what would u value this snap-on box?

[Bouchard93]

I have a chance to buy this box what would u say its worth?

unsure the model number but I would say its a easy 8 or 9 out 10 far as condition and all.

 

[ianguilly]

3k max, looks to be 56'' x 30''

 

[Bouchard93]

3k max, looks to be 56'' x 30''

lets just say im getting a better deal then that.

 

[bobcatdan]

I'd say $1200 to $1500 if 30" deep. I can't tell if if is a 24" deep 761 or a 30" deep 7000. $750 would be my top price for a 761.

 

[zkling]

I don't know much about the newer boxes, but if it works like it should the $1500 price seems fair I guess.

bob, it is a 60"x24" box.

But for $500 more I wonder what all tools you get with it?

[Bouchard93]

lol craigslist ,but I know the guy personally and getting a little better deal.

 

[zkling]

What is the model and background story?

 

[Bouchard93]

do u need to know everything? he is exactly good friends with my brother and is on his way right now to bring it to me. him and his wife are moving to Tennessee and could use the extra money right now to help with the move.

 

[Todd.Brock]

What price are you paying? I have a habit of stealing boxes on CL so I'm a bit jaded. I would jump on a 1022 or any 30" box for 1500. For a 24" box, it would take less than a grand to make me consider. But that's just me an I'm cheap.. But would pay a little more to help a friend out

 

[uniballer]

He doesnt owe on it does he?

It was a simple question, the entire situation seems kinda sketchy. Don't get pissy just because I caught it.

 

[mopar01]

That's a krl 761b. I sold mine for 2000. No wooden snap on top. Its a solid box and you'll be happy with it.

 

[mopar01]

Btw 54 in not 60.

Implicit in the tone of your thread was that you were soliciting opinions for making an offer on the box. Instead, you've made a deal to buy it and it appears you're looking to assure yourself you got a great deal by asking us what we'd pay.

Next time, skip the ego trip and just post pics after you buy it.

Just going off what the seller posted. Maybe they measured over the handle or something. I have no doubt you are correct compared to the average Cl ad.

 

[Bouchard93]

well when I start the thread we where discussing a price and within minutes came to a prices of 1000$ cash plus 50$ to deliver ... just got of the phone with him and he will be here in about 20 mins ....

I will posted a few pics and get a model # and such ..

I know just saying. I had one for a year and didn't like the skinny drawers.

 

[sparky7]

if i had one i would sell it for 3k, if i was buying one i would only pay 1500. That said, it is the best box you can buy KLR is the best toolbox in the world hands down

That is a very bold statement. What all boxes are you comparing it against?

 

[Bouchard93]

well here she is ....... (I know crappy cheap cell pic I will take some more tomorrow once I put my tools in it)

 

[Bouchard93]

and u ask what tools I could have got for 300$ more he is a boby man so they were spray guns body hammers and some stanley stuff nothing I didnt already have or would ever use. might have been some quailty guns but idk?

 

[netcaretaker]

Having bought some boxes in the past I would look at the slides pretty close if I where you. You might actually want to take them off and really clean the with a soak in something, that body shop dust takes a toll on the bearings.

Nice buy, good luck.

I did notice that they could use a good cleaning and lube with do u guys use that works the best?

 

[Lookin4'67Galaxieconv]

That butcher block will do just fine for preparing cold cuts on.

 

[zkling]

Nice box, good deal I don't see many butcher blocks on the used market.

That butcher block will do just fine for preparing cold cuts on.

I noticed that too. From one guys kitchen to the other. Metric wrenches upper right drawer, forks knives and spoons upper left.

 

[fatfillup]

You guys are funny!!

The box is 24 inch deep. The 29 inch deep have the spring loaded wheels.

You got a u **** deal on that box. As a reseller, I would have bought it,,,,even though my inventory is long right now. Used retail would be about $2000 in my store.

 

[fatfillup]

Looks to be about a dozen drawers so $300 in slides, $160 in castors, 9 sheets of 20 gauge and a gallon of paint.About $850 plus labor. How much is a Craftsman these daze ? I never understood guys paying the price of a newer used car for a tuckin' foolbox.

Guy said he paid $1000 plus $50 for delivery. A craftsman that size would be the same money and no where near the quality of the box. I don't get your point.

Now if you were referring to the new price, you have a more valid point.

But, a flat rate mechanic is paid on production. If his tools are organized, he can make more money so a big box can pay for itself. Plus you won't find a Cman box that will hold up to long term pro use. Not to mention, some folks like to have nice stuff and take pride in ownership. I'm sure there are nice things you own or would like to own that others would find a foolish waste of money. To each his own.


Now if you wonder about young mechanics who have big boxes and no tools, I wonder about that myself. Invest in the tools first and the big box as your career progresses. Plus as your career progresses, you hopefully make more money and can afford a bigger box.

Now to tool box wars in dealerships,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,we are on the same page there

You put the box in your kitchen?

snap on doesnt reccomend cleaning or lubeing the slides, Just replace them, Call them and they will send them out

 

[Bouchard93]

I just wiped the grime off and wd40'd them seems a alot better should be all they need for now ..... & yes I have it in the kitchens since I dont have a garage and I will be moving in a few months & going to find somewhere with a garage. (gets old working around the weather)

 

[DRhodes]

Better not load it too full. That thing my go through the floor!!

 

[Bouchard93]

lol I leave in a basement apartment under the cheap laminate is concrete.

Seriously? Does that include the older BB boxes? Is their profit margin that high that they can afford to do that?

 

[Bouchard93]

I wonder'd the same thing this is a second hand box I doubt there go to warranty them out they work fine after a wipe down and lubed with wd40 .... I was just wondering if there is a certain product u guys recommend?

 

[Todd.Brock]

You might get them swapped out if you have a dealer. I called cust service for my KRA boxes. I bought one and he sent me the other 5 for " free". Took some doin though. They said if they didn't have a record of me buying slides or a box , they wouldn't warranty them. So he said buy one so it's on record and swap them out under that one...not exactly honest, but it was his idea...

 

[zkling]

Do the modern boxes still use Accuride slides like the late 80's, early 90's boxes did?
