Let's see your toolbox.

[Shelbylex]

Cool story. I also bought my box. I think I was 17 at the time.
Do you have a picture of your box? That’s true, you never know
What treasures are in your neighbours basements lol

Here are couple of pictures. Sorry, poor quality - just did them

 

[Shelbylex]

More of my boxes. I know, they are no match for what some of you guys have, but that's what I have now. Some of the tools like more modern Husky wrench set and other tools are not in the boxes which I am going to show.
Lets start with KR-56 1955

 

[Shelbylex]

This is 1963 KR-58B and Kennedy (sorry, do not know how to determine the age)
On the bottom is my small box with SK tools (except for 2 ratchets which are in Kennedy)

 

[Shelbylex]

This is Blackhawk Red Rover 1937-1939?
I started cleaning the drawers, but need better weather to wash the main body outside (too much dirt and grease on it). Will need some work. The caster wheels are all damaged (indented on the side) from standing for decades without movement and will need to be replaced.

KRA-420 Sorry, no good pictures - this was picked up in NH by my friend and is currently in Western Mass awaiting delivery till COVID19 subsides

 

[Jeff3347]

Very nice boxes and tools

 

[Shelbylex]

Thank you. And all I was thinking about is a small Husky box for existing tools prior to buying the KR-56 : )

 

[sqyards]

not brand new, the mac was my pops (retired 53yr big airplane mechanic) Eastern air for most) a.few kennedys he bought at work and handed down. they work for me

 

[Shelbylex]

Squares, the red one looks like a Huot to me
I think the company gives replacement decals for free to vintage box owners (it should go in an oval)

 

[sqyards]

shelby thanks for telling me about stickers here info and address to get them for free.

Well with Snap-On having some damn good rebates I couldn’t pass up on this beautiful box. Retail is 14075.00 I got off the truck for 6100.00 with a 36” pry bar. Got a free tool box cover and 100th anniversary mug and Sweat shirt. I’m happy with that deal.

Nice KMP1163!! I had one in the Combat Green. Was a really nice box and loved the layout. Eventually ran out of room and upgraded to the TUV I have now.

Thank you, next I want side cabinets and a hutch. That should be good for me. This is for my future shop in my backyard. This will fill my hobby of being a gear head.

My father's well deserved upgrade. He sure earned it

Great choice of drawer layout. Nice to see someone else with a classic red box.

 

[jeffmoss26]

I could fill that box just with screwdrivers!

 

[Outlawmws]

Jeff, that's almost scary! I thought I had a problem...

 

[ARFLY]

I could fill that box just with screwdrivers!

I could too. I'm around 600 screwdrivers, may be pushing 700.

That's an awesome set up.

Finally had a chance to do some garage work. Got a couple pics of mine. There's still a couple top boxes I didn't get pics of yet.

Thanks, Jeff. Yep! Got the 3 drawer bottom cab and a matching 3 drawer mechanics chest-I still have it, it's just not in the pic- 10 years or so ago at work (they were going to toss it in the dumpster ) and I've been a fan ever since. The others I scored off CL. All said and done I'm into the whole set up for 300.

Mixed feelings on the flag on THAT box. At least it doesn't say Made in USA

 

[charlie.schroeder]

Made an addition since my last post in this thread a while ago. Added the locker as I was running out of space and I like to keep things in their blow molded cases.

 

[charlie.schroeder]

Out of curiosity, what happened to your top?

To install the cabinet had to remove the top to get it hung. Took the pic before it was all back together.

Great setup!

Box at work.

Nice set up. This is something that would work great for me.

And what he upgraded from. Did a really good job of filling the new one. Took several days of gathering and and digging to get to where we could see this set. He used this set in a VW dealership in the 70's. Thought he would have lots of extra space now but he didn't.

Top is Craftsman chest, bottom is a Century (assuming MB Century) and a collapsed Snap On side table (he didn't realize it was a S.O. table until we took it apart to move it to my house.)

He stopped turning wrenches professionally years ago but kept working on things from time to time through the years.

I would say he made quite the upgrade! Damn nice Snap On boxes.

Are you planning on cleaning up his old boxes?
