So You Guys With a KRL7022

[countryroad82]

How do you like 'em? My dealer just offered me a pretty good deal on one. I'm about to pull the trigger so is there anything you would go about differently? By trade I do bodywork, I own my shop so I don't have to worry about toting my stuff from one place to another most all my bigger stuff stays in cabinets so I don't have to worry about air tool/ cordless/ corded tool storage. I have been wanting a bigger box for sometime but want some insight from current/ past owners. Currently I have the majority of my hand tools in my KRSC46 (love that thing!) but I have quite a few of my other specialty stuff in 2 other 26" boxes. Both are not completely full but aren't empty either if you get my drift. If I ran out of room I was thinking on a top cabinet, but I don't see it happening in the near future. Anyway, opinions?

You will love the deep drawers! I have had the same boxes but taller, but if I do it again I will go to the shorter height to work off of. If you don't mind me asking what kind of deal did he give you?

 

[countryroad82]

I can into one for right at 3 grand. On Snap On's website they list at 7. I don't think that sounds too bad and he is pretty good at giving goodies away when you buy a box. When I bought my KRSC46 I had a hat, gloves, and get this 3/8 F80 laying in the bottom drawer! I called thinking the ratchet was a mistake and he just laughed.

Some of us are too short for them things man. A buddy in another shop has one, it's chest high on me, and I'm 5'9". Between height and space between my toolbox spot and the lift, I'd be standing to one side to half open the top drawer. Plus, he might not be able to get as good of a deal!

 

[countryroad82]

Well I think I'm going to pull the trigger on it, I have a decent downpayment to plop in his lap (like $2500) and get something I have wanted since I first started working on junk. I'm thinking blue for this one lol.

 

[lugnut71]

Are you getting the royal blue or midnight?

 

[countryroad82]

Royal Blue. Not crazy about the midnight, I wish they still offered that pastel blue or whatever you call it that they had back in the 90s for the Bel Air edition boxes, that was a sweet color. I was limited on my color choices of black, flat black, orange, red, and blue I like the blue, kinda wish I could have done cranberry or green mica, but I'm digging the blue lol!

Awesome! post some pics when you get it

I'm 5' 7" and find it the perfect height.

That's a really good deal!!

I have the Candy Apple Red model and love it. I purchased two side cabs for it. One has all drawers and the other adjustable shelves. I'm also a collision repair guy and have found it well suited for that use.
