He worked at an independent Porsche repair shop for many years in his younger days. He has a nice shop now with all built in boxes so he asked if I wanted the old Snap-On, otherwise he'd sell it. OF COURSE I wanted it, this thing is a family heirloom. I took it apart to oil all the tracks and cleaned the carpets in the drawers.
That bottom roll cabinet was, at the time the biggest Snap on box they made. Nicknamed "The Taco wagon", it was designed for the aviation industry. There was not many of those made, and most of the one's you see are really beat up.
