Snap On resto

[USMCdodge]

Went to a saturday morning garage sale as I always do. Found a snap on tool cart with a side cabinet (KR274A) and a screwdriver lock box for 25 bucks! Im not sure of the carts model# I can't find it stamped anywhere. Its got a few old snap on stickers on it Im going to try to tape off and save. It has normal rust spots and a few dents here and there.
I just got it disassembled and the stickers taped off. All the locks are done for if anyone knows where i can order new ones that would fit i would!
I apologize if your a VW person.

You ****! That screwdriver/pry bar box alone is worth more than $25.
Good find

 

[Hammer1963]

What a great find.

 

[USMCdodge]

OK so, I have the cabinet door repainted now and today i pressure washed it and found the number for the tool cart under some gunk! It looks like the mech that had it before me custom added the drawer on it. thats why it says MAC tools. but im not sure if the screw driver box is snap on or MAC. Pretty sure its mac tho. Pictures soon

Nice setup..............does that side box make the cart tip to one side.

good find

Nice set up! BTW, your flag is hung wrong, the star field should always be in the upper left corner.

 

[USMCdodge]

No the it doesn't throw it off too much. but it will tip of you lean on the cabinet. im thinking of leaving it off. I wish the extra holes to mount it to the side hadn't been drilled. im thinking about refilling them... BigAl are you sure? do you know why it is that way?

I was taught flag regulations in NJROTC (Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps). I was in the color guard and as the tallest in our unit I had the privilege of carrying the American flag.

 

[mlittle29]

It's pretty simple. The union (stars) are always on the left, just as if the flag was hanging normal. Even on a casket the union covers the left shoulder. The only way it might look wrong is if you can see the flag from both sides then the union should always be on the North side if hung North/South.

 

[NJHandyGuy]

yes sever suckage going on here

 

[USMCdodge]

Hey guys! I finished the end cabinet! For the SO emblem i took some light sand paper to it then hit it with some scotch. I also left the old dents in it as this is a functional cab . I am in the process of repainting the cart too but Im switching things up slightly. Check it out!

PS I fixed the flag too.

 

[Slip_Kid]

Nice work.....I see you left the dent on the top, it gives the box some character.

I can never find deals like this the lock should have a number on it to give to the local so guy or customer service

I found some info on mine about the guy who owned it before me. he died and his wife enlisted his neighbor (who knew nothing about tools) to sell off his garage... he told me that he sold a box that had to be taken away on a flatbed for 60 bucks!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Farmer Joe]

Wow, great find. Maybe my day to find such a deal will come soon. For now, I'll keep dreaming and looking at threads like this haha. Good job with fixing it up too, I like the dent on the top too.

 

[USMCdodge]

OK, so i have been at work on the cart. sneaking in to use the sandblaster at work when nobody else was and going in after hours to the paint booth and this is what i have come up with.

this is the prybar box I found out its made by mac tools...

Heres the tool cart. i just have to finish the drawer. i painted the handles black (not a big fan of chrome.) the casters will end up black as well as the drawer pulls and the emblem when i get it... does anybody have an extra one?

Just finished the cart! All I need now is the SO emblem and a new lock.

[njride]

nice job.

 

[njride]

nice job, I like how you left the old stickers on there.

 

[yjWrangler]

Why would you want those still on there

 

[USMCdodge]

They were on it when i got it, probably been there since before i was around. They belong there.
