Is snap on the only source for Krl slides?

[bsaint]

I blew two sets apart putting the drawers back in moving my tool box. 73.50 a set is steep or no? Is there a Asian source? It’s a krl1000 series box.

usually my snap on dealer will warranty them no questions asked, if they ask if your the original owner just tell them it was passed down to you. i have several older boxes in good shape with new slides that i warrantied

if they ask if your the original owner just tell them it was passed down to you.

Preferably, you could just tell the truth.

I am the second owner off the snap on truck. I didn’t realize they are warrantied for life.

If you bought it off the truck it should be warrantied!

They are indeed warrantied,my dealer warrantied a set of slides for a 1984 vintage box last year for me before I finally got rid of it.

Just tell your Snap on guy to warranty it.

It helps to have them already removed from the box and in your hand when you confront the Snap-on dealer.

I just go straight to buying the slides but talk to the Snap-on dealer and for Pete's sake tell the truth and see if you can get them at a discount off the list price. If the dealer warranties them even better but still offer to pay if need be. I am sure the dealer might be able to help you if you are honest and not trying to get something for free.

You can always contact Snap On directly too. I got some replacements from them for a box I have.

Unless your dealer is really good I would just call. No waiting for his inventory, chancing he forgets for a week, or waiting for the day he stops by.

Is it a KR 1000 or a KRL series?

A KR 1000 is older and a driver is not likely to have the slides on his truck. You’ll need to have him order them.

A KRL series, like a 1023 is much more likely to have in stock and you should be able to swap them out no problem.

They call it the krl 1000 series so I figured it’s anything that’s krl10xx

Snap On chat may not even ask if you're the original owner, just have your serial # ready 'cause they'll need that to reference part numbers, unless you have a part # for the slides already

When I chatted for new lid struts they wanted the serial # to know what I'd need. Pulling the box from the wall wasn't convenient but the part # was right on the struts. Once I told him that he was happy to just send me out 2 of the part # I provided

I called them up and told them the whole story and they are sending out 2 new sets for free. I love snappy.
