Saw the add for a proto 3/4 inch drive set for $150. Went there looked at it, asked what his bottom line was and got it for 125.

I am also attaching pictures of my new used box i picked up (off the snap on truck) for $2200. Its a 72" by 30(ish)" in really good shape (i put all the cummins and cat badges on to add character)

I am a 20 year old school bus mechanic at a district that provides all the tools so all my tools get to stay at home (and get used there).


P.S. The last picture is of me in the middle east, it shows who i am and a little about since i am new here.

I had the same box. The model is KRL 773. Just traded it in today. Mine got full pretty quick. If you see a snap on man on a regualr baisis, they have some dress up pieces that are made out of stainless that go nicely on the front of the drawers.

Billymade,
They provide us with everything. Most of it is snap on, proto, sk, bonney, napa, new britian???(they seem good to me) and cornwell. Our 3/4 inch and 1 inch impact stuff is made my IR for the impacts and proto or wright or snap on for the sockets.

We have a mixture of everything at work. The last school district i worked for had the same brands (except new britain) We also get alot of government surplus tools such as Bahco and other brands ive never heard of that seem to be good quality.

Great score on, especially on the box from the snap on guy. He must have needed to move that quickly. Incidentially, YOU ****!! (note: that;s a good thing here).:bounce:

Thanks for your service :thumbup:(my son gets deployed in Oct to Iraq) and good luck on your career.

Now do yourself a favor, and never visit this site again if you want to ever have any money in a savings account:lol_hitti

Nice proto set, I picked up an old plomb ratchet and breaker bar and 17 3/4 sockets for about 100, but no case and they were from the 40's-50's. Your set was a smoking deal for that price.
