Well my oldest one I got in 1987. It was a straight plain old Craftsman with a lift out top box. I also got a full set of Craftsman wrenches and socket. It was interesting how I got it. My roommate in the USAF owed me $200 but couldn't come up with the cash to pay me back. But had a Sears credit card with like a $2000 limit on it. So he took me to Sears and let me buy $200 worth of stuff on the card. Otherwise I probably wouldn't have bought it for myself.

New snap on less than a year old I picked up for $1k. Also have a couple crapsman's I would like to roll off in a ditch. One is ball bearing junker that lives on the work truck and the other is a slide less waste of metal. Just also was given a decent old craftsman roll around bottom box.

I like the green snap on boxes.

One grand? Sign me up, I'll take three, please!
I hava a few Craftsmsn boxes. I bought them back in 1989/90 ish. About 5-6 years ago we moved and I put them and al. My tools into a garage for storage. Well some crackhead broke in and emptied all the draws of the tools but left the boxes. Maybe they were to heavy for his junky azz to carry. Since then I have been buying replacement tools here and there as I need them ( really pisses me off ) He got away with 12-15k worth of tools in all. Probably sold them for 100.00

I've got a pretty old set. Not sure how old but the snap on logo is different.
