KRL1022 that I picked up used earlier in the year. I'm a painter at a body shop, I really only have my box there because it's where I work on my own cars until I get a garage.
The rest is still empty, i'm trying to slow down on buying tools for awhile

Link will not work for me, I just go with the saying "if it sounds to good to be true then it is."
Not sure how many they awarded, but snap on did give these boxes away in one of their promotions.

Thanks, i added the decals after to break up the green and I think it helped out huge. I also got the clear drawer top protectors but I really wish they made those in a gloss black. How much is the carbon fiber gunna run you? You cant get that for the KRL series.

That is just a plan great box, I wonder how the black will handle dust though. Then again you should be washing and waxing it at least once a week.

I couldnt stand the dust with my black classic I traded for my master series in green, now im chasing finger prints. Too bad matco cant build a good box, they add those center caster cause everything bows in the middle cause of the weight. I like the color combo though.

Beautiful box. I really like the color scheme. Maybe if I make enough extra money plowing this year I'll upgrade my Proformance box to my Matco dealer. Neither my Snap On guy or Matco guy offer particularly good trade ins on either of the other's branded tool storage. Since I got a good deal on a Matco roll cab, I'll probably upgrade to another Matco if I ever upgrade. In this area the higher end roll cabs aren't all that discounted when sold used privately. At least not enough of a discount to make up for the healthy trade in AND discount from the Matco or Snap On dealer.
The box I traded in was black with red trim. To be honest, I had more trouble with finger prints than I did with dust. Nothing a weekly wipe down doesn't take care of. Also I had no plans to trade in, but my dealer made me an offer I couldn't refuse!
Last friday I just bought a black krl722. This makes me wanna get a green one
. Anyone think the snappy man will let me trade back and get a green one? lolSnowfreak566

Worth asking, but your probably gunna take a hit. Every one in my shop has anything from the regular red, blue, and black of snappy and mac, to the stainless kobalt from lowes, but one guy has an orange macsimizer. I didnt wanna blend in anymore, lol

I just have to laugh at all this kind of talk. Waxing, wiping, customizing (at sky high prices to boot), various colors and so on.
Guys, they are toolboxes and made for work. I have a couple of Snap On boxes that are older than most forum members and so is the dirt in some of the drawers. They are full of scuffs, nicks, chips, scratches, etc. They still look presentable, still function 100% and I could care less if they get another scratch or two.
Just picked up some used large Lista boxes and they will get a quick wipe down and be put back to work, nicks, chips and all.
Oh, and BTW - the tool boxes get wiped down once every 5 yrs or so, whether they need it or not.

Do you drive a POS car that is never washed also? How about a rusty assed old shotgun that is never oiled to hunt with? Fishing rod that doesn't work half of the time?
Why must you insist on ******* in someone's Wheaties? It's their time, their money and their choice in boxes. I happen to like mine and try to keep it clean. It gets wiped down every 6 months or so but that is my choice. If you choose to keep you tools in a 40 qt igloo cooler, that's your choice and I would be happy for you.

It's their stuff, let them do what they want. Shame on them for wanting something they paid big bucks for to look nice

I figured i'd put my two cents in on this.
First, i'm completely on your side. I work on my own vehicles (mostly) but the times when they go elsewhere to be worked on, the FIRST things I look at are the tech, his appearance, and the way he takes care of his tools/box. NOTHING in this world shows that you care more about your job and the work you perform than a clean work area and a tidy appearance.
Sure, mostly in the world, a toolbox is only there to perform it's duties.....holding tools. Letting it get all beat to ****, scratching it up and really not giving a damn about it is absurd, especially considering how much money people sink into these things. It's an INVESTMENT of your CAREER for christ sake.
I'll give you the best example. When I moved back to IL and bought out my brother, all I kept hearing was "a toolbox is merely to hold tools...wiping it down weekly is a waste of time and effort". This coming from someone who owned a 10 year old, beat to **** husky tool box. I won't get into all the details but, after a period of time, I came into some money. I decided to do something nice for my brother, and buy him the box he'd always wanted, but never could bring himself to buy. The day the box arrived, before a single tool went into it, it had a fresh coat of paint sealer and two coats of wax put on it. Now, EVERY single friday my brother and I both are seen cleaning our boxes with a spray wax. MONTHLY they get buffed and fresh coat of wax applied.
He never really understood why I did all that, until one day a customer came through our new shop and said "wow, you guys really care about what you do. You seem to be the type to "make it right no matter what"".
I'd be willing to bet you take two people with the same box, color, etc, put an ad somewhere selling both boxes for the same price, the one taken care of...sells first.
I dunno about other guys, but the amount of money I have invested into tools, toolboxes, etc...you'd be DAMN sure that i'm gonna take care of them. Moreso now that I'm finalizing my order of my new epiq box.

It's actually two boxes we're going to "join" into one
KERN843B5PJJ
KERP842B4PJJ
There will be risers on both, a locker on each "end" and one seperating the two boxes. There will also be Overhead cabinets covering the whole length. I looked at the 144" models but they don't have risers available, nor do they have tops. Going this way is a few bucks more expensive, however I will have room to grow. Mind you, I currently have 4 KRL series that are almost completely full at the shop now. This setup should be my last one for work...EVER.
