I stupidly paid 10x that for my snap on cart that’s almost identical. the harbor freight boxes are overall really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve looked at them a few times when getting sockets and stuff there. They seemed pretty good to me. If I didn’t buy snap on boxes years ago I’d buy one. Harbor freight is hit or miss though some stuff is good some is shit. I’ve basically replaced 60% of my work tools with cheapy harbor freight stuff. It’s much less painful to loose a .99 cent socket vs a $30 one. Keep the good stuff at home now. I got no complaints with the hand tools other than the torx bits I go through like candy.

My Craftsman box from the 1970's works just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is warranty though I just haven’t cared enough to get it fixed yet and don’t feel like emptying all the shit out of the drawer. My home one is perfect but it gets used a lot less. I haven’t bought snap on shit in years though mainly warranty claims. It was basically all I bought when I first got into the trade but there is just as good options of tools for way way way less money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racinfarmer Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 How vain are you? Picked up one of these from Ernst, Made in the US, for $8 or $9 this morning in red. Another store has the neon green one I desire, not made in the US, for $25! Same tray, the green one is a knock off. https://www.ernstmfg.com/store/p/27-5010-Ten-Compartment-Organizer-Tray-Red.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin george Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I've got a couple Snap-On boxes to get rid of and a ton of tools. I'm gonna go thru them and sell everything. My brother had a ton of shit in his shop that I have to sort thru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racinfarmer Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 Keeping anything for yourself to upgrade what you have? I'd be tempted to keep one of those bottom boxes for a "service cart" style box and the middle Craftsman one for a benchtop or trunk box.

smokin george Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I wouldn't really call it a barn find but there's a ton of goodies in the shop. Welders,tools, air comp, etc etc that I have to go thru. I'm gonna put my battery charger on the Vettes to see if I can get them going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definately a slow progress. I'm pretty sure the 73 is coming home. I have to throw my battery charger on it and see. It's in good shape inside/out and the motor has had a bit of work done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
