ClassicTractorProfessor 5,319 #1 Posted November 10, 2021 Today was finally the day I've been waiting for for about a month now. Back about the first part of October the SnapOn Rock N Roll Cab Express paid us a visit at the shop. I've always dreamed of having a nice box, but never figured I could get the approval with no credit. I have excellent credit with my small town bank, but they don't report anything so credit anywhere else has always been out of the question. But after talking with my dealer he thought he could get me approved, and he was able to come through. Ended up settling for a box that our dealer had in stock, a KCP1422 55" with power drawer and SpeeDrawer. Finished in flat black with teal trim, and complete with a worktop surface with built in power. He delivered the box today, and between it and the US General I already had I should have plenty of room to expand for quite a while now 7 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 41,441 #6 Posted November 10, 2021 Ah yes. The Days of Snap on and Mac Tools. What a time to be alive! Back in the old days, the tool dealers were older established family men. They made a good living and helped you out some. I remember smashing my 12 Volt Snap On test light when closing a hood. He gave me a new one and warrantied it! Then there was the time a different Snap On dealer and the Mac Dealer were trying to sell me a new box. The Snap On guy was pushing this giant box. He was even going to throw in a stool for free so I could see in the top of the box! I'm 6'1" and dins't want a box I had to climb something to use. Mac won. Bought my last box around '92. I tipped it over about 4 years ago and damaged 4 drawers and runners. Mac sent me new parts to fix it for FREE!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As it was rolling one of the wheels hit something on the floor and stopped it dead. All of the drawers flew open and down the entire thing went. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

76c12091520h 3,675 #11 Posted November 11, 2021 I did the exact opposite of this back in September. Outgrew the overpriced Snap-on toolbox I purchased 20 years ago, sold that for what I had in it and bought a more appropriate sized box..... 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Outgrew the overpriced Snap-on toolbox I purchased 20 years ago, sold that for what I had in it and bought a more appropriate sized box..... I originally thought about buying a US General 72 to go alongside the 44" set I already own. Nice boxes and I could have went to the new store they opened up about an hour away and paid cash for it and been done. Main reason I decided to go ahead with the Snap-On box was the opportunity to build my credit. I love my small town bank, and the fact that I can call my banker on his personal cell if I need to, and he will tell me to write the check for whatever it is I want to purchase. I honestly believe I could call him tomorrow and tell him I wanted to buy a quarter section of land and he'd tell me to go for it. But the main downfall of that bank, as well as many other small town banks across the country...they don't loan money for houses, or any other land with permanent structures for that matter. So I needed some way to build some kind of credit, I looked into a couple secured credit cards, and seriously thought about them as well. But then this opportunity came about, and I figured why not. I can make the weekly payments on time, or pay double every week same as I already do with my truck account and save some on the high interest over time, build a credit score, and have something nice to show for my hard work and something I can use as well. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
