Hi,
I am looking to buy a second hand snap on tool box (top box and roller cab) I have looked on eBay but all are to far away. Does anybody know where I would be able to buy one?


Thanks.

A second hand Snap-On box is probably going to cost the same as a new Clarke Professional job from Machine Mart. There's no doubt that the Snap-On kit is much better quality , but unles you're a professional mechanic using it day in, day out, then the Clarke will be fine.

This box is for work so it will be used daily

Most snap on dealers have a few used boxes available. Failing that, you'll have to travel or buy a new one.

AS above your local Snap On dealer may have or know of s/h gear ,a phone call may be well worth it , they some time get nos or wharehouse damaged stuff to usually bad scratches ,dents but nothing that can't be repaired or lived with

Id take a punt on one of these and spend the money on the tools instead.They usually sell for around the starting bid, check the feedback.
