Deafautotech- i hate to admit it.... but buying that KRL was "overkill" for me. The Classic 78 was overfilled so I figured I might as well go for broke and step up to a KRL. I'd say the KRL is about 60% full. I hope to NEVER outgrow it! lol The top piece is pretty full and all the drawers move nicely. I bought that top piece brand spankin new at a swap meet (still had the plastic on it and in the box). The bottom piece I bought from Skyline (Steve) it was used but Steve did a great job of reconditioning it. You can see wear and tear on it but for the price he gave me I can't complain. That piece doesn't have a lot of stuff in it due to the fact that in order to get my firebird in the garage I only have a couple inches between the box and the car. I took a lot of measurements to make sure 100% that I could fit everything in the garage. As far as moving it with it loaded up "as is" I haven't even tried....

1956 Snap-On Tool Box Chest, with optional lower drawer kit (at bottom of lower box, under door)
Classic 1950's Vintage Antique !
My Uncle's box is similar to that. Probably owned it since new, no bottom drawer kit though, I should take a pic and post it here one of these days.

Just bought the craftsman 52'' for $880
Wish I could have gotten a deal like that... I grabbed the 40" for 700.
Anyway.... the how did you do the cutouts for the pliers? I really like that!

I'm a hop head, so I guess I'll need to try these out. The best IPA I've ever had the pleasure of knowing is Bells' Hopslam. Bells' has some of the finest craft beer around!
Stay thirsty my friend

Where did you get the holder for the pliers?
Looks to me like he cut down a dish drying rack (drainer?) or whatever they're called.
I saw them at Walmart for around $7 in black like that. Hard to justify when you can get the Plyworx 30" ones for like $20.

Anybody have a good source for the black wire dish racks?

My toolbox is pale in comparison to most of the ones here, but being a college student and not needed a lot of tools thus far in life, I think I'm doing okay.
I would have been on cloud nine to have those tools in college.

Steve, I searched but could not fine where you have restored the Macs. Did you ever get to around to them. Reason I ask is I am restoring a similar set and painting them Buick Engine Green. Man what a job. More than 40 hours on just the BOTTOM. Will share on here when I get time.

I swear that's how they do it. Same thing happened to me, i joked with him about dream box being a krl1024.
Well low and behold 3 months later what does he come up with, oh snap on credit is offering an instant 2k off purchases over 10k, i'll give you 3k for your classic 78(got it for 2200 student box and it was kinda beat up) and to seal the deal he took another 1300 off right out of his profit. So there it went from being a 16k toolbox to being a 10k toolbox i just couldn't pass up the offer.

Damn if those boxes don't look like they came as a set
That's what I said lol. I was thinking about getting a Snap On tag for the cart lol
my coworker has his cart like that with SO badge, the money could have been used for a 6 pack IMO
cant remember but up here those carts are branded differently. i lived out of one of those while my toolbox was being replaced this year.

Go for it! I started out with a pair of BluePoint carts. I got one off of e-bay and one off of CL. I kept metrics in one and SAE in the other and distributed everything else between the two. I put SO emblems on the outside and a nice decal on the inside...

Not to burst your bubble but i've never seen a blue point roll cart that looks like that.

In that case you are unfamiliar with all of BluePoint's tool carts. I'm positive both of these are BluePoint carts. FWIW I've never seen a red 4 drawer HF cart. Not saying they aren't made in the same factory in China, either.

Anybody know where you can buy shallow trays that sit on the drawer in this photo (the thing with the cougar emblem in it)?
