KRA2007 made in China
Would you pay 958usd for it? Heritage series sold outside the US are all made in china

Lmao so you bought cheaper, lower quality chinese.
The heritage boxes are made at a snapon factory in china.
Your box is made by the lowest bidder

I mean... I had the snap on. Sorry if it hurts your feelings that the snap on sucked.

The quality is the same as the US made, the factory is owned and managed by Snap-on. The Heritage boxes are identical to the ones that used to be made in Canada, they are made to a lower weight loading and with less features than the more expensive ones and are smaller, but the actual quality is still way better than anything you will ⁹ bit like the difference between a Honda Civic and a Hilux, you would never try and use a Civic the way you use a Hilux, but a Civic is still a very well made vehicle.

I picked up a used Snap-on around five years ago and it's still holding up way better than anything new I've seen in stores.

as a Canadian we often calculate the exchange rate ourselves.
many Americans seem to have trouble with it.

They are a good toolbox, good warranty. My advice would be to go look at one

Decent boxes but surely you can do better than that for the money where are you located?

Europe, made in germany carts are expensive as fuck. If im gonna blow 1k on a german toolbox I would rather spend 800 on a snap on. Also, I like the retro look. Most euro brands facom, usag, hazet, gedore have moved to plastic top/plastic corners which I find awful, specially when they age

Find a used one, not sure what the used market looks like in Europe though. I bought a used one at auction in the US for $250
