My Craigslist Purchase - REVEALED!

[Zrexxer]

OK, I posted a teaser when I picked this thing up on Monday, because I couldn't get it out of the trailer until the weekend... plus I wanted to do a little cleanup on it, since it was FILTHY. Less than two years old, but it inhabited a welding shop and in addition to being absolutely coated in black grinding dust, it had a fine overspray of red oxide primer over most of it.

After getting it unloaded today I did about 4 hours of hard work buffing off the overspray and cleaning out the grit, and I was pretty happy with what I found underneath.

HRA2418, three bays, 18 drawers in Extreme Green. And yes, I have the receipt from the SO dealer showing where the guy paid CASH for it with a zero balance owed.

I don't really have room for this box but I couldn't leave it behind. My business partner and I bought several thousand dollars worth of welding equipment off this guy, so he sold me the box for (what I consider) a really good deal. $1500 samoleans... looking at the price on SO's website now I think I did OK This is actually the first Snap box I've owned, and I just thought the key was the coolest thing

[Shadowdog500]

Wow that is a great looking box.

 

[Lookin4'67Galaxieconv]

Very, very, nice!

Did you take some before pictures? I'm be curious to see what it looked like then, seeing as it looks brand new now.

What a box to break your Snap On cherry!

I didn't take much in the way of before pics, just this one showing some of the crud underneath the drawers... doesn't really represent how gunky the whole box was

[Bull]

Hey, Kermit called, he wants his...oh, never mind. Nice box and nice price!

 

[Hiball]

Sweet Looking box.. Congrats.

 

[Zrexxer]

Oh, and I'd like to thank the Academy, and most of all WVU Tuba Dale and his own recent KRL Extreme Green purchase, for giving me the courage to bring color into my shop

 

[t100]

filling that sucker up is gonna be a *****

 

[X1 Mike]

Great deal on a sweet box. No problem with the color since you're a Kawasaki guy.

 

[Diesel_Crawler]

Wicked box and wicked color

 

[Kurt4440]

[GeorgiaHybrid]

My sentiments...exactly.

 

[t100]

I have a similar 3-bay Matco, 64" wide. I'm wondering why they don't put 6 casters on them instead of 4.

All I can say is
YOU ****

 

[SouthCoastMudder]

Hmmm... If you EVER decide you want to sell it, I can be there in an hour....

 

[GDA]

Another great score on a SO box on CL. Congrats!!!

 

[LGMechanical]

Wow I just creamed myself.

Very nice box, and I like the colour. Although I'm more of a blue box guy

 

[bry@n]

Great deal congrats. The green is really growing on me.

Had a feeling you'd sniff this one out...

 

[Diesel_Crawler]

So when do we get the pictures of it full of tools!?

 

[Zrexxer]

Gotta try and reason out how I'm going to allocate everything... most of my main line stuff is in my two-bay Matco now, which I'm hoping to keep too.

[nolatoolguy]

You ever wana get rid of it ile take it off your hands for free even come pick it up myself. LOL


But seriously its a pretty good box, good job

 

[Brookesy]

lol you got it easy just cleaning off the muck, when i bought my box half the drawers had gearbox oil all over them.

 

[MarshallGirvin]

:hitit: ...wow

 

[chadster1]

I would of bought it for that price.

 

[Mickey O]

Very nice, I think everyone has the "you ****" covered already. Did you find any goodies when you pulled the drawer out?

 

[Zrexxer]

Did you find any goodies when you pulled the drawer out?

No buried treasures... and I knew there wasn't anything left in the drawers, because I had to help the guy get his stuff out of the box when I bought it.

 

[Skyline]

Great box.

 

[trodery]

Very nice!

I like GREEN!

 

[Dan in Pasadena]

YOU.....um.....er......draw an EXTREME VACUUM!

I like that a LOT! Red and blue are beautiful, but frankly ordinary. This is anything but ordinary.

Is this a new level of acclaim? If so I'll have to start setting my sights higher. I eventually want to collect the whole set, ya know?

Zrexxer, that is one awesome box. It matches my Mustang, if you decide you really didn't want it... I'd give it a nice home.
