Nice box
Just updated my main toolbox,Well not so much the toolboxes but the carrier,My old "Unbreakable" Hi-Lux broke so I upgraded to this Land Cruiser with heavy duty suspension and added a vice (Dawn 5 inch)
They don't import them here anymore either we now only get the 4.5litre V8 diesel which has had quite a few reliability problems.My Ute has the old 1 HZ 4.2 litre six cylinder diesel no powerhouse but probably the most reliable engine Toyota ever built.I believe this engine is still available in some Africian and Asian countries which don't have Eco Nazi's
This is now in my garage. I don't know anything about it other than there are Snap-On logos ans stickers on it.
Does anyone know how to find the age and model number on one of these?
(sorry. I can't seem to rotate the pic properly.)
A year later upgraded to this:

What's the model number? I'm assuming you upgraded due to space constraints. Any other reasons you ditched the roll cart?
My humble college kid collection.

Thanks mopar man. I like variety, as long as its US made there is room in my box for it.
You might want to throw those HF crescents, washers, pliers, 3/8 extensions, zip ties, adjustable wrench, dead blow, torque wrench, grinding wheels in the trash. Same as those Milwaukee diagonal cutters, impact driver and drill
Maybe even those Irwin vice grips and black/yellow Stanley screwdrivers…might want to check the COO on those too

Well thanks for looking at my setup that closely, Im happy I could appease you. But you also missed the Knipex, PB swiss, Wera and im sure I missed some other NON US brands. I have no problems with imports assuming the quality is there.![]()
That comment was meant as a explanation to the wide variety of brands, but I figured there would be flack caught over it. Those things you mentioned are on the list to be upgraded as time goes on (besides the power tools) as that is a rather impossible feat. But when the vast majority of my hard line tools are US COO, its something I take pride in.![]()
I know you said your going to be upgrading lots of stuff when available. But watch that torque wrench from HF as from what i have seen, they over torque by like 10 ft lbs on average


I picked up this EPIQ Mobile Work Station KEMW361A1PJJ on Craigslist the other day for $1400. It was brand new never had a tool in it. I am going to use it as my main tool box for now. Really liking the 30 inch deep drawers. The quality is really nice. I had a Craftsman Premium Grip Latch 3 Stack that I liked but it was 67" tall. The Craftsman was full, but all the tools fit in the Snap-on with room to spare.

You're doing just fine Kaman, specially for your age.![]()
Nice tools Kamanhart! It looks like you have a great dollar to value ratio going on. I can tell you buy with quality in mind, but you also put your money where it will provide you the most benefit, which is something more people on GJ should do. High end tools are nice, but for a cost conscious buyer there are still quite a few low priced gems out there. It looks like you have some of them. Your tools also have some dirt and wear on them, which is nice to see. I get really tired of looking at drawers full of brand new tools that look like they were set up as a museum showcase.
I noticed when looking at your 3/8 swivel head ratchet that it has a Snap-on handle but a chromed square drive end. I also see some knurling at the top of the comfort grip handle. Is that a SK roto head with a Snap-on handle pressed onto it?
