There's a Youtuber who mainly does machining (Blondihacks) and has one of those pink toolboxes. Almost all her Youtube content is machining projects, but she also has insane electronics, fabrication, and mechanical skills.

Anyway... I could totally rock a pink toolbox, but that particular pale shade of not-quite-Pepto-Bismol pink is just plain, well, ew. Something a few shades brighter would be pretty cool.

That's a pretty sweet box. I've always wanted one of those teal boxes, and I would put this right up there in terms of "want" for me.

I’m going to go against the grain here and say that i would rock it in a heartbeat.

My daughter still has the pink snap-on jewelry box (exact same color) from one of her uncles when she was born and routinely asks the question “daddy, why are your toolboxes not fun colors too?”

No question about it, if nothing else but to bring a smile to my face every time I’m in the garage I would buy this in a second.

Not so keen on the pink toolbox, but I’d definitely go for purple...

But I do like the gray/coral tri-five - I’d buy that in a heartbeat!

And I have a Tahoe Turquoise ‘67 Chevelle and love the color!

(I like green cars in general...)

I had a foreman, on a job, with a vintage seafoam bronco… I loved it. I do not think I paid attention to green before seeing his truck. Most cars that I have owned were black, silver, or graphite…

The other green car that captured my attention was the back of the green 71’ Riviera in a sci fi movie called Gattaca. I never paid attention to that car… now I am in love with that body. Specifically the 71’ with the louvred deck lid and the early front bumper. It looks like a factory made Batmobile.

I've bought my wife a set of pink handled needle nose and mini screw driver's from the snapon guy for her tool collection. She likes them though agrees their pink tool boxes are pepto bismal pink and needs to be a brighter pink.

I've got a tool box on order grey with purple trim. I wasn't going to order the color originally though my snapon guy had a grey and purple box on his truck, I "bought it" because it was a good deal and didn't really like the color. Long story short the deal fell apart. While staring at it in his shop for 6 months waiting on a top box for it to come in the color really grew on me. I ordered a different box from him and ordered it in grey and purple as well. It's unique though is actually a pretty popular snapon color combo. I'm unique as well, most people walk into our shop to bring a tool back the "guy with the beard" loaned them. I might get accused of being a hobo if I wasn't on a mine site and I feel the color combo fits my personality well.

My only issue with it is that people have pointed out its pepto bismol pink and I just can't stop seeing it that way now.

But otherwise? If I was spending that kind of money on a toolbox it would be a fun pastel color.

Bought this pink snap on tool in 2013 and never put it in the store. Sat in my garage and held tools waiting to be processed. Well I sold the box that occupied that space and had nothing else to put there. Boxes on display do double duty as store fixtures and are full of tools for sale so I always have to have one to replace any we sell.

Yes its an oddball and most wouldn't buy it but there will be someone, most likely a woman, who has to have it so it will sell at some point

Can't wait to here customer comments😁

This makes me think of a Hutch Trickstar in hot pink.

Bonus wooden nickel for anyone that knows just W and TF I'm talking about.
