Help identifyung a CL toolbox, and what it might be worth....

[macinco]

Anyone able to identify a brand by these pics (in this CL post).

Here is all the post says.....

"Tool Box needs a new painting but in overall good shape. Upper & Lower boxes that rolls. Some drawers are dented but with some TLC & fresh paint could be made to look very nice. Asking xxxxxxx!!! Perfect for a young man setting up shop and needing something to store his tools in. NO TOOLS!!!!!! "

Whats the max you would pay for such box?

Thanks

appears to be a craftsman 40" 16"deep top and 18"deep bottom... almost identical to mine... these are fairly common... still a better box than you will find in the store today
as for price 200-300 depending on how bad of condition

 

[macinco]

Yeah.. the guy is asking 100. I got his voicemail when I called and he has not returned my call yet. My post/call was probably 45 minites after he posted. Here is the link to the ad on CL:

looks like a approx. $1000 cman box on sale if it has roller slides. less if friction slides. for 5-600 you could get a hf set newon sale. looks a little steep for a blown up rattle can paint job.

Just to be clear sk_farmer.....re: "looks a little steep for a blown up rattle can paint job"

You wouldn't buy it for $100?

 

[krusty the clown]

it also looks af if the top box has been rivited back together

I would have already bought it for $100.

 

[petty4243]

i would be on it like a fly on S**t

 

[sk farmer]

yes for 100, you posted at 912 and i at 913. so i didn't see the price right away. i was looking at petty4243 at 2-300. sorry on the mix up. good luck.

Looks aside, that is a lot of tool storage for 100 bucks. I have that box and its just fine unless you have the drawers overloaded (hard to pull in and out). The frame of the box is solid though. I think one of the strengths of the box is that there are plenty 2 inch drawers for wrench/screwdrivers etc., and the side drawers are a little deeper for small sets in cases, etc.

I recently bought this freight damaged 40" Craftsman box with friction slides for $245. And I had to jump on it because there were guys calling the seller even as I was there to pay for the box.
At $100, even with the nasty paint job, pick it up ASAP. Wait much longer and it could be gone.

I just called the guy again... no answer (I did not leave voice mail). I'll send him an email, and if he doesn;t call me back or email me back... I'll have to assume I was not "on it" quick enough. (maybe a good thing, cause I think my wife would shoot me)

 

[macinco]

The guy just emailed me......sold (frown)

 

[sk farmer]

sorry, hope we didn't cause it

 

[macinco]

Sk....No....I had called the guy right after my first post....
