Snap On Wagon Box $$?

[mopar66]

What does everyone think about the value of this box. It is beat up and I know having acess to 3 sides makes them less desirable to people. I can probably get it for $250-$300.

I would jump on it for that price. I have seen them advertised for $800.

If you were'nt in RI, I'd pay you 250 to buy it for me to sell me for 250

I have also seen them for $800. I am sure it does not have ball bearing slides and looks beat up worse than some of the $800 ones I have seen.

I like the patina

I would jump on that any day of the week for that price and condition. Buy it clean it up and repaint it and it would be good as new.

That box is often referred to as a taco wagon, I believe the Snap On model number was KR562. If you do a search on either term you may find more pricing information, but $250 sounds like a pretty good price to me.

I'd buy it and use it as a rolling work bench. When they first came out I wanted one soooo bad but wouldn't spring for the cash.

Always wanted one, never had the chance to get one.

There is one listed in Modesto, CA Craigslist right now for $1600
It is in a lot better condition than the one pictured in this thread.

I had one for a while. Paid $400' pressure washed it and relubed all the slides. It also helps to remove the slides and flip them upside down and side to side so they wear on a new part of the metal.
Had it for a while and was going to put my lathe on it but went a different direction. Sold it for $650

As long as it's not broken or dented to hell I would get it at $250

I have been using that exact box since the mid 70's
and it sits in my shop today full of tools

What are the advantages of that style box? Just curious.

No real advantage to the design. These were the biggest baddest box in the late 70's when they came out. They were made for airplane tech and built to withstanding rolling around hangers all day. Look at how thick the lower frame is on the one pictured above. People like them based on the respecting the fact they areone ofthe best built box ever.
