OK, how about a
2k is giving it away. 4K firesale. 6k reasonable value, more is a bonus.
Good luck with that. I just bought a triple bank master series with a ss top, hutch and locker in mint condition one year old $8k
Anyone paying big money for the new chinesium boxes are crazy. Might as well buy a goddamn harbor freight box. If someone wants to overpay for some Chinese snap on, that’s on them.
I guess if you consider a master series Snap-On box a Chinesium, ok.
Is it still made in America? As a kid, I could drive past the factory in Algona, Iowa. So it was worth it. Is the master series still made in America? If not, no, it’s not worth it.
No disrespect, are you local? Have you been by there? Not arguing, just surprised.
Yup. Complete shit now. I overpaid with pride Circa 2000 when it was American made by American workers. I’m not paying for Chinese anything. Glad I got out when I did.
Don’t even want to turn in my broken shit for this China bullshit. Glad I got out when I did. Makes me sick to see the Cruz Pedregon funny car, knowing the tools are complete shit. I came really close to becoming a dealer. But I can’t push chinesium Junk on people. If the quality was the same it was 20 years ago, I would be a proud dealer and making a decent living. But it’s not and I can’t live a lie.
Back in the day, we knew anything cordless or electric was junk. But the warranty would allow us to get it replaced. I didn’t buy anything other than hand tools, as the gamewaves are stupid.
Might be my OCD, but I think your caster is crooked...
Little short of a “taco cart” but still bad ass, for everyone else reading, as a tech, it is with great pride to have a great box, or multiple, some will not understand, however those of us that do, understand.
Snap-ons electric tools have always been 3rd party rebranded and overpriced, their hand tools like ratchets, wrenches, sockets, and screwdrivers havent been matched in tolerance or finish that ive found. Their toolboxes are nice but definitely overpriced for the cahs buyer. Their business model is now revolved around credit, my new snap-on guy looked at me like i was crazy when i asked for a 'total' the first time i bought from him, he actually asked me to leave an open balance for his metrics.
I understand completely, I never carry a balance anymore, lol, my dealer is retiring in January and I expect his replacement will be pissed that I pay in full when I need something
I've been doing that for 32 years. Or take a personal loan out for 99% less interest than snap it off in your ass credit. After almost 200k my tool buying days are pretty much over unless I need a new set of screw drivers of pliers.
There are a lot of deals on SO boxes recently. I think it may have something to do with a lot of dealerships going to built-in boxes and telling all the techs to bring their boxes home. Dunno.
I'd be in for 3600
This: once you own a snap-on box, you’ll never buy anything else. They are that good.
I have a lot of old Snap-On (good ones) but damn, the prices are wild. However if they put bread on the table and last for years then it's somewhat justified. Pricing for their aircraft tools.

I hadn’t planned to….the prick saw me eyeballing it on the truck and before he left, wheeled it over and parked in my 2nd stall…said if I didn’t want it he’d pick it up the next week. Fucker. Lol
To be fair, it's got more metal in it and has a better paint job than most cars.
Call the world headquarters and let them know. I only had to do that one time. Worked like a charm
btw those are Matco boxes
The photo was taken at the Body Palace in Huntington Beach. The Blonde thought she came for an audition.
Yep , that little bar is still in the lower drawer !That sir is the "Aircraft Special". The little hidden storage for special service tools/documents is a nifty identifier too. Does it still have the hook bar under the handle on bottom right side? The same setup baggage carts use....it's how they toted that fucker around from plane to plane for service.
I love mine and would never sell it! Only thing I changed was buying the rubber mat to replace the tattered top surface. Bonus info: they are rated for 4k weight (in addition to tool load) to allow for service needs in the field, it's why it has spring loaded casters. Super heavy duty. When I was young mine had all sorts of transmissions and engines on top of it when I needed an extra bench haha!
Just don't forget to drain things properly. Getting gear oil and other fluids out of the drawers SUCKS if you have a brain fart.
As far as the OP that was a 12-13k setup in the early 2000's if I remember right, roller slides but no spring casters. Used it's 6-8k if you can find one on a truck.
Member to member, I'd say a good deal is 4-5k.
Is there a story behind the Wozencraft decal in the urinal?
