Can anyone confirm this is Snap-On?

Not from the picture. Lots of people made drop front boxes beside Snap on. Ask the seller to check the back side for a model number. No number, probably isn't snap on. :dunno:

I've got a KRA-53 in my garage that looks identical minus the aluminum drawer trim. I gave a pawn shop $50 for mine twenty years ago. I keep measuring and layout tools in mine, but it was a track box for years. Nice solid little box.

I say no because in the ad he says "red just like snap-on".So he said it to have better search results.

Well, Duh! I just realized this is a 4 drawer box and my KRA-53 is 3. Maybe they came both ways? Still looks Snap to me. The numbers are stamped right on the back. I'd ask if you're interested.

That's not a Snap On.

:+1: I'm almost positive it is not a SO box. The 4 solid drawers is what makes me think that. The pics aren't clear enough to see the small details like sheet metal joint style, but overall I don't think it is a SO box. Key word there is think. :beer:

I think it's a Waterloo.

A Snap On box would have 1 inch wide "shelves" on top of the drawer pulls.

I'm guessing Waterloo also. The clips which retain the drawer slides will be the proof. Show us a photo of the end of the slides.

FWIW, I've got an older larger NAPA top box made by Waterloo and it is every bit is good as any of my several Snap-on top boxes.

IDK, I'm starting to think it may be a promo or kit box. The pics really are blurry, but the drawe trim, riveted on lid, 3 holes for a modern SO badge and the cut foam (feel like I have seen a SO kit like this), front tubular corners, square handle, all support the idea that the box is really a SO product. :dunno:

If I was close I would check it out, look at the slides and of course look for a SO stamp. :beer:

Who else used a barrel type key lock, but SO? I mean, yeah, someone "could" have put a SO lock in a cheap box, but the lines, the drawer trim, and the lock all look right to me, but it's hard to be sure without closer / better pic's.
