Brand New Snap On Box?

[LGMechanical]

I might be pulling the trigger on this tomorrow morning. I simply can't afford the KRL.

What do you guys think?

With all the rebates and discounts I should be paying around 4.5k or less. The final price hasnt been worked out yet. Stainless steel top included

 

[I can fix anything]

I gave $3500 for my new krl1022, keep dealing.

 

[LGMechanical]

The one I am buying is 73" wide. A krl1022 is 54"

I am going through Snap-On credit. I don't have the cash to buy one out right.

 

[I can fix anything]

yea but the krl is a lot deeper and I gave a grand less.

Square inches

KRL=9563

That one=8500

5" deeper, bumpers, steel gauge, and casters. My dealer was asking 7k for the 73" KRL.

I don't know about the 73" ones, but I got mine off the truck for $3500. How are you paying for it?

Canadian prices are different than US prices

Canadian prices are different than US prices

Besides the currency exchange rate, are they priced higher?

Dunno, I am not in Canada. I just know that they are different. Snap-on Canada is operated as a separate company than Snap-on US

i bought a krl 1023 cabinet and a krl 1203 top chest last year at this time for under 10k
list price was over 16k
the snap on dealer trade show was just a few weeks ago
see what your dealer ordered the boxes usually have heavy show discounts

i've had the wide guy version of that toolbox since may. other then it not being as tall as my co-workers krl1022 next to it. i could not be happier with it

Nice box, first post?? where you been hiding

 

[09heavychevy]

Lol...just checked for the 1022 for fun and the Canadian price is almost $500 cheaper than the US price ($7435 vs $7900)

Go figure

The only thing I might add is that the extra depth of the KRL is a bigger deal and more useful than you may realise if you've only had shallower boxes before. I would personally rather have a 54" KRL which I could add a side cab to later if I wanted than a 73" wide but only 24" deep box.

Edit: For clarity to the un-initiated: Not all KRL boxes are 30" deep (ie 722) but those are the ones I was referring to. Also note that 24" is still a lot deeper than 'typical' homeowner or lower line truck boxes, which are 18 - 19".

No doubt I love the depth

Have to agree on the depth issue. My krl722 only has 21-22 inch deep drawers and i regret not getting one thats 29 inches deep. makes longer tools easier to store.

I moved from a krl722 to a krl7023 (don't like tall boxes). Never going back.

that a crazy load of ratchet. does one required that many or are they HF products?

I have an addiction. Here is drawer number 2, only temporary while my display case is being painted.


This is why depth is good, you can hold more ratchets

[blacK20]

I agree. Once you've tried a deep box, you'll never go back. Depth > width anyday.

 

[outcast]

i was offered a classic 78 for $2900 from my dealer, list is about $4400. i didn't want a "classic". while nice, they seemed kinda cheap too me. i bought a nice used krl761 for $1400. and i LOVE it !
i couldn't get a deeper box, it would not fit my space.

 

[dankicksass]

I bought a new Classic 78 for $1700 last month, makes the shop look better with it in there. I didn't want to look for used or China Freight anymore when my dealer offered me that deal.

Me likey!

 

[MoToys]

I have a krl1032 and sometimes wish the drawers were even deeper than 29".
As for the classic, i looked at one and didnt like how it felt and it's made in Canada.
In all seriousness the classic is a good box for the right price but I would wait for him to get a used krl so you can still do credit.

 

[pdxgearhead]

I gave $3500 for my new krl1022, keep dealing.

Wow, how did you get 50% off a new box from the truck?

 

[cundifc]

Yeah I paid $3400 for a brand new cranberry 7022 with a retail of 7k and I got a free jacket out of the deal. It can be done, just have to be patient and ready to pull the trigger when the right deal comes up.

Cundifc,
Was this a Craigslist thing or directly off a dealer's truck? I assumed you paid cash.

 

[SpiderGearsMan]

I poop on harbor fright

me too

 

[cundifc]

No that was from my dealer. And no I did not pay cash. I put about half down.

 

[Danglerb]

Buying a new box on credit at full or near full price vs a used box is going to cost what over say 4 years or so to pay it off, three times as much or is it more?

I can't imagine wasting that much money vs using a $500 box for a year or two until I had the cash to buy something else and sell the old one.

 

[cundifc]

Dealers will also finance them. Most of the time 0%.

My dealer actually offered the deal to me. I had been talking to him about adding on to my box. He made the offer, and I accepted. I put $2500 down and paid the rest off in about 5 weeks.

 

[LGMechanical]

I did it. 4k flat with a stainless top, and a cover.

Didnt have to trade my box. Ill just sell it for cash now.

 

[garfunkle24]

Nice, hope you enjoy your new box.

What do you guys think?

I think you should have visited Sunny St. Petersburg, Florida - and taken home a KRL 1022 Chrome Edition - for $3,500.00

http://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/tls/2603339731.html

Yes, the Ad says $3800.00 - but he's had it for sale for quite some time..
Then find one of the many many places to cross the US/Canada border where there are no Customs Agents

FWIW,
