I'm also a huge fan of the KR1000, although I don't have one. I would love to find one.
I also wondered why SO put dividers in some drawers and not others.
It has repeatedly been said the KR1000 is built really well and heavy - even compared to the KRL series. (As evidenced by Chad, a dealer who has seen them all)
For catalog pics, thanks to stevejh82 for posting them up in an old thread I posted. This will get you guys the sidebox information. Note this shows the KR1200 top box which is the full depth version of the KR1100.
Anyone have the KR1001 or KR1003 (note no 'L')

i am fairly certain the L in KRL stands for the lock n roll system they put in the KRL boxes. the KR series had a detent when you close the drawer
Correct, the KR1001 and KR1003 picked up reconfigurable drawers but they didn't have lock 'n' roll yet.
I've never seen either of these models so I don't know if they were built as heavy as the KR1000 or if they are simply built exactly like a KRL without Lock 'n' Roll (I expect the latter is true)

Also did you see the "secret Stash" drawer under the mat ?

^^^ that is amazing! the mat on top is definitely very cool and I did not know that
1. The handle is indeed removable.
2. There's a bracket at the very back of the box in the middle at the bottom that needs a couple of sheet metal screws for the lock mechanism. They back out over the years.
3. Drawer detents are still readily available from Snap-on.

i did that intentionally because it cannot be locked
I have a KR1000AE for sale right now. I can post a picture of the top for you on Monday afternoon.
Here are some pics: http://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/tls/3555802838.html
You can see the size of the eagle in pic #4.

Wow, that brings back memories! The guy who taught me how to do bodywork had one of those. I don't think I've seen one since he traded it for an Intimidator and that was several years ago.

Those KR1000 70th Anny boxes are bad *** to the max. They very well could be my favorite Snappy boxes of all time.
I had a 1990 -70th Ann. catalog and no pics or mention of it.Probably there was a flyer back then but I have never seen one.I would like to see the promo ads also.This pic is from a currently listed box on ebay 9/4/13 ( not mine )

Very Nice! Start post your limited edition tools boxes thread.
I got KRA from the 80's and I am in love with it! I have a liking for words America and Eagle! I just wish the made the boxes deeper. I can't sell it and will not just keep adding top boxes. I am 5'6 so I have stool to access the top draws of my boxes!

If somebody wants one of these boxes there is one on Craigslist with the side box for $3200.00 asking price. Located in Orangevale area near Sacramento. It looks pretty nice in the pictures. Just thought I would throw it out there.
