Snap on epiq fell

[JKady]

I guess I can't decide what's worth the English and writing or that someone actually paid 16 grand for a epiq box. I thought everyone knows not to pay full price for
Boxes.

Somebody's gotta pay full price or close to start with, how else would we get them for half price or less? Repos are the best deal on the snap on truck some days.

BUT, I doubt he took money from the pockets of any of you guys to buy it, if he wants to spend his cash on status (and IMO, having looked at an epiq up close, it's all for status) it doesn't hurt any of the rest of us.

This one is a prime candidate for the inevitable repo.

I was hoping this was the tale of a toolbox tip over with pics.

Although I have no pics, I do have one that fell. In 1996, while working as a Snap-on Tech Rep, I saw a KRL761 slide off a trailer in front of me. We were driving to a tool show, and it was on a pallet and boxed up. It departed the trailer at highway speeds and ended up in the median. By the time we got it back up to the pavement, it was pretty dented up. I bought it for scrap, pried the top off it to get the locks open, then pounded it back down. I replaced one drawer and the side trim. If you take the tools out of it it won't sit on 4 wheels, but it rolls fine when loaded. It has 2 good sides, the front and left side, so I leave them exposed and keep everything else against the wall, and the top covered. After a bunch of pounding on the back of the box I even got the locks working again.

Lmao thats a big assumption

That cost the same as a Honda Civic. Is the Epic as complex and sophisticated as the Civic? 16k for a bunch of sheetmetal. Snap On has good marketing department.

A used one maybe. You can no longer buy a Civic for 16K. Those days are long gone. I do remember buying a Civic hatchback new in 2000 for 12K brand new. Those were the days huh?

Too bad July 4th is no longer "Buy Craftsman Day", eh?

I always thought it was independence day??

I did basically the same on a crafty chest that fell off the loading dock.

Some pipe clamps, a couple hours of using body hammers and dollys and I had a working tool chest.

Du you be disappointment to ?

nevermind some of the others, I was able to understand what you meant after a second read. when you pay for the best it's only fair to expect the best. Let us know if you talk to Snap-On and what they say.

Ok assuming the box didn't fall, what does he mean by "locking mechanism star"?
