Nice. Certified? Just curious. I'm being slaved at a Best Buy. Take some pics of the drawers open I wanna see what you're housing in that monster. lol
nah, cert. ran out back in '99. too lazy to take it again. CEA is right up the street from me so I really have no excuse but eh..
you should see if there are any tweeters near you. I think we have stores down there still. coming from CC myself years ago, would never look back at that place..
i'll get some pics of the drawers. I have 5 or 6 ill upload to my orig. post.

Ahh, the kings of the bolt on custom. Being a 50's style custom enthusiest, its hard to not lough when people drool over the "custom" cars they build. Not saying what they do is easy, but bolt on kits is a LONG way from the hand formed and hammer welded body panels that a 50's style custom requires.
Reme left?
yah. he partnered up with another car 'dealer'. supposedly will is taking UW down to florida.

My small collection at home
I wouldn't call that small. That seems like a good amount of storage space.

My box...
From afar:
Top Box
Typical top compartment catch-all...captured in it's "natural" state:
Top three drawers (l to r) picks, blades, pens, leatherman WAVE in there somewhere....car stereo guys know what these are...punches, bits, hole saws, etc.
Screwdrivers, mostly Craftsman, a couple of telco specialty tools (Jonard)
Grip tools, snap-ring pliers. Don't judge me on the HF...I lose a lot of pliers.
Some electrical stuff...Klein dikes, new tinsnip set, my ONE Snap-On tool, the 12v test light.
DeWalt corded and Makita 12v cordless drills
Intermediate Box
Flare nut wrenches, strap wrenches, drill bits, miscellaneous epoxy/lube/compounds
Valve spring compressor, straight edges, measuring tools, bolt-out, etc.
Timing light, heat gun, hammer, cutting wheel, soldering iron in the microphone bag...
Rolling Box
Wrench sets, Craftsman full polish reversing ratchets, some GearWrench...Fuller and Diamond crescent wrenches...miscellaneous Craftsman fractionals...
Sockets & ratchets, primarily Craftsman, torque wrench, some ball-end metric allen T-handles (trying to find a better place for those)
Compression tester, tap & die kit, B&D faux-Dremel, multimeter, mini-tool kit, MityVac, other random engine tools...

Jack stands, drop light, various polishing/cleaning tools, catch-all of various junk...

Yes I did. I like the other brands also. I own a big mix. But when it came time to investing my money & did my homework.
Hi DaveBlank,I was playing around with the on-line Matco configuator feature,and wanted to ask you if you know why they don't show a lock on the 6 series intermidiate chests? It does have one,doesn't it? Does the top lid setup have gas struts that hold the lid up,and does it stay in a straight-up position,or does it lean down some? Also,when you order a bottom,intermidiate and top lid setup,does it come all in one piece? Or is assembly required.how does the 6s compare to a KRL series setup? Hope you don't mind all the questions....Thanks,Steve

On the intermediate box there is no lock cylinder. It will attach to the lock rods on the main box & work with that. The lid accessory opens to between 80-85 degrees do it's allmost straight up. The 6 series can be shipped pre-assembled. Also all locks will be keyed alike if requested.
Compare to KRL--they are both quality boxes. We can say ours is stronger/better & so can Snap-On. I know that ours can be configured to meet your needs for no cost. I don't know if the KRL can. I would buy it from the dealer that I had the best working relationship with & could get me a price that I could work with.
I sent you my # in a pm. Call me if you get some time.

And I just picked up a Burgandy Cornwell 36" wide top and bottom box today, since I am just now getting started in the mechanic world... I'm 23, and have been at a Kubota dealer for 3 months now.
