Did I get a decent deal on this box?

[Scottsdale10]

Just picked up this waterloo traxx model trx1200 but can't seem to find any pictures like it online or other information on this specific model the guy wanted 75 i got it for 65 seemed decent has some nice hand made add on's like a screwdriver holder and a drawer divider oh and the guy added heavy duty casters

That is a very good deal it is American made and was probably in the $600 range when it was new in the later 90's. Very good sir. You ****.

You son of a *****, I would kill for a box that big for under $100, I need a box bad and everyone on craigslist in my area wants $150+ for small craftsman ones. You ****.

 

[Scottsdale10]

Well awesome! it's decent put has random old holes from add ons and the paint is in crappy shape thinking about repainting it but can't decide how much work it would take

That's pretty amazing as you problem know from browsing Craigslist in this area. It is very rare to see tool box's or tool items for a good deal.

 

[Scottsdale10]

I know i've been looking for months and never see anything good this was a half hour away and such a good deal I don't even know where i'm putting it yet but I couldn't pass it up

Outstanding suckage on that purchase, well done sir.

Personally I'd clean it up and use the heck out of it as is. I think these look better with light wear than obviously redone paint jobs. Unless you're a good painter.

 

[bobemmerich]

Good deal...I nominate you for the "You ****" award...LOL

 

[paramud]

You had to of sucked **** to get that box at that price.

Love those dividers

Seems like a lot of box for the money. Good buy!

(er, You ****!)

 

[CNGsaves]

Thou hast earned premiere Suckage elite !!

. . . yeah really, YOU **** !!

Decide how much work you want to do as holes could be filled with bondo, JB Weld, or MIG welding. Sand her down, prime, and paint.

You ****!

 

[jeepinerdeep]

Sure looks like a lot of box for 3 20's and a five spot. Good score.

You ****!!

Friction or ball bearing slides? BB would add a little more to the suckage, but friction wouldn't take any away. I've got a very similar Waterloo-made Craftsman lower 20+ years old (bought new) with friction slides, long wanted a second but never jumped.

ball bearing and i'm pretty sure I want to paint it looks way better in pictures than in person. I could fill the holes with my mig welder no problem. I think I mostly want to paint it because I want to have a hammered finish I was thinking of repainting the body rustoleum hammered siliver and then reshooting the drawers red kind of like the old craftsmans but I can't decide if it would look good or not.

Prep work is extremely important and time consuming to do and it will make or break the paint job, if you got A LOT of time than go a head but it will be alot of work.
