If you saw my post in the Green tools thread, you'll know I just picked up this Snap On KRSC430 yesterday.
I worked on the initial layout a bit more today after work and I'm ok with it. The bottom drawer is still empty.
It most definitely will continue to change and be further refined.
I've also opted to not setup the speed drawer with the dividers for now, but we'll see what happens in the future.
Of course there are some things I'd like to still pick up and I've definitely got room to grow into this box.

Obviously these are just the basics. My bench is full of automotive tools that will be going into a secondary box and I've got another small box with my electrical/diag. tools on the bench as well, plus blow molded cases under the bench, etc... I've got way too many tools (if such a thing exists).
I'm getting the same box next Tuesday, just with stainless tops. Cool to see it laid out. Cant wait to start shifting stuff into mine and organizing it.

It's a damn nice box. Expensive, but I just couldn't help myself.
Anyway... I like the bed liner top over the stainless personally. It also matches the blacked out color scheme.

Be sure to post some pictures once you have yours up and running. I'm still looking for organizational ideas specific to this box.
Yeah I couldnt help myseld either. I needed the room and a bigger roll cart, plus I like how the top is a usable work surface unlike a flip top. I went stainless to match my Homak main box, still got blackout trim though.

I'll definitely post pictures of my full setup once I organize it. I have pliers racks coming, the pry bar locker, and OEM wrench rails. Also thinking about the slotted panel side...

We just got a shop built and I asked in another thread about using my existing tool boxes in the new shop. After very little consideration I decided it would be crazy to move old tools into the new shop 😂 Plus that’s no fun 😉

I posted a pic of the box in the truck before I got it unloaded, here it is in the current garage. Snap On

Here is how I organized it for now. I am sure I will tweak and change things several more times to find what works best. I still have 2 empty drawers. I will see what configuration I will do with the speed drawer after I get the rest of the tools from my Matco guy.

Love these. My white/stainless KRSC430 finally landed at my dealer’s warehouse. Should be picking it up next week.

It is still a work in progress but I finally have a box that is worth taking pictures of. Ot all drawers are finished, and as you can see, my hammers and airtools have separate homes. Specialty tools also go on shelves.

For some reason, socket pics always look like so many are missing. In person it looks like there are tons of sockets in there.

Nice set, Freudianfloyd. 2000 series are quite rare. Got to love it!

There was an ad with a really nice car back in the day: look at the 5th post by Bart Simpson for the ad

Thank you.

Yeah, I saw that post when researching this box. Unfortunately, being rare isn't always a good thing. The box is missing a couple trim pieces and other minor things, so I wrote Snap on for a parts diagram and they told me they don't have any parts for this box. So I guess I will have to 3d print them.

So I decided to try out the speed drawer. I put all my automotive electrical diagnostic and repair tools in it. I keep my meters and scan tool, etc. in the house, so those are not in the box.

I also cleaned up some of the lesser used automotive tools from the bottom drawer. I might get a rolling cart of some type to keep the more dirty and frequently used automotive tools in like oil change tools, brake tools, funnels, etc.

I'm not sure what to do with my power tools yet, but I may move those into the bottom drawer if I move the automotive tools into something else. We'll see.

The endeavor/journey continues...
I feel your pain. I hate reorganizing my boxes. I haven’t moved my new box to work partly due to my current drawer set-up working well. But I need more space and now I know when I make the switch I’m going to spending too many hours trying to figure out what works where.

I havent posted my KRSC yet because I'm in the same boat organizing. I have one drawer "done" right now :ROFLMAO:

Finally pulled my 3D printer out of storage and got it going again. Decided to spend way too much time trying to use up every square inch of my toolbox.

I had started making rails for my last box, but now I am trying to fill all the remaining gaps.

I have more printing now. It is fun and fairly easy to model these up. Even my 13 year old spent 11 hours in the garage with me yesterday helping out.

This thread is nothing more than ****, and I think I hate all of you! :cool::cool::cool::cool:

All I see is a.) tools I must buy, b.) confirmation that I don't own enough sockets or tape measures, and c.) an utter inadequacy in my storage means.

Step one: Get a much larger shop. Step two: liquidate my savings and call the Snap-On truck.:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Nice box - How do you like the Tekton combination wrenches? I've been eyeing them up to replace my ancient "Companion" set from Sear, but I'm hesitant because I can't see how they feel in the hand.
