Name that toolbox...

[Ruffgeezer]

Just bought this as part of a job lot, I'm not convinced it's a snap on though...



Although the badge is pegged on, not stuck. Anyone got an idea?

 

[goforride57]

Looks like the real deal to me. Missing a handle and well used looking.

What's the dimensions?

 

[bobcatdan]

I'd say waterloo, that is not an SO until I'm proven wrong.

Agreed.

 

[Ruffgeezer]

There is a serial number on a label on the back, not a snapon label like I have seen in the past.

 

[devoncoolman]

Craftsman or waterloo. Not a snap-on. Handle is a dead give away. Snap-on never used that handle mount.

 

[ex-x-fire]

Doesn't snap on boxes have stamped #s?

 

[Ruffgeezer]

Well I've yet to see either a Craftsman or a Waterloo available in the Uk, unless these are some re-branding exercise?

Well its not snap-on. It deffinatly looks waterloo. Waterloo made craftsman boxes same thing.

 

[Ruffgeezer]

Well either way I shall be dismantling it and giving it a good clean, and then it'll probably be up for grabs if any of the UK lot fancy a go on it.

So what numbers are on the back? Picture maybe.....

Waterloo

 

[beatcad]

as others have said. 100% waterloo.
probably 90s or early 2000s.
could be craftsman(still waterloo made)
looks like the mid grade offering. just above the harry homeowner model and below the "pro" model. betcha a doughnut it's friction slides.
the holes/slots for the side handle are a dead giveaway.
the handle may or may not be missing. boxes of that era had those holes/slots on both sides so you could put the one(supplied) handle on either side.

 

[countryroad82]

I say Walt. Yeah that box looks like a Walt to me.

 

[Ruffgeezer]

Here's the serial number;


And I thought I'd pop the badge off and see what it looked like behind. Either SO and Waterloo badges have the exact same pin layout or someone had a VERY steady hand.



The snap on badge is a metal one too, which certainly surprised me.

 

[bobcatdan]

Not an SO serial number decal. It will either be stamped on about pre '93 or be a decal. The decal will list the model, SO name and about 20 patients.

Maybe an older Sealey "American pro" box which were US made? don't recall ever seeing one in that width however.

 

[Ruffgeezer]

No, it's definitely better build than the "American Pro" range, I had one of those when I first started.

 

[zkling]

Take a picture of the drawer slides.

 

[john ray]

new guy here. looks identical to my westward box. I am really enjoying the forums on this site.

 

[ClineWrench]

Well....you asked us to name it. I saw someone else called it Walt, but it looks more like a Fred to me. Maybe a Freddy.

 

[Ruffgeezer]

Well Walt or Freddy departed this garage today, along side a tatty Snap On top box, £5 profit across the pair, plus I got to keep a Mac side cab & prybar rack. Nice.
