Yea you did good enough to get a suckage award ! I see those on e-bay for $80 +

 

[tjmonsen5]

those sell for 400 new, they still make the same box actually

 

[redwrench60]

I don't have one of those.......so you're doing better than me.

 

[rallenc]

Is it repainted or is the original paint that good?

In either case it sure rates "Suckage"

Enjoy your first of many......

Man you did good! I've been looking for one of those on the cheap for years! What date code does it have? I see it has (my preferred) underline script. Somebody call the cops because you STOLE that!

 

[torqueman2002]

Yup, gotta go with the majority.

You ****!

 

[Kurn]

As a collector and user of old SO boxes,I can positively say,YOU ****!

 

[uniballer]

Dude, you ****! That is a nice box!

 

[JoeyMitch]

It has been repainted but still looks awesome!!! No dents or dings and in great condition.

Very nice!!

 

[JoeyMitch]

Thanks guys. Not sure what I'm going to use it for yet but I'm sure I'll find something!!

How do you remove the slides?

 

[tjmonsen5]

You can try sticking a feeler gauge between the drawer and the slide. That is essentially what the official snapon tool is. Otherwise, you can buy it from snapon but i forget the part number.

nice

Awesome score!

How do you remove the slides?

Ive had success with using two old hacksaw blades (one for each side used simultaneously). I cut the teeth all off (1/8 in or so) with tin snips and bend the ends slightly and slip them in the slide to release the catch.
Worked fine for me.

A big You **** IMO. I'd have bought that in a heart beat!

Ok thanks. The previous owner painted them and I just want to remove the paint. Thanks
