I Bought a 1980s Snap on Toolbox with Tools for a Few Hundred Dollars 

I have from garage sales two Snap-on tool chests (1956 and 1984) for $125 each. After I dissembled, degreased them, and used cleaner wax they look cool.

My back still hurts from moving that top box! 🤣 Those older boxes are built super well!

I use ice and water barrier (roofing material) in my toolbox drawers, it has adhesive on the back so it won't slide around and is very thin so it won't take any depth away from your drawers, it works well for me

My old man has the same one and it survived a 100 gallon compressor explosion with only a couple dents! Things are made like tanks.

I like drawer liner from harbor freight. Stays put doesn't slide. Good buy and good luck.

Congrats on the new toolbox! Sounds like you got a great deal on it, and those older boxes are usually built like tanks-that will serve you well and should last a long time.

Is excellent deal ! I bought my drawer liner from harbor freight , Works fine for me , Have fun take care

That is a pretty cool Snap-on box set and you got a great deal! The newer ones are not made a strong as these earlier ones. That long flat tool with the 3/8 drive is a serpentine belt tensioner release tool. It allows you to get in tight spaces. Thanks for sharing.

That Snap On box combo has always been my favourite. Nearly got my hands on one about 10 years ago, but at the last second some cheeky chancer beat me to it.

First thing the bar is for serpentine belts. Second thing is the wire. It’s called mechanics wire. Used for holding pieces or parts together.

I have the Matco Toolbox set which is the same size. I'm 6'3", an I can barely get to the top tool well. I made a small step to help me get to the tools.

23 year diesel tech I have a 84 kra I like to use yoga mat for my draw liners & my work cart it works good 👍

I have that same box! I bought it in separate pieces and believe it or not parts are still available for it. I ordered all new slides and locks for mine. I would recommend some ribbed rubber matting for liners. I’m excited to see what y’all do with it and the clean up process.

Along time ago that model was my first new box keep it for the first 20 years as a mechanic it was a good box

Snap on did have black handles for screwdrivers

Nice haul! Good luck on the hunt!

Harbor Freight has black roils of liner material. They are nice and work very well. Looks like you going to need several rolls. I use a piece of plywood, T squire and Razor Blade when cutting the liner. I find that seems to work the best. Great Score.

my brother in law bought the other snap on box the guy had. i actually bought a bunch of snap on tools from him as well and picked out a bunch of 6 point craftsman wrenches from this box. The $500 he was asking was a good deal but im glad you got to score it even cheaper!

love the box gents, another good find.

Anyway you figure it, a great deal, even with the wear and dents. Clean it, use some rubbing compound on the finish, and a coat of wax, and it will look great.

Great score

I use the drawer liner from HF. It's decent.

No the logo is right we're i t should be I've got one kr550 and 556i think I'd have to go look at the back to be positive

Buy some floor padding for laminate flooring you get a big roll for pretty cheap

No I got the same set and yes the snap on emblem is the same place as mine just I still have the bottom emblem same side as top

For my toolbox draw liners I use smooth bottom carpet runner

Black and white trunk paint, spray in drawers for liner .

Empty it out power wash it, sand it, paint it and you will have a very nice box

I would find the old logo and stick it on. May have been the cursive logo back then

That's the 81-95 logo. That emblem alone is a hundred bucks on fleabay... Dunno if I'm the only one this nerdy but I won't own any snap on not in that year range other than electronics obviously.

Nice toolbox. How many inch wide its?
