I have a Snap On KR1000 from about 1985. Has anyone tried to take a box apart and paint or powder coat it?

Color works for me but yellow works too! Nice set-up and

Gotta hate it when it takes up 1/3 of the garage

WELCOME TO THE BOARD Northern neighbor!
Sure wish I had enough tools to store in such a beast...
I would gladly give up a third of my garage!
PS--I personally like the purple...

KR1000s are cool boxes, The grandfather of all modern Snap-on masters series roll cabs. Are the aluminum risers & drawer pulls in good shape? If not....Leave it alone....That stuff cost a small fortune from Snap-on.

All drawer guides & casters are covered by Snan-on, Might take some time on a Box that old, but they will make it right.

I want some pics of this box.....As the maker of this thread I command you

I took apart my 50th anniversary Mac box years ago and blasted it and painted it when I was in college. It was a ton of work and I only got the bottom section done.

you'll have to excuse the mess,, was in the middle of too many projects when was broken in to and had a bunch of things stolen. Took a bunch of random pictures of things for the insurance man.

This one,, is the best one of all..... courtesy of Mr. Steven Pullin (Pullin TV) Don't know who makes them for NAPA, but is a reallllly nice box.

Hey..... At least things inside are slightly more orginized than things appear outside LOL

Had this old Homak box I had gotten from my Dads estate before the Pinks thing,, I was tickeled with it until I won the NAPA box. It's a POS compared to the NAPA box.

Would you sell the radio pictured?

jitteryguy · 02-19-2012, 02:45 AM

the black cart I just got, still in the box for now.
the red box I've had for quite a while. I have about $700 in it and it will handle any thing any compairable size Snap-on box will.
the Pink one I just got my girlfreind for christmas, make sure Google is on "Safe search" if you try to look for one !
the black Snap-On is my company issue'd box I use at work. it's a nice box, just WAY over price'd !

hayhauler71 · 03-15-2012, 09:48 PM

here is the ones out in the garage

mine looks like your friends box. packed with tools. a drawer is 4'' deep so you can get 4'' of tools in it

it always amazes me that the guys with the biggest boxes usually have one layer of tools
with the original molded plastic display case and lots of empty space.
they also have a couple of drawers full of stuff, no tools, just parts, old hoses, ketchup & mustard packs, nuts and bolts.
must be a biggest box wins thing?
