Not to thread crap but... It was a bittersweet day today, with tool chests...

 

My parents had to move out of the house into an apartment recently. So today was scrap the metal in the garage no one wanted to buy, and that they don't have room for. We disassembled dad's original Snap On tool chest circa 1960 tossed the drawers in the bin. Most of the drawers were half full of tools we couldn't sell for .25 a wrench, because they were actually used not shiny I guess?

 

Ironically, it was actually easier to take apart the old Snap On cabinet, than the Mac highboy he in bought in the late 70's. I cringed seeing the dollars going down the shoot. Also a complete snap on hydraulic ram, in the original chest. A valve grinding station that still worked perfectly....

 

We also found out that a complete Pontiac 400 motor from a Trans AM weighs, exactly 2 hernias, one for him, one for me, when we had to manhandle into the bin ourselves when our help didn't show up LOL

 

I remember going out to the garage he worked at and not being tall enough to steal pennies out of the top drawer of the Snap On chest for the gum ball machine... So I used to have sneak a wooden coke box over to the chest stand on it to reach into the drawer, while my sister stood guard LOL...

Hey Terry... you should have waited for Friday and the normal flyer... 320 pc Maximum socket set. Reg $599.99 for only $149.99 ! I should probably have as well.... but I spent $457 today so I'm not allowed back ! LOL

I wish I had known about your Dad's old Snap-On stuff, it all would have found a good home

 

Adam, you and the others on here, who mentioned an interest in them probably understand that a Snap ON or MAC professional tool doesn't have to still be all shiny to still work perfectly fine, and a lot better than some cheap drop forgie special...

 

As my Dad said he used to have crawl under big diesel trucks all day for the first 35yrs he was a mechanic. If you were smart, you soon learned to set down on the floor, or ground what tools you KNEW you were going to need while you under there.

 

With the tools down there, you could just roll out on the creeper and grab what you wanted, and roll back to work. Instead of having to roll out get up walk, over to your tool cabinet at the front of the bay.... (Also trashed 2 perfectly good creepers and one restoration kit for them BTW LOL) So of course things would get scuffed or marked from doing that over the 60 plus years, in all kinds of weather.

 

I guess most of the people who looked at them during the sale we had were more interested in just looking at them rather than ever WORKING with them?
