great together.

Nice set up. I like the draw configuration. Good heavy duty box. Welcome aboard the forum

nice box dude. a local shop here in town has the same one, top and bottom. i know his bottom box is slides and his top box is ball bearing.

i am looking for a similar top box to set on my KR1000 roll cab. kinda wish it would have been 29" deep

thanks guys. Just in case your wondering the top box is a KR 670 http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/parts/pro_det.asp?Item_id=34261&group_id=7829 and the Bottom is a KR 560 http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/parts/pro_det.asp?Item_id=34218&group_id=7793

I bought the same set when it came out in 1988 . $3500.00 introductory offer with a regular price of $4000.00. I still have it and love the way the top box is flat with a mat. As you mentioned the only drawback is storing sockets upright. I store my 3/8" in the top drawer of the bottom box, 1/2" right below and 1/4" in one of the side drawers. Anyway , congratulations on such a good deal.
