ashtray Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 fairly sure that it isnt 25k new, mac boxes are cheap in comparison to snap on, and snap on do a bigger one for around 20k. mine cost £1600 2nd hand! they are expensive but snap on quality is 2nd to none. and they hold their value exceptionally well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ste clark Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 my last snap-on one was £5000.... it was no where near the size of that one!!! i think i might go and sell my ass to get this!! any takers?? i will wash it first!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I hadn't realised donkeys were worth that much.... clean or otherwise.... Nice toolbox though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat_pending Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I have a similar box, just the centre section without the two end cabinets. It's a limited edition in blue, stickered up for the rizla Suzuki British Superbike team, came with a pit trolley/toolbox. Cost £2500 plus my old Snap on set up about 3 years ago. If he thinks he'll get ten grand for that he's having a laugh. Quality on MAC boxes are **** compared to Snap On, i just couldn't justify the cost for the size of box i needed.

lansalot Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I always wondered how those (empty) tool chests could be so expensive. Snap-on or whatever. I'm still none-the-wiser. Anyone ? What's so great about them that makes them worth so much ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro_Al Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Me too. I was thinking for 25 grand you could get some pretty sweet tooling, make 2 cabinets, keep 1 and sell the other. Total outlay = 0. You end up with 25k of tools and a freakin hugemongous roller cab. Where's the catch??? Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madcowz Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Wasn't that long ago you could buy a house for £25K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddy Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hmmm buying a nice rollcab is definatly worth the outlay IMHO being able to see and pickup the tool you need straight away is such a pleasure. No way would i spend 25k on one tho! Snap on do a nice one called the 'mr big' fnarr fnarr which is basicly a workbench on wheels with drawers underneath, I think thats a good idea if yoiu have a large garage as you can bring your tools/work area with you. Snap ons is friggin expensive tho and i think you could build a better one for the money. Will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissvdh Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 i don't think £25k is quite right. I hope this link works... Snap On Stupidity check out pages 3/4. or print them off and stick them together. Our Snap On dealer left this flyer on our stores counter and was almost laughed out of the building. about £16k + vat he reckons for the one on pg3/4 "Mr Big" is in there too.
