Title: SNAP ON MID SECTION CL FIND
Post by: ken w. on March 04, 2019, 10:11:35 AM

I picked up this SO 3 drawer mid box today off CL for $ 50.00. The as said it was full of tools and it did have tools , they were mostly Asian. There were a few treasures tho. Some 1/4" drive Mustang tools and Channellock. This pic is from the sellers ad. The box is still in my trunk.    This box matches my original SO top & bottom I bought when I first started in the mid 1980's.    I think this mid box was over $ 500.00 new back then. This is older than my bottom box that I bought new .

It's still in the trunk. It's too cold out to be motivated right now. I think its 6 degrees out. I'll get it out tomorrow and see if I can see the model number and some more pics.

Yes , it's a Kra249. I got it put up today. Now the stack is 6" taller than I like it. I have too stand on my toes to see inside the top.
