new snap on krl need opinions

[757tech]

I'm buying a new snap on krl1023 and i can't decide what color. its between black, yellow, or extreme green. weigh in tell me what ya think.

if you're thinking about resale value or adding a locker or a top piece the best color to go with would be regular red. With red its easier to buy and sell used stuff because its the regular "go to" color for most guys. If you're dead seat against red I do like the extreme green... the color really pops!

yellow looks good on a box. Black is very common. Bright green, i dont get. Looks horrible, like a nightmare, yet tons of people love it. Personally i think that color ruins everything it touches. Its like taking a classic car and painting obnoxious flames on it.

Ultimately you need to be the one to decide though since you're going to be the one looking at it every day.

If you got the skills and your work can speak for itself, get the extreme green, just my .02 though

Get Snap-on red for resale value.

Saw a purple one on a snappy truck today looked great!

 

[dieselmike]

dont get yellow

 

[blacK20]

I agree don't get yellow. Yellow is hard to sell if you decide to down the road. Gloss black is nice but shows grease/fingerprints/scratches very easily.

well the color i got isn't on your short list.... arctic silver...

so narrow your three colors down to two... flip a coin... if after you flip a coin and want to do the best two out of three... then you know you really want the color that lost on the first flip... if you don't do best two out of three...then you really want the color that won the toss!

I love my yellow box. I hate red boxes, but that just my opinion. Snap-On has sold a lot of them, so what do I know.

 

[Squints]

I like Blue.......

 

[chadster1]

Yellow is on backorder

 

[Rig Rocket]

i love my arctic sliver, it a great color

 

[richfinn]

I like Orange or Yellow

 

[bassbone52]

I have a yellow Macsimizer. Got it used for a good price so i didn't have a choice on color but I really like it.

 

[canuckian]

I vote for orange because, well, my box is orange and it's also my favorite color. Also like the extreme green, arctic silver and the darker gray color.

candy apple red

An obnoxious colored one will be easier to describe/recover in case someone rips it off

 

[lukiep]

I would say get extreme green, looks awesome in the flesh

 

[Stick Figure]

I like Blue.......

I like my blue 722 a lot, but I think white will be my next purchase.

For those saying go red for re-sale, I don't buy into it. I hate red boxes. Maybe its because my first recycled soda can of a Craftsman box was red, or maybe its the wall-o-harbor boxes that I've been too lazy to repaint, but I just would never consider a red box again. At least not on a new box where I had a choice. On a used box it would have to be an amazing deal for me to settle for red.

 

[wornoutoldman]

My vote is for the traditional Snap on red. Never goes out of style and likely the easiest to resale if you ever have to. Although screaming yellow would be pretty badass!

 

[plewlandsbob]

Extreme green!

 

[Welderguy24]

I vote Green as well!

 

[Camtwo69]

I will take any color you want to GIVE me !

 

[dodge610]

Another vote for extreme green I would own one if my purple matco box was not allready paid for and still in perfect shape.

 

[garfunkle24]

Classic red with white decals for this guy:

Out of your choices, I like the extreme green. The black shows dirt and is high maintenance and the yellow has poor resale and there are no tools to color match to the box.

 

[metalhead212121]

For those saying go red for re-sale, I don't buy into it.

I look at it this way.... if you buy a KRL triple bank tool box and later on you want to add a top piece the odds of getting a top piece to match will be a lot easier if its red vs. any other color. Over the last couple years I bought a KRL tool box at a swap meet.. then I bought a bottom piece to match it... then I bought a hutch... then locker... still thinking about a second locker..

Before any of you guys say "need pics..."

When Im old and gray and wanna sell my **** Im not gonna have somebody cry that the colors dont match.... Wont matter though.. they'll (buy) will find something to beat me up on the price.

 

[Justin1776]

I actually like the green mica (hunter green). Looks good in person

 

[countryroad82]

I gotta thing for purple.

 

[Mr Ratchet]

Of the three colors, I would go with the black. Should always be in style. The bright colors are more of a fad much like they were in the late 80's.
