Stickers on toolboxes- yes or no

[Fishy66]

Depends on the box. The Craftsman got all the stickers. The Kennedys I like bare.

I did the same thing. I like the look but not the permanence.

Where did you guys get the magnets to do this? I like the idea of having them removeable for cleaning or sale later on

 

[PhantomEB]

I'm clearly a fan...

To each their own.

I think I will be ordering sticker packs and just covering my welder box like your drawers!

I have some on the inside lid of my Cman 26" box. They have been there probably 20-25 years. My other box, nope, none.

Stickers now go on the garage fridge or side of the wood rack.

 

[jeffmoss26]

I have stickers everywhere

 

[marineman]

I don't have any but I don't have anything against it. None of my boxes are investments that I plan on making money off of so resale value really isn't a concern.

 

[AreYaSerious]

On cheaper boxes yes, higher dollar boxes no. For me.

However, people can do what they want with their stuff.

One sticker on my garage fridge.....

 

[TheoShooter]

Nope. I like a clean box.

Love that orange snapon!

One of my fav colors & really easy to see the stickers had some thought & care behind the placement...

Like everything is square & not just slapped on randomly. Super rad.

Fwiw not just boxes but guitar cases, ammo boxes, studio production gear... All covered in stickers.

I have ink & piercings too. So, yeah...

Surprised at all the guys who say no stickers & are concerned about looking pro...

Historically most of the shops I've taken vehicles to? Boxes are the last thing I see, if I see em at all.

Could care less if you have a zillion stickers I wanna see a clean organized shop when I walk in or look at the bays. If the shop has boxes piled to the ceiling or boxes of parts stacked all over like a tower of pizza I'm out.

Your money spent and you want stickers I am fine with it. In my younger days yes I had stickers now I don't have them on my boxes. But it still the person who bought it and I don't care.

 

[KillNThrill24]

Do you even buy stuff if you don't put stickers on other stuff lol? I don't have any on my box, but I got a nice stainless steel fridge for my shop from a buddy, and I've started putting stickers on it. I had some on my old lift too, as well as on dad's boxes. I'll add some to mine when I upgrade to a good box.

How about getting some magnetic material (I find it at Menards in the HVAC area used to cover vents) and stick your stickers to that. That way you can move it around or take it off without an issue.

 

[rharman]

I will say that I had stickers on an old beater hand box I used to take to the track when I was racing motorcycles. My favorite was from Gary Bang HD parts - "Put something exciting between your legs".

Still have the box. It's kind of a museum piece of stickers - Sifton Cams, Webco, White Bro's...

 

[GCS]

Ah.....
Yeah!

 

[Tonyuk]

I'll put them on if i get them for free, i'm not going out to buy them for the sake of it.

The last was a koken sticker, i also have some old vehicle badges stuck on.

 

[trekgod3]

Magnets. Best of both worlds

 

[Flybye]

Do toolbox stickers have the same effect as they do on Hondas giving it an extra 100hp?

 

[bdbecker]

I love stickers, but I don't put them on my toolbox. The only time I judge someone for having stickers on their box is when its obviously the 10 piece variety pack with all the cliche shop sayings. Don't be that guy.

One of these days, I'm going to get some metal panels cut up and put all the stickers I've collected over the years onto them and display them like wall art. I figure that would be a nice compromise.

 

[Rewind97]

I like the idea of putting the stickers on a magnet then on the box.

 

[trekgod3]

I like the idea of putting the stickers on a magnet then on the box.

Good idea! Get a magnetic sheet from a craft store and stick your stickers to it. DIY magnets

 

[kTHREE]

I sticker all the toolboxes!!!
When the wife/neighbor/tool getter asks where something is:
Black toolbox, JEGS drawer.
Blue toolbox, ARP drawer

 

[ARFLY]

No stickers for mine.

 

[MuhThugga]

Absolutely. Stickers belong on tool boxes.

Half the time, I use the stickers to identify drawers when people ask me where something is. "Check the Wilwood drawer."

 

[Cameronl]

I'm in the "under the lid only" camp. (and on the steel wall cabinet)

[Hytekrednek]

NOPE! Not unless they pay me to advertise for them

 

[Dan in Pasadena]

No, not one.

 

[garandman]

Put stickers on the toolbox we take to track days. Have a bunch more, haven’t gotten around to it.

 

[MikeF2316]

No. Although I might be tempted to put one sticker or emblem over a flaw or damage that was bothering me.

 

[shocker998md]

I sticker all my boxes but only with stickers from parts I have used on a build and am happy with.

 

[ZRX61]

I put them on my 60gal compressor tank

 

[michelin]

I like seeing them on other people’s property but would never put them on my stuff. I give them away with one condition- the new owner slaps them on something right away.

 

[Fialaja]

Nope. I like a clean box.

Are we still talking about toolboxes?lol

 

[MWEric]

Work box, hell yeah. Home box.......a couple

 

[brownbagg]

i like stickers on my box

 

[f121]

Yes, but only race plates I've pulled off the car after an event.

 

[MarvinBerry]

Do toolbox stickers have the same effect as they do on Hondas giving it an extra 100hp?

2hp per sticker max.

 

[WagonHo!]

Bench yeah, but don’t object to seeing vintage stickers on a cool old chest either.

 

[Slinger646]

If you’re into the retro thing check out Jim’s Engine Decals on fleabay.

 

[yjWrangler]

I'll occasionally slap small ones on this small old semi-mobile box I have
