Snap-On plastic

[TheCraneGuy]

I recently purchased a Snap-On toolbox for work, KR 558B with a KR 533A on top. I have added a picture of my prize.
Ironically, the previous owner was located about an hour and a half from the Snap-On Algona plant, but I don’t think this set was made there. The stamped nameplate did say 72.


But I digress...

If you look closely at the top box, to the left and right, on top edge, there are socket rails screwed to it. On them are mounted several of these.




I have never seen one before, there are no numbers on them, just what you see, the older logo.

I have been searching the internet at images of what I think it is, but haven’t seen anything remotely close.

Any help is appreciated.

Nice looking boxes.

Those are to hold screwdrivers.

Yep, Snap On screwdriver holders.

They were certainly around till the early 90’s, maybe late 80’s.

I can remember my first Snap On rep had a row of them in his truck with the old square ‘tenite’ handled drivers in them.

Thank you. I run a maintenance department and I talked my boss into getting me a “new” box for the shop and let production have the old one.

you picked a nice combo. during the time of it's production run the KR series was King. all these years later it's easy to see why.
