Title: 70's Snap on tool box
Post by: johnsironsanctuary on May 29, 2012, 10:59:06 AM

I scored a 'Vintage' 70's Snapon roll around this week end. It is far less than pristine.  After spending several hours yesterday removing most of the 'barn fresh' look from the out side and drawers, I found that getting the drawers out is not as easy as a Craftsman. Snapon solved the massive worldwide tool drawer theft epidemic by making them difficult to get out. Can anyone tell me how it is done?

I don't know if it's kosher to link from the GJ here? I will PM it to you.

No problem with cross linking.

Thanks, Papaw. John can post the links if he likes. I didn't save my PM.

That model series probably had a little 1/8 screw with nut at the front of the slide, remove that.   Then with the drawer all the way out, it should lift off the rails, with a tang thru from the rails into the drawer side.  But there are two on each side, front and rear.
