Re: Lets see your Toolbox!

I have a Snap On KR1000 from about 1985. Has anyone tried to take a box apart and paint or powder coat it?

KR1000s are cool boxes, The grandfather of all modern Snap-on masters series roll cabs. Are the aluminum risers & drawer pulls in good shape? If not....Leave it alone....That stuff cost a small fortune from Snap-on.

All drawer guides & casters are covered by Snan-on, Might take some time on a Box that old, but they will make it right.

I want some pics of this box.....As the maker of this thread I command you

I took apart my 50th anniversary Mac box years ago and blasted it and painted it when I was in college. It was a ton of work and I only got the bottom section done.

Re: Lets see your Toolbox!

you'll have to excuse the mess,, was in the middle of too many projects when was broken in to and had a bunch of things stolen. Took a bunch of random pictures of things for the insurance man.

This one,, is the best one of all..... courtesy of Mr. Steven Pullin (Pullin TV) Don't know who makes them for NAPA, but is a reallllly nice box.




Hey..... At least things inside are slightly more orginized than things appear outside LOL


Had this old Homak box I had gotten from my Dads estate before the Pinks thing,, I was tickeled with it until I won the NAPA box. It's a POS compared to the NAPA box.

mine looks like your friends box. packed with tools. a drawer is 4'' deep so you can get 4'' of tools in it
it always amazes me that the guys with the biggest boxes usually have one layer of tools
with the original molded plastic display case and lots of empty space.
they also have a couple of drawers full of stuff, no tools, just parts, old hoses, ketchup & mustard packs, nuts and bolts.
must be a biggest box wins thing?
