Score! Snap-On KR661/KR691

[bluebolt]

Just scored a Snap-On KR661 bottom roll-around and KR691 top chest for $100 for both! Of course it does have issues at that price, it fell over destroying several drawers. Cleaning it up now while the sun's out, pics later!

Nice! sounds like a little elbow grease and you will have a nice return on your investment

 

[fordbroncodave]

wow good price!

 

[mrholeshot]

I really want to see these. For 100 dollars whats a few drawers.

 

[dumper]

don't clean it...we want to see the "before" pictures.

 

[Davefr]

Post images or it didn't happen

 

[GDA]

Pics? We need to see pics now!

 

[bluebolt]

After a quick clean up I went and drank beer with friends LOL. Here's a few before pics.

 

[9deucegt]

Nice score.



Now.................how about some pics of the Capri???

 

[lalaland]

Right, whats the plan then?

 

[mrholeshot]

I would done 100 dollars on that in a second. I'd turn it into the Snap-On wooden drawer special edition.

 

[Creditor]

Looks like some of those drawers are salvagalble

 

[bchee]

That has potential. Wow

 

[fordbroncodave]

worth every penny. i would have paid $200

 

[Davefr]

Looks like some of those drawers are salvagalble

A good bodyman or tinsmith can make those drawers look like new.

 

[lalaland]

Check with snap on im sure you can still get drawers.

 

[jarren]

dont look like a kr660 mite be a kr1000 u ****

 

[bluebolt]

Jarren, on the back it says KR661 on the bottom and KR691 on the top. Maybe Snap-on is lying LOL.
LaLaLand drawers are available, $200-300 each! Slides are $67.
I have enough good drawers to fill the bottom part, will probably just leave them out of the top right section and use it as a hutch.

 

[MattT]

Slides are $67.

If you call Snap-on they might warranty the slides. Just say they're worn instead of mangled

And like someone else said the drawers can probably be straightened.

 

[Vinko]

SO slides have got to be cheaper than $67. Or are those bearing slides? I wonder if SO still have drawers for those? They still have stock of some drawers for older cabinets.

Anyway, great box

 

[chewy7]

a tool box is useless without good working drawers

 

[GDA]

With the right approach and patience that is going to be a great toolbox. I'd work every angle to try to get SO to warranty the sliders.

Nice find.

 

[fordbroncodave]

how did it fall over? too many drawers open at once or did someone not tighten it down on a trailer?

 

[bluebolt]

My understanding is the box had too many drawers open at once.
I would never ask Snap-On to warrantee those slides. Not my style.
Going to go back to work on it for a while, was out garage saling this morning LOL

 

[bluebolt]

I have done what I can with the box. The bottom is good, the top is not worth fixing. Those slides just cost too much money and I had to use all the good top slides for the bottom. I still could use one or two more sets, some of the drawers are a little stiff. Will sell the top box on Craigslist, see if I can get $100 for it lol. Here's some after pics.

 

[Chris_PT]

Nice box.
Where are you from?

 

[SO/PW newbie]

Nice score.



Now.................how about some pics of the Capri???

Thats what I was thinking..

 

[bluebolt]

Don't you recognise the "bluebolt" handle CorvetteChris LOL.

Or maybe if I posted a pic of my Sonic Blue 2003 Ford Lightning.

You going to Thunderroad raceway this season?

It took me a minute, but I got it now. I saw the craigslist post and thought, "I've seen that picture before". haha

I actually thought I came across a decent deal, but just a little late. Not that I needed it anyway.

I definitely want to make it out there a couple times this year

 

[fordbroncodave]

i'd leave the top on the box, just put a computer monitor in it, a keyboard, and a vertical computer tower

 

[bluebolt]

Just sold the top box for 50 bucks! Guy had the exact same box but a bit rusty from sitting outside, he got what he needed to repair it and I am now only $50 bucks into this box!

 

[mrholeshot]

That was a hell of a score! I would have put a 25 inch flat screen TV in the top box

 

[Pug}{maN]

thats cool man ! good to see some one get a good deal...

 

[bluebolt]

The guys who bought the top box just stopped by and GAVE me a set of locks and key for the bottom box since I didn't have a key. It's good to know there are still nice people in the world!
