New SnapOn Toolbox

Here is the home shop shot...





And a shot of the foam bottom box.





Makes finding out where what is super simple. I used ebay images as I haven't taken pics of it.

Mine from when Costco had them for ~$800

Ball bearings, and really nice, especially for the cost. I can't find CSPS anymore though - maybe they went out of business. IDK.



It's no Snap-on, but I'm no pro mechanic.

List price, which I didnt pay, is $8995.00.

Just curious, how can tool boxes be so expensive? I'm pretty ignorant on the subject, but they don't seem all that complex to me.

Hey guys...well this is what i am used to working out of...nothing like having a few big tool boxes just sitting there at your disposal. filled with the vast majority of snap on tools. the two smaller ones will be traded soon to our snap-on guy for a Three-bank top and bottom that he has on his truck.

enjoy



btw sorry for the crappy cell phone pic...

My Gray Tools box pales in comparison to that. I'll have to buy a nice box eventually, that I can put all my metrics in.

I got the Mac set because of the foam cut tool storage,

You mean it has foam cut outs in the shape of each tool? That's awesome!

My Snap-On roll cart, and Mac Tools Chip Foose Set. There is nothing like a clean, well sorted toolbox, I got the Mac set because of the foam cut tool storage, I hate stuff rolling away, and when it has a home, it makes finding out whats lost 10x easier.

I love my Snap-On box, but it's starting to get pretty small. I just spent some money on a nice, big BluePoint roll-cart, but it's too big for me to cart around. It would free up some space in my toolbox if I actually put any of my tools in it, but I just can't get used to it.

My next box will be similar to yours, but I think I'm going to spend the extra few hundred bucks to have it painted a nice, obnoxious shade of pink. No one will want to go near it to borrow my tools, and screw resale value. By the time I'm retired and ready to sell it, it'll be so beat up, nobody will want it anyway.

My cousin has the same box but with a stainless top and another side cabinet. Its huge. The drawers and locks are so nice on the Snap-On boxes.






Ive got a plain jane Crafstman box. The Ball bearing drawers are a must.
Ill hopefully get a middle box and MORE TOOLS for Christmas.

I have an ancient Snap-On and a Harbor Freight box. It's not bad for the price I paid for it, better than most Craftsman and Home Depot/Lowes boxes.

Nice fucking box, man. Nothing says "professional" like a good tool box.

I have Matco from 1990. 17 years later is is still doing fine. Quality shows!

While I only have a lowly craftsman, I completely agree about the organization. It makes a world of difference.

Same here, I just got a new Craftsman box actually, for my birthday, the blue one:



Once I got all my tools organized, and actually had ROOM for them all (going from the red one below), it made going for the right thing SO much easier. That is a very nice box.

Here's my MAC Gatornationals box. 6' tall and wide with a nice tall top drawer so my big sockets can stand up. I had 6K just in the box 5 years ago.

Thank you! I wish I could have afforded the top for 5600.

Very, very nice toolbox. I'll have to post up a few pictures.
