Kennedy tool box

[Indy125]

Hello everyone!

I was given this Kennedy tool box, however I don't have a need for it. Other than sentimental value to a possible buyer, what would this box be worth? Thanks for any suggestions!

$25-$30

Nice cantilever box.I have the exact one.IIRC it's a #520
I would imagine someone would give you $20-$50 for it.

No. The 520 is a 7 drawer model.
I believe that cantilever is a 1018 (if it's 18" wide, or 1022, if it's 22" wide).

The price range is about right.

Ok,I'll have to check mine when I get home..I still have the Kennedy sticker with model # on it.
I probably confused it with my BIL's,he has one of the 520's.

This is a 526, the 520 is a little smaller than this one.

520 doesn't have that middle drawer. Step dad paid 30 bucks for a cantilever full of tools

I would have a hard time paying $30. $20 is more reasonable for a used cantilever box IMO.

Perhaps. But this one isn't, and they are super common at flea markets, garage sales etc. I routinely buy used cantilever boxes with tools in them for $20-$30 at auctions and sales.

Its worth whatever someone will pay for it. I would pay $20. I don't need another one, so that is a big influence on that. If its worth $50 or more to the OP, cool.

Great buy,I got mine for free....

Those freebie screwdrivers bring the value down.

I just sold one for $10 after sitting on OfferUp/Craigslist for months. Your area/market might be slightly different.

Kennedy boxes have very horrible resale value

Personally, I'm a huge fan of Kennedy boxes and cabinets. I used them throughout my working life and still enjoy them.

I also have a Kennedy cantilever box that I paid 9$ for, about 30 years ago. It's great for storing taps, dies, mill bits & drill bits. I also built a riser to place it on my Versa-cart.

Unfortunately, used Kennedy boxes and cabinets are undervalued. It's funny that I can sell a modern, low quality, Craftsman box/cabinet a lot faster than a Kennedy/cabinet.

As far as selling a Kennedy cantilever box: In my neck of the woods, I'd probably stick it on CL for 50$/OBO and see what happens. Depending on interest, you can always reduce the price.

Ive tried to sell mine too and it never sold. I wasnt asking a lot, maybe 30 dollars. I use it now as a I figure out how to put the same tools back into my pelican cases. Its heavy empty. After I get all my field tools back in my Pelican, the Kennedy will go back into the shed.
