Let's see your toolbox stickers and decals.

[Gurp]

I know not everyone is into stickers and stuff on their personal boxes, but if you are let's see them!

Here's some of mine.

I still remember where I got each one. Sometimes I wish I never put them on my box, but some of them have a lot of meaning behind them and have some sentimental value. The Blues Brothers sticker used to be on my Uncle's Snap On Taco Box that he had when he worked at Potamkin Datsun in Manhattan. John Belushi came in and purchased a brand new Datsun Z and he signed these for everyone. My uncle gave me the tool box but unfortunately I had to sell it 20+ years ago due to lack of space at the time (I still know where the box is and want to try to get it back). You can still kind of see the autograph but I pretty much ruined the decal trying to remove it. Oh well better than nothing and I love the story behind it.

Love the story with it.

Excuse the piss poor lighting at the shop. My trusty Craftsman which has served me well and has not gotten me chewed out by HR (amazingly).

Goosebumps! That brings me back

Cant stand stickers on boxes. Makes them look like giant, cheap billboards. Also unless these company's are paying me to advertise their ****, they aint going on any of my boxes.

 

[Catfishdan]

Here’s my giant, cheap billboard

 

[Catfishdan]

I like that picture of the 2nd generation econoline van. I had a 69 for a while. Still my favorite van body style.

 

[CHI_Tool&Die]

My Kennedy chest (these are magnets instead of stickers) that’s been waiting to go to work but I just haven’t had the time to move out the Craftsman at the shop. I think I have Elvira and something Chicago themed on every box I own.

That's all of 'em. Nothing here to excite HR.

Points awarded for the SYF!

(I was beginning to think I was the only one around these parts!)

I know not everyone is into stickers and stuff on their personal boxes...

I'm one of those that will not put stickers on my tool boxs, but I do have a grey Craftsman top chest with stickers on it...involuntarily.

While working up in Cleveland at a shop where we made robotic seam welders, I finally got to the point to where I could take a break instead of fixing some of my rookie mistakes. Welp, leadman got happy with the Brady wire label printer and decided to label by drawers for me; By the various sizes, color, and models of *** toys, thus no pictures I'm willing to post. One day, one of the kids will ask about the labels and I can't wait for THAT discussion.

I don't know why I worry about re-sale value of the boxes but stickers hurt me just once on the one and only trade in; I ain't trading in boxes anymore. I only got roughly 40% of it's value when I'd get about 80% if I took the time to remove them myself. Most of my stickers that come with purchased products I love enough to stick on something are on the refrigerators.

I see some aVe and South Main Auto stickers, love it!

 

[Ricky Joe]

This is, appropriately, on my welder!

 

[Go-rebels]

Just the original 50th anniversary "1970" calendar.

 

[jumpstart]

Heres a few.

 

[Matt XYZ]

Not too many, only a few conspicuously under the top lid

 

[isb cornbinder]

I have hundreds of stickers. I do not like any of them on my toolboxes. SO, I buy that fridge magnet sheet material at STAPLES. I put the magnetic sheet material on the stickers. This way I can remove or change out as I feel. I gave a bunch of stickers away. I think stickers make an ugly mess. I have one "T" shirt with a vintage SnapOn tool truck on it. I do not wear "T" shirts.

 

[Bockscar]

My first tool box....my second box has decals as well no pix of it at the time....think it is at my dads house

 

[brownbagg]

It may be ADHD, but I take my stickers and put them on a magnetic sheet, cut them out and then put them on the box. And I can move them around as I get new ones.

Ive never heard of that before but its a cool idea.
I figure I dont plan on selling my boxes. so I'll let them have character. If life happens so be it.

This thread is another plus for cheap toolboxes. No worry if it's no name and you put stickers on it.

 

[brownbagg]

most picture of some toolboxes would be illegal today with the moral upset, think about it toolboxes goo back fifty years and some of the garage stickers really toe the line back then, and today, I be afraid

You realize 50 years ago was 1972, right?

 

[ooba tooba]

One on my K5 and quite a few on my old Mac setup

You are definitely not wrong. But post them anyways. Lol. For "educational" purposes.

 

[yjWrangler]

I think stickers look pretty good on old drop front top boxes

 

[GreenIron]

New sticker added.

My son saw this at a convenience store and thought I'd like it.



I did.

 

[Doug]

Yes, I have a sense of humor.

 

[Bulldog13]

Just my rolling cart gets the sticker treatment

 

[Lookin4'67Galaxieconv]

Some of mine.

I wouldn't worry about stickers and tool box value unless I had a ten thousand dollar Epic, which I won't.

 

[GaryM909]

I bought this Snap On cart off the truck back in the 70's. I now use it as a welding cart. Some of the stickers are over 40 years old.
