My new tool box came! And it was 5 weeks early!!! I bought my KRL 1022 from my Industrial rep.

Beside my old Matco MB 7525.

I'll get the stainless top installed on it tomorrow before work. I love this box! It just feels right to me, and I've already gotten more compliments with it than the yellow box ever got. Only thing is, I had two people tell me the cranberry looked like Barney purple, lmao.

I think it is too dark for barney! They are just jealous, trying to down play this amazing box. There is something so classy about Snap-On boxes, especially the chrome accents that go down the sides, middle and drawers; sets it off with the "classic snapon" look! Man, just classy-cool, beautiful! The top will make it even look better! With your industrial discount how did you pay for that bad boy (if you don't mind me asking?) congrats! :bowdown:

Thanks for the comments guys!

With the discount, the box itself was 3800. For the box, stainless top, freight and tax, right at $5k even.

I sold the Matco box to another guy at work. I had planned to keep it, but he kept on me until I gave in. My instructor had almost the same box a few years ago, and I fell in love with it, so that's what I wanted.

If you don't mind my asking - why the switch?

Basically looks like the same size/configuration of box. Unless the guy you sold the Matco box to gave you $5K for it I'm not sure I'd have paid for a color change...

I didn't like the matco box. I bought it off ebay and just never liked it when I got it home. I always regretted not getting this one instead. The other guy offered me what I originally paid for the yellow one 2 years ago, so I took it. That, and I'm really tired of being the only person there with a yellow box, lol.

I actually gained quite a bit of room. I have about 3-4 inches of extra depth plus I gained an extra drawer.

Looks like a nice toolbox.

Chrome wheels on a toolbox is a bit over the top...

Keeping in line with the thread theme, a Snap-On Masters Series Box commercial. Love the competition dissing.
