[Zrexxer]

Saweeet. FYI the Matco body tools are made by Martin, top notch stuff.

 

[bmwpower]

damn you pawn shop guys.

 

[krizdog]

thanks, im debating on selling them, ive got a old set of blue point hammers and dollies that i love, i just couldn't pass that deal up.

 

[Zrexxer]

I've got the fiberglass handled ones, and they were a pawnshop purchase but a good bit more than $35

 

[krizdog]

i love, that cornwell cart i wish i had one. how do you like it? is it pretty big?

I like it, it's bigger than it seems and DANG heavy. Roller bearings on the drawers, and thick gage steel. I had two of them, but sold one when I got my Matco two-bay.

 

[bchee]

I think mine looks like that

 

[Zrexxer]

I think mine looks like that

Yep, except yours still has the chrome on the logo

 

[krizdog]

do you guys think they are worth the price brand new, or should i just watch out for a used one.

 

[bchee]

I would definitely get a used one, but I personally always try to buy everything used when I can

However for something like this, in this particular color, would take a while to find used.. probably

 

[Zrexxer]

Depends on your need and timetable I guess... they sell for $699 on the truck, but the most I've paid for a used one on Craigslist was $325.

i found a krsc31 snap-on one in town for 350$ which i thought was a good deal, but i am in love with that cornwell cart. the cornwell guy in town here has a used 8 drawer cart and i think he was 600$ for it. i don't work in a shop or anything so that kinda money for a toolbox is a big purchase for me, so im just trying to find the best deal. thanks for the help.

If you're in love with the cart, but not necessarily the color, check out NAPA

They have something that looks surprisingly similar. Has the plastic edges on the corners

 

[krizdog]

[krizdog]

Defintely a you **** deal!!!!!!!!! I was juist recently looking up some prices on truck brand hammer and dollies and was blown away by their high price.

I must say that I believe you were rewarded for going with the GF to get her hair done. Been married 30 years this month and have never gone with my lovely bride to get her hair done. Don't go shopping with her either. I love her with all my heart, but some things are beat done apart,,,,,,,,,,,though if getting deals like that are involved, I might have to rethink my position

But Matco like to charge quite a bit more for the red paint..

 

[krizdog]

Shes got the key to my heart, its called a trust fund, so i do what ever she says. I just hope it pays off.
