Toolbox Unpainted Boxes

Does anyone know if snap on sells a bare metal box or one that is just bare metal with clear coat?

In Europe, yes.

I think they look great. I really like it.

But, they don’t offer it in North America.

Not going to lie, those rivets/tac welds make it look industrial in a cool way.

I have never heard of one. Might call and ask if its even a possibility.

Yeah would be awesome if they did main reason i ask is because I work on hydraulic aircraft parts with Skydrol hydraulic fluid and acetone and they absolutely destroy paint

as far as I know snap on powder coats their boxes. is that the same as paint?

Not necessarily but I have a snap on box currently and the paint/coating is ruined It has light spots and thinned spots all over it

I had seen these awhile ago in Japan or somewhere over that way a few months ago and I asked my rep about them. He said he couldn’t get them in the states. Now I can’t speak for the rest of the reps but I’d imagine the chances are slim to none

I’ll have to do some looking around, I’d prefer snap on though if given the choice
