Snap on toolbox!

[MidWest_Dom]

Okay everyone... I am buying a new snap on classic 78 roll cab. I have the student discount so my cost is 2,099... Retail is 4700 I think. Anyway I am totally stuck on what color to get since I'm sure this will be the last box I will buy. Color suggestions please!

 

[wornoutoldman]

Red is Classic. Black is the new Red. Screaming Yellow is Cool. Green is Environmental. Purple is Barney's Favorite Color. White reminds me of a refridgerator. Hope this helped.

 

[SSCR]

Red will look cool always.

I searched for it~ is this it? if so, I'm partial to yellow, but it would probably show grease and dust unless you're meticulously clean! I have the red HF roller, it has kind of a rough finish which is difficult to clean, but red smooth surface you can't go wrong!

Red has become too tired/boring. Black will show every blemish and fingerprint. Yellow, Green, Purple and Orange will get old fast and could limit future resale.

The obvious answer is Royal Blue.

 

[pacmktg]

I would buy the Orange if I was getting one.

 

[MidWest_Dom]

They also have a flat flack option!

 

[Groovy]

I like blue if I can't have that red although i wouldn't mind a hybrid red blue not purple but the same color you get when you choke a smurf

 

[MidWest_Dom]

It just seems like everyone has red

 

[ThatsWhatSheSaid]

Id go for the blue or green

 

[Alaric.H]

Orange or yellow to bad chrome is not a option.

 

[KW29]

Black, and get the " bling kit "

 

[GeorgiaHybrid]

I like green, it reminds me of money.....What the box costs and what my wife and kids can spend faster than I can make.

 

[LawnDart79]

In my opinion, red will probably have the highest resale value...plus, I like red. I have a 5-6 year old KRL series box in red and I love it...well except for the rust at the bottom edge and seam. One would think a box that expensive wouldn't rust so easy.

candy apple red

 

[brownbagg]

red is a fail safe color, it good anywhere, once you get into the other colors then the shop has to match. some mechanic shops you can have any color as long as its red.

you get the black ernhart box with the bling that be the first box the crooks hit.

but the trucks tv show with all the yellow boxes look sweet. I saw a green one that I like

 

[sevnd3z28]

since I'm sure this will be the last box I will buy.

If you hang around here for any length of time you'll be eating those words sooner rather than later!
Personally I think Snap-on red never goes out of style!

 

[Rusty32]

+2 on candy apple red I got a 84" epic in that color because the other ones I thought would grow old , I like it more every day

 

[a-fordable]

I am an old senior citizen, so I am partial to old time RED!

 

[NUTTSGT]

They also have a flat flack option!

Got a picture of this flat flack option ?

 

[MidWest_Dom]

Got a picture of this flat flack option ?

look on the snap on site or just google snap on flat black... im not sure how to post pictures...

 

[NUTTSGT]

no no not the flat black, I want a pic of the flat flack.

 

[padronanniversary]

White. Go for clean and class

 

[BerninicaCO3]

I'm actually partial to the purple, but everyone else hate it... then I'll stay away because resale does matter, and, because it means I can maybe get a 2nd hand purple for even less than my student discount

I might go with blue! Looks sweet, neither as ...regular as red, nor as loud as the green and orange, nor pretentious like the black.

Red................

 

[Farma11]

Red......it looks like a working man's toolbox.

 

[Vinko]

red is a fail safe color, it good anywhere, once you get into the other colors then the shop has to match. some mechanic shops you can have any color as long as its red.

There are shops that dictate what color box you can have?

Probably does look a lot more shop having all the boxes in the shop the same color.

I've got black. I really like the blue. (I thought the Classic 78 only came in 4 colors?) Don't know if it's the same shade as the KRL's, but those KRL blues are sharp.

 

[stellar91]

I am partial to black, but as stated Red is traditional. I have a Plum Crazy Matco box that I wouldn't get rid off though . decisions,decisions

 

[35mastr]

I like the Orange. Had Black,Red,Yellow. Also it wont be the last box you buy. You will out grow alot faster than you think.

 

[g0ldfing3r]

Black, like the saying, once you go Black, you'll never go back!

 

[shotgunfatcat]

Always a fan of the yellow, but have to keep it clean!

 

[alex211]

Get a blue one.

 

[Aberdale]

Red is the classic color and will always look new. All the other colors are trendy and will date themselves in a few years. Unless you have a favorite color that you can't live without, go red.

I have red, its traditional. Just like fire engines. Usually don't see purple or green fire engines.

 

[blown94conv]

I have the yellow, love it. Tough to keep clean, but looks awesome.

 

[rwhite692]

Black...

 

[santagary]

I've got black and wish I had red...black boxes, cars, trucks are the hardest to keep clean and dusted...blue (Ford blue) would be my second choice.

 

[MidWest_Dom]

I'm leaning on orange!

 

[MidWest_Dom]

Post some pictures of your boxes everyone.... If you don't mind I'd like to see how they are looking

I have red, its traditional. Just like fire engines. Usually don't see purple or green fire engines.
