Just wondering what are your favorite stickers that you have stuck on your toolboxes? Mine are a nice big "Nabors Production Service" sticker, just because I had to bust my *** on service rig doing heavy oil for a year and a half to get it, which is about as close to hell as you can get without fighting in a war. The other is a huge "Jiffy Power Ice Drills" sticker that pretty much spans right across the face of a whole drawer. Besides being a great sticker its a good reference point eg: "When your done it goes 2 drawers up from the Jiffy sticker"

Personally I'm not a fan of tool box stickers. Just the proper makers badge for me please. But to each their own. :beer:

I'm not a fan of stickers at all. Or colors other than black, red, or Kennedy brown, though I'd make an exception for Hazet blue.

However, I do like some stickers on the inside of the lid of my top box, or on my work surface. The ones with tap/drill bit sizes, cross references, that sort of thing.

None.

:)

But true.

Buy a few used boxes that have them and you'll understand my disdain.
But hey...we're all teenagers once.

I like old vintage/retro tool stickers and Motorsport ones but only on older well used boxes, gives them character. I prefer the clean look on newer bigger boxes.

I have a Snap On sticker on my top box, as the nameplate is MIA. Other than that, just this one.

Just the faded Mac sticker on the top chest. Is that sacrilege on a SO?

Guess I don't care.

I still dig this aluminum equipment tag-style Firefly sticker.

I have a magnetic Route 66 shield on my Matco box. The paint has probably faded around it by now.

My favorites are the "I Voted" stickers.

I put stickers all over mine. Don't see a reason not to - I don't plan on selling it in the foreseeable future, and if I get new ones these will get repurposed at home. Also, three other guys have the same boxes in my shop, so stickers help with confusion if they get rolled around.

Anyway, my favorite sticker says "Stupid should hurt." Other favorites that are stuck on things around the shop include "My carbon footprint is bigger than yours" and "Danger is funny."

I've always liked the ****** Header stickers. I also collect emblems on my box. Emblems last way longer that stickers and can be reused.

My craftsman box has a bunch of stickers from the aftermarket racing companies I use to modify my jet skis. My snapon box has no stickers. It doesn't need any to look cool.

I have a decal off a skidsteer on the drop front of top chest. There are my old cert tech magnetics from ford and a Dale Jarrettt UPS Taurus magnetic on the top corner of the bottom box. The bobcat head on the bottom drawer is a metal cutout and held on with double sided tape. On the back of the top box is a large "Old Abe" Case decal. That is about as loaded up with stickers as I like a modern box. I think old box from the 50's and 60' look good with stickers from the era.

I'll add this...if I were to put stickers on my box, I would likely put them on magnetic sheets first, then apply them to the box. Easily removable, and non damaging.

Maby if I had any toolboxes worth bragging about I'd refrain from putting stickers on them, but then again probably not. By the time I get rid of a toolbox its not worth anything anyways, and I like a tasteful collection of stickers. Oddly enough I don't realy like actual toolbox stickers, I find most of them tacky. I don't put just any sticker on my box though, its got to be toolbox worthy. Besides the ones I mentioned I've got a Husqvarna sticker, a Ruger sticker, and the Journeyman sticker that you get when you complete a trade in Alberta. Going to add a second one of those in the next couple years.

Eh, stickers aren't a big deal really. If its the type of sticker that comes in Jegs or Summit Racing type orders those come off easy enough. Decals are something different altogether. I've used Goo-gone with a pretty high degree of success at getting stickers and the adhesive off. Decals are a completely different deal though.

I got a stainless steel box and without stickers I think it looks like a medical cabinet. So I just put old school drag stickers on it. I think it gives it some pizzazz. If I had a painted box id just leave it be.

I always liked the Snap-on sticker that said I invest in precious metals.

Bob

I make my living with my Snap On tools. Please don't ask to borrow.

...i have both of those

I've been searching eBay and amazon for a few for the taco wagon i'am 'restoring'... for the few spots my bodywork skills could have been better. In general I only use stickers to cover blemishes.. but i'm just a guy with a home garage full of mostly snap on so what do i know :eek:

That's a heckuva good idea. I've got some old Holman Moody stickers that would look good on my HF box but didn't want to destroy the patina.

I've only got a Flowmaster sticker on my rollie right now. I want to add more stickers and **** to it, just because I have fun with it. If it's mine, it's generally black, with stickers and what not. Lol.

My favorite one is: There are some things we hold near in our life, the tools of our trade and our dear little wife. So you don't ask to borrow my tools and I won't ask to borrow your wife! My second fav is a little furry guy giving the middle finger and next to him it says NO TOOLS LOANED!
