USAG Tool Chest

[alberto]

Anyone have any idea what this might be worth, assuming it is in good condition and all/most tools are still with it?

I have no idea, but it's a cool box!!

Looks like a store display. Extras are kept in the drawers

If I recall, those were quite costly when new.

A Facom set like that was regularly selling on ebay last year for $1795.

I remember that Griot's used to have that set in their catalog years ago, don't remember what it cost then.

Thanks guys for the responses. The guy's asking $2k for it, although he's been selling it for 6 months or so at least and was asking $3k (the internet is a wonderful/scary thing, you can run but you cannot hide; I found all of this history by searching on google for a while).

It's a bit too rich for me, so I was hoping it would not be worth that much so I could push him down a lot on his price. I think it's a very cool tool box.

Facom has this box which looks a little bit like the USAG box ( a bit smaller though) but it`s on sale right now for 859.- €

Looks neat, but alot of wasted space. Wouldn't win a "you ****" award at that price, for sure.

i used to sell them in the eighties and at that time they were $2000.00 plus shipping, I still have mine I keep here at home

 

[billymade]

vssjim, can you take some pics for us? I would love to see bigger pics and all the tools that went with the set... can you differentiate Facom and where USAG stands brand wise... lower, higher, same etc. ?

I will give $3000 for it depending on where it is for shipping?

Depends a lot on what tools are included. It might be a screaming good deal or a so-so deal.

Old post but interesting. I've got a couple of USAG tools; they're not fancy, but good quality. Saw a much larger set advertised several months ago that was complete; according to the ad, it was owned and being sold by an older gent who owned a Ferrari, and was retiring from the hobby. For many years USAG's claim to fame was that they supplied the Ferrari factory and the F1 team as well. Don't know if that's still the case.
