Found the site a few days ago when looking for info on Snap-on boxes. So seems appropriate to use my opening post to show my new (to me) snap-on box. No drawer pics as they are a bit messy after swapping the tools over.

I'm in the UK, box was bought on eBay as a plain red box but had the Buffalo sticker on their already. Bought it from a guy who set up a car workshop but it hadn't worked out so he was closing it down and no longer needed the box. He was off to fix planes again, no idea if he ever worked for buffalo or just a fan of the show, I enjoy the show as does my son so left it on there.

The Aston Martin stickers are actually a SO accessory set and are printed acrylic which stick on to the box. Again bought on eBay.

That's not bad I want a add on for mine but got the box so cheap it hard to justify. How do you like your 4s quality wise do the drawer handles bug you.

I started out with this as a hand me down - late 80s-early 90s Snappy 7 drawer

quickly outgrew it once I got serious about turning wrenches out of my shop for fun/side money so I bought this new which was a cluttered mess- late 90s Craftsman

First off I want to say the HF boxes are not Snap-on quality and are unlikely to be intact after 20+ years but I simply couldnt afford a similar sized box and work cart. I looked on Craigslist and reasonably local Ebay listings for almost a year. I will say that the narrow drawers on the HF box are about the same width as the non-ball bearing Snappy drawers and the HF box handles the same weight much better.

I plan to buy another HF locker for the left side and finish out ALL the empty pegs on my Hansen trays after Christmas

It's in the process of being upgraded. I grabbed the Craftsman mid and top chests on clearance for under $100 for both with tax, so those should do nicely. I also now grabbed the 17pc Craftsman Industrial 1/2" metric and its brethren in standard for $25 each, and the GF is giving me the Cman Industrial 50pc 3/8" set for Christmas.

I also foresee some Westling Machine socket trays in the near future.

Just upgraded from kra5300 series to a krl 722 rollcab. No surprise that there wasn't enough room. A search on eBay found a brand new kra1251 for les than a quarter of truck price and only 100 miles away. It overhangs at the rear, but as I leave it in the same place, it should work ok

Seems to me like a great combo. Also very good to have some of those deeper drawers. :)

Craftsman USA box, I can't complain, it's shiny, holds tools, and pretty HD. Everyone say's Craftsman's are "flimsy" even as this one is 2-4 years old it's far from that and still in mint shape.

Here's my Harbor Freight 26" and the current layout of the drawers. I put together a little mini review of the box here.

Picked up this 3 drawer Craftsman box in Midnight Blue color. This is my school tool box to be left in my autoshop locker. When the semester is over it will go in my pickup. The color matches my truck.

Here's a more recent picture of my toolbox. I'd show off some drawer pictures, but it needs some major organizing first.. I will be looking to upgrade to something much larger in the not too distant future. I have alot of overflow in the small red chest in the bottom right corner of the picture. There is even MORE overflow in a Beach toolbox that I keep behind the seat of my truck.. I'm thinkin' at least a 40" snap on box, maybe bigger..
