Finally got my first Snap On tool.

After being a mechanic for the last 8 years I finally bought something snap on.

Found it on Craigslist yesterday for a great price. Rented a trailer today and drove 100miles to pick it up. Its in great shape, except for one of the slide locks is broken.

I start a new job next week where I will have my own bay. So I can finally have a bigger box. At my current job I am constantly moving my box from one bay to the next, and have to get through some tight spots. I have been using my over stuffed Cornwell cart for the last few years.

Congrats... Sweet looking box. Im in the process of finding a bigger box myself, Ive been scouring CL but havent found it yet.

How much if you don't mind telling?

You were a mechanic for 8 yrs & didn't own "anything" Snap-on ?

1500

It can be done.

I guess I do have one of the free "Christmas" pocket screw drivers.

One of my main reasons for going with the snap on box over something else was the resale. And this was the best deal I have come across in a few weeks of looking.

Well, if you waited 8 years, at least you got a NICE Snap-on for your first one...

 

[Toolhorder]

that's a good price. The resale is best on Snappy boxes. Good choice.

Thats a nice box, by the title of the thread I was expecting a dual80 or maybe a hammer, possible some wrenches...that's one heck of a way to start it good with SO!

That thing is beautiful - I wasn't expecting that - that's one helluva treat.

Very nice box! That is the one I've been searching CL for. Good luck with your new job.

Thats a nice box and a great price. You should have no problem getting most of your $$ back come time to sell. That stainless top has got to be worth 300 alone. Congrats and welcome to the family...

I would think that $1500 for a krl1022 is a steal but thats just me. I would think he could flip that now and easily get $2500 for it. At least in my neck of the woods.

wow beautifull, nice find nad nice price, good luck with the new job

Very nice SO box. Gotta say, I really like that Cornwell cart though.

Its actually a KRL722. I would have really loved to find a 1022 at this price. There was a guy near by selling a similar 722 but without the SS top. He was asking 2500, and when I called to ask him about it he said it was sold. That was my indication to jump on this one, at this price.

Believe it or not I actually got it from a pawn shop. They must have been sitting on it for quite a bit because on Fir they marked it half price. When I went to pick it up they had a few KRA box's that they were asking twice as much for

Very nice SO box. Gotta say, I really like that Cornwell cart though.

It is a nice cart. I have been really happy with it. Just needed more room and wanted a top I could use as a work surface.

I can say that I wouldn't have passed it up.
