Snap On KR1000 Detents, stops.

[Black94ta]

I'm looking for some help fellas. I purchased what I believe is an early KR1000. I took out all the drawers and sliders. Took a good long time with all the sliders and a parts washer to get all the old grease out. I found what I believe was a pile of the disintegrated bump stops and detents. I emailed Accuride and they gave me these part numbers and asked how many I need of each. The box is in constant use so it is already back together for use until I get the proper replacement parts. Does anyone know what model the sliders are or have a diagram of them?! I am thinking there are 4-5 rubber/plastic components per slider. I'm not sure what each slider needs and where it's located. And I know I'm probably fishing, but what's the chances of someone having a Breakdown Diagram of a KR1000?! Thanks in advance, Jason Smith

Nice post! I am glad Accuride is still supplying bumpers. I called them last Wednesday but was unable to get a call back. So needing to get my tool chest re-assembled, I purchased a bag of them off of Amazon. $9.90 with shipping for 25 of them (they included 5 extra).

I also had to buy a new pair of slides for the tool chest. As not the original owner, I did not qualify for free replacement. Pretty expensive (~$150 with $20 shipping and $5 handling). The replacement slides are not even marked as being Accuride.

The new bumpers supplied by Snap-on are shown on the left, the ones I purchased from Amazon on the right. While the rubber stiffness feels the same, the Amazon detents (Accuride clones) had twice the detention retention force as the new styles Snap-on detents.

Accuride sent me a bag of those bumpers. I can't figure out where they're supposed to go.

There's a couple relevant posts on this forum with regard to Accuride drawer hardware, with descriptions of the parts needed.

What do I use to clean dried grease from my toolbox drawer slides

I have a Snap-on KR1000 from the early 90's. The drawer slides are gunked up with dried grease or some other lubricant that solidified. It's pretty bad, especially after the drawer is halfway out and the second set of ball bearings starts to move. I've read some folks use Brake Cleaner and...

Older NAPA tool box

My dad and my uncle both have older ( 25+ years old ) NAPA tool boxes. My dad recently sold me one that has NEVER been used. I was wondering if anyone here could tell me anything about it? I would like to get a new key for it, so I can lock it.. It got lost in the shuffle of dad building a new...

Note that there's a fair chance that Snappy will warranty the drawer slides. You could ask. HOWEVER, I think the "new replacements" are not made by Accuride; so maybe you want to cogitate on whether you want to rejuvenate your genuine Accuride items, or get new-but-generic slides from Snappy.
