The box is very cool. I like the polished Snap-On trim.
I would peel off the top box stickers though.

Hard to see with the pictures turned funny, but looks like a place to store tools in the bottom, and is that a dollhouse for your kids in the middle? Couldn't quite tell.

I've got a box like the bottom one, but more drawers, it's been quite handy for storing my mechanic tools.

If you can get the stickers peeled off the boxes, and buff it so the paint matches again, it'll look a lot better. I've always been pleased when I can buy a box that the previous owner put a bunch of stickers on, they're usually easy to get off and the price goes way down with them on. Did you get a good deal on this one that way?

The price of the box is nothing to me. Everyone has there own things they like to spend money on. Thanks for your best thoughts

My observation when the first post of a newbie is a SO question the thread derails pretty quickly.

Being in the SO camp it got pointless sharing SO info you get bashed as an elitist and it grows from there.
At least this op posted again most just pull the pin and watch.

Not sure it's worthless sharing SO info, even if you get bashed the information is useful to those that can make use of it and are willing to learn something. That's my thoughts anyway, I ignore the negative comments that come back when I recommend SO for particular things that I think they excel at.

Not sure what info sharing was intended in the OP, though. Were we supposed to be impressed that the toolbox had a Snap-on logo on it? Or is it some amazing, hard to find, rare, or fabulous model? I guess I'm not enough into the SO culture to be impressed easily or even to know that I should be impressed. Like I said in my reply to the OP, I have one somewhat like it, just different drawer configuration, and it's handy for storing my mechanics tools. Isn't that the object of having a tool box? I guess I like SO for the utility and durability, just not impressed with the cool factor.

OP, Welcome and feel free to share any SO or other information with us that you have. We all learn from this site.

Just seems like a terrible waste of money to me. So many better, and much cheaper options for tool boxes out there.

Looks like someone got caught up in the pee pee measuring contest at work. Good luck with that and the nice pile of debt you must have gotten with it.

Proven by this clueless post why it is a waste of time to share.

Yesterday in response to your post I was in the middle of using boxes as an example but got pulled away so I deleted it. Figured it's come up anyhow. :lol:

The thing I'm missing here, maybe someone can explain to me?

What was the point of this thread? My assumption was that the OP was trying to show off that he had a toolbox. Others have interpreted that he was sharing some important snap-on info of some sort.

I'm not anti-Snap-On, as you know if you've seen me post, I think they make essentially the best hard line mechanics tools available, and I highly recommend them. I have a SO box myself, and have had others before the one I have.

What I can't see is what important snap-on info is in the original post and picture. Is this some rare, hard to find box, or an important improvement in boxes, or some unique adaptation or use of components to make something useful? Are the stickers or magnets or such something unique to be proud of? Or is it just someone showing off that he was able to save a couple months of pay or borrow from the SO man and buy a toolbox?

Anybody more perceptive than me able to figure this out? OP, what information were you trying to convey to us?

It is not intuitive on Apple devices. Everything seems happy in Steveworld until the file is shared.

I think I have done it before by rotating it 4 x 90 before uploading, but what kind of weirdo tries that out before posting? :lol:

Not sure what kind of thought or comments you were looking for.
Any way Welcome to our group,
Nice looking tool box, Did you buy it new or used. Hope you got a killer deal on it.
Don't let the internet Bullies get under your skin. Some forgot that they were not on the play ground in grade school, They see a new person and have to try to start trouble or scare the new person away. Just look at their screen names and you will learn to just not read their posts, that away you don't get sucked into a fight and get kicked off the forum.
Any way as I said welcome and please keep posting. Richard.
