I've had my eye set on the kobalt one that has a radio and a ice box build in. No dinero tho
Those boxes are nice but I've already got a stereo and I'd want a bigger fridge for the garage anyway.

Once we get in the house, Ill be epoxying the garage floor, setting up the surround sound, getting a beer fridge(with 8 years worth of performance stickers to put on it ) and I plan on insulating the garage door so I can keep it nice and toasty in the winter and keep it decently cool in the summer with a small swamp cooler. Finding a small swamp cooler for a decent price has been more difficult than I thought so keep your eyes peeled for me if you dont mind.

Good looking box man! I like those for home/personal use. Those and kobalt make nice home boxes. They don't last long in my field though.

I was thinking the same thing!! But seeing that he's getting ready to move I figured I would bite my tongue.

Smart move on the epoxy, I would suggest doing a double coat as well. Mine is holding up really well but I keep thinking a second layer would of been perfect!

I was working out of several boxes and one of them happened to get bent very badly during a move one day.

I got the "less expensive" series of box that Snap-On makes but still has a good amount of storage. Once I started filling it up, I quickly realized that I'll be buying a top box or side cabinets for this one in the future




It's a 72"x25"x42" Classic series and when I got this he threw in a matching roll cart to work out of. I was tired of having all my high dollar tools out in the open and not able to be locked up. I also got a slip cover a few weeks ago for it... Because it may be leaving where it's at and coming to the house while I pursue other forms of employment

Nice tools boxes! Its a great feeling when you upgrade from your little box to one that has more space than your clothes dresser LOL. I used to have 2 craftsman boxes and then I got a Snap-On KRL7022 Master Series box for the garage and love it! Eventually going toi get a side cabinet aswell. I had mine for over 2 years now.

I considered that same box when I was looking but I was out for plain and simple cubic inch per dollar LOL. They're awesome boxes but structurally the Classics are the same box and I was kind of in hurry-up mode haha. I opted for the maple top for mine too instead of the stainless most everyone else gets 1, because it was waaaay cheaper LOL, 2, because I hadnt seen a wood top box in a very long time. And 3, because it was waaaay cheaper
