70's Snap on tool box
« 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?

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.
