I just bought a HF 5-drawer cart. Where can I get a name brand emblem to stick under the lid (not a U.S. General one)?

 

[Moose-LandTran]

What brand?

 

[aussiek2000]

Pretty much anything other than US general. Mac, snapon, matco, blue point, SK, etc.

 

[rsanter]

go to a place that they make the vynal decals
tell them what you want and the size you want

Also I just searched ebay for "snap on emblem" and a plethora of lots came up.

I've never understood this. You can put any badge you want on it....it's still a US General so what is the point?!

Agree X1000

We know it's HF
You know it's HF
Only those with no appreciation or knowledge will be fooled and they won't care. It's like putting a Rolls Royce hood ornament on a Pinto.
Seems really silly. Just take the US General emblem off and make it a generic item.

I didn't ask for your opinion. So I don't want to spend $2000 on a snap on cart. This $200 cart will serve me well while I am in school, and wrenching on cars part time. If I want to but a logo on my cart, what is it to you? It's my money and my cart.

OK,
If you don't mind people pointing and snickering and laughing behind your back..........You are so right that this is a great cart. I just put mine together and don't know why anyone of sane mind would pay SO prices for the same functionality. If I was wrenching I would proudly use it and look down on the fools with their shiny expensive carts.

 

[Chadro]

I wrench professionally and I don't even know if I would be able to tell the difference, honestly. I don't study the damn Snap-On catalog. Your cart, do what you want I say.

Just my opinion, but you hit the nail right on the head here.

I understand that you have the ability to do what you want. Snapon emblems are readily available on ebay.
My question is why do you want to do it, what are you trying to accomplish?

 

[greasemonkey44]

ebay
got a bunch of craftsman labels for my big box to trick a friend
mostly i peel off the us general stickers since they dont hold on well, they look best blank tho

 

[Trucky]

Who cares what he throws on his box? All I know is that while you're busy poking fun at him, he's busy hauling around a heavier wallet with all the money he saved. Go ahead, point out the higher quality. They're boxes. They hold things. It's *nice* to have the more expensive box, but do you NEED it?

Those who know what the box is, shouldn't care. Those that don't should not be lulled into believing it's something else either.

I have a Gerstner box. I know what expensive is. But really, who cares!? I should throw some HF stickers on the outside.

Just to be the antithesis of your little experiment, I have a HF 5 dwr service that I bought new many years ago. While on the shop floor a collegue thought it be "cute" to debadge the cart. With the two empty badge holes bothering me more that the badge itself, I threw a Mac Tools vinyl logo over the holes, and if I could find a free or cheap US General badge, I;d happily replace it back to original.

That said, if your cart has the 3-d USG badge, I;d be happy to take it off your hands for my cart and I'll pay for postage. If it's vinyl or a decal, I'm out of luck.

Your money, your cart.
And FWIW, Snap On sells those big SO banners for the underside lid of the service carts on their website.

While your doing that I'll throw a timex emblem on my breitling.

who? The people here? I work with 2 other guys, and they could care less.

Thank you

don't you know by now that on here for every one question you get ten opinions.just get one off ebay,then i guess you can impress everyone with your shiny new cart.no matter the brand as long as they think its expensive thats the goal eh,,,champagne taste but wanna spend beer money,I'm down with that.maybe everybody will think your a good wrench too with the nice cart and all

You may not have asked, but when you start a thread on an internet forum, you're going to get opinions. It's the nature of the beast. Don't be so sensitive.

Not being sensitive, just making a statement.

Shame. Lessening the shame. That is the point.

 

[Givl Reggin]

I routinely replace the original manufacture's nameplates;

1) My Yugo has a Corvette emblem on it.
2) My Sears refrigeration says Sub-Zero.
3) My 40-year old GE stove says Wolf.
3) My KGM TV says SONY on the front.

Hell, even the computer I'm using now use to have a Xhing logo now says IBM!

I do all this to impress people I don't give two chits about.

I dare you

 

[Trucky]

I dare you

I probably won't. Maybe if it was metal, but the wood is just too nice to do that to.

Plus, I'd probably get hit with a lightning bolt or something of that measure...

hmm... locust swarm?

 

[dwm]

I'd spend the money on something I'd use rather than a badge.

 

[scouting]

I agree, just pull the US General logo off and it's a damn nice cart, without having to sell organs to buy a tool truck cart. If you want the SO logo, that's fine, but honestly I'd just leave it plain and spend the money on filling the box up.

Oh, and to the guy w/ the gerstner box, if you do rebadge it, you should definitely put up some pics. I need a good laugh, and that would be hilarious

 

[BQuicksilver]

Like some others have said...why? You don't seem to answer that.

Whether you'll admit it or not you're trying to impress someone by rebadging. Odds are anyone who would be impressed by a SO box would probably know that yours is fake. Conversely most people who would be fooled would likely not care what brand your box was anyway. You'd get more respect toting a box full of HF tools and laughing at the SO guys as you finish jobs quicker than them after they spent 10x the cash of their tools.

I have a pharm rep that comes by with a 5 series BMW rebadged as an M5. The guy wonders why I can't take him seriously.

Just picked up a nice Rollex watch :

H F stickers maybe you need a visit from Termites From the CEO of Grestner Wood tool box compamy.

funny *** **** right there​

 

[Honda guy]

Emblems should be available from the tool truck of your choice. Like others have said, I'd check e-bay first.

 

[mecpman]

Yeah like other have said you can get them from the tool truck. I got a huge Matco logo for my box but my box is a Matco to start with. I bet some tool truck guys would be offended if you told them what you would be buying it for.

 

[Blacknwhitepit]

LOL... Put a MAC logo on it.... That is the most believable one.

Seriously though.... You can buy a Snap on stick on Badge from your Snap on Dealer. My dealer had to order them. The part number did not work on the Snap on Website... They cost around $10.00... A lot cheaper than you can buy them for on Ebay

[Stevedore]

I have the US General 41" roller cab & top box, and the first thing I did was heatgun off the HUUUGE US General sticker inside the lid of the top box. Then one of the US General plastic logo pieces fell off the top box when I was putting tools in it. And I will probably remove the plastic logo piece from the bottom box soon. But I won't be putting on stickers from other box manufacturers; I'd like to find stickers from car-related companies (manufacturers, oil companies, tool companies, etc.) or computer-related companies, since I'm an IT consultant.

I'm thinking a big sticker of a **** (female!) might be good inside the lid of the top box. Mrs. Stevedore may not agree, but unless she's offering up a photo of herself, she doesn't get a vote.

 

[BajaBound]

What's wrong with the UsGeneral logo? Be stoked about it because they make above average stuff for the money and there are WAY worse quality carts and tool boxes out there like craftsman, kobalt etc.

 

[Bran Diezel]

i put a snap on plastic emblem on mine. i think it complements my massive so box lol. now i did not buy the SO logo. it was in a mac tool box that i bought used a couple years ago... someone prob had the same reservations before.

 

[Gregg33]

I'm looking to buy a 5 drawer SO cart, anyone know where I can find one for cheap?

 

[canuckian]

I just don't see the point of it but hey, whatever blows your hair back!

what really gives me a laugh is when people put, for instance, Z28 stickers on an RS Camaro or RUBICON stickers on a Sahara or "X" Jeep. Funniest one I've seen are ZR2 off-road stickers on a 2wd S-10. Who are they trying to convince? themselves?

 

[therealwormey]

but its ok when you do it for kicks like when pop put a lincoln hood ornament on his golf cart
