Shall we have a show your tool boxes thread?

[Uncle Buck]

I thought that was a lot of gear for a home shop.

It comes from working on just about anything and from years before I was born to new stuff.

That and being a member here doesn't help the tool buying

Tools are the best investment of one's trade... And you have a comprehensive assortment to get the job done...

A few years back three SnapOn tool boxes came with one of my major acquisitions. To recoup some of my investment. Plus I couldn't justify having all three. I kept one and sold off the other two...  I'm not familiar with the SnapOn line. But I'm sure some member could easily rattle them off... 

I kept this roller combo set for one of my garages.


The next two quickly found new homes that made two fellas very happy...

I'll give it a shot. 

KR 655, KR 650, KR 292

KR 657, KR 637

I'm going to guess KRL 761 for the last one.

After looking at the rear panels of the Snapon roller cabinet combo in my garage. They are KR-660 B and Top Box is KR-650 A .. That indicate they are were 1988 models.. The other three I don't have or remember their models.. You nailed the two. And I say you're on target with the rest..

 

I still have this tired old SnapOn roller cabinet that must date back to the 1940's or early 1950's.. I found several pictures on the internet. One say's it's a model 50 S,, and another K23..

It's 18" deep by 34" wide and 32" tall w/o wheels. Nine drawers with an roll top desk front cover. Once again this came with the purchase of a 120 year old car.

OCG,this is from the 1954 Snap On catalog:



And mine that I picked up in 2014.  Got the top box a couple of years earlier.  Light still works fine.

That's a wonderful piece of SnapOn history that you own... And thanks for posting the catalog page featuring the Rolla-Bench. Answers many of  my questions. It's a fascinating option to add the three drawer section to take up the large open space. I prefer drawers over open areas myself. The worn red paint only on the bottom three drawers indicated they were originally white. As the catalog lists the cabinet was offered in white.  Maybe for medial use..   

The Masonite top on mine is in good shape for it's age. And I don't see marks of a cabinet set on top. I have to wonder why the four holes that align to to steel top. And it does have the two prong duplex outlet. Though No light...

I purchased this cabinet thinking that I'd either restore it or sell it to a SnapOn buff. Seeing that I have so many projects with a limited amount of time. Maybe I should sell it to someone that would bring it back to life.

OCG... You need to send me that sweet ol roller door snappy or at least will it to me!!!!

LOL.

[Uncle Buck]

An olt timer worthy of restoration for sure!

[Uncle Buck]

Droolworthy for any tool hound worth his salt!

[Uncle Buck]

Diamond in the rough right there!

[Uncle Buck]

Those would have been tough to choose between!

[OldCarGuy]

The SapOn 300-B Rolla-Bench is in sound condition. All the slides are sticky and one drawer slide is broken. The drawer fronts are bent. But it's all there.. And I have too many projects to complete. Any guess what it would sell for.

From a quick search, two present-day ebay listings.. 



A smaller model at an even higher price.
