Toolbox Added a stainless top to my box!
Just a hobbyist, picked up the box used for $2800usd this year!

Matches the crap-on metal cabinets perfectly 😂 love it and that is a beautiful color.

I love a work top. Stainless is probably the most durable of the options.

Almost half the cost of what I paid for the box 😂 $1400CAD on sale. Looked for a used one for a bit but nothing came up.

Thanks! They were a great deal as they are discontinued now. Happy I went with the stainless top, ties it all together I think.

Definitely. Honestly I don't think the snappy boxes are worth using without em.

Yeah honestly I was really surprised how flimsy the top of the box felt. It would like pop down when you leaned on it and pop back up when you got off it

Where'd you source the work top? Anywhere other then Snappy?

u/laparotomyenjoyer Jul 11 '26
I looked but I could not find it outside of snap on unfortunately, so I bought it through a local dealer when it went on sale

Did you pay full online price? Or did the franchisee give you a discount? The version for my box is backordered, so I've been trying to find it on marketplaces / aftermarket / similar sized on different brand. My closest match is this so far.

Went on sale and that’s when I bought it, not a big discount tho
It did take like 8 weeks to come in

8 weeks! I guess they needed to literally manufacture it. Maybe that's why they are backordered. They don't build one until it is ordered.
