Holy smokes Nick! This was fantastic! Please do more that either compares brands, or just dives deep, very deep into tool design, build and function. Thanks!
Awesome comparison, great job! I love my snap on box just wish it was bigger. I believe i'm due for an upgrade. Please keep making videos, they're great.
I picked up a 430 roll cart in Dark Titanium and I love it, easy to roll around even loaded with tools. I will say though while I get the critique of a top drawer 6" tall is way to big and needs more then 1 set of slides, A taller top is very handy. While it does collect random stuff, that is also where a lot of battery chargers, spray cans and other taller quick use items go. If I want to just close the lid to lock up, the extra height is well worth it there.
Can you do a side by side comparason of a bluepoint service trolley vs a snap on, desperatly after a bluepoint but wanting to know if its worth spending the extra on a snap on. Thanks
Nick have you got a road box and can do a review on one as I've never seem one but interested in possibly perchesing one. No on we else has reviewed one and can't find a lot of info on one.
Thanks for the in-depth review. I see where my money go,s Please keep the videos coming. I wish snap tools were more reasonably priced. Your tool boxes are another level
I know this video is old but the blue box on on the snap on truck???? Is it for sale? Is it the the 9 drawer 5' tall x 40" similar to the tall boy by snap on krl777? If it's for sale reply I'll buy it
I had an heritage stack in electric ograne had it for 14 years. Brought it somewhere about 2004 and a single issue with it then I brought s 26" heritage roll cab in same colour no had no issues. But I've seen other techs buy the 40" and 55" heritage box's and had a lot of problems with the draw runners failing and drawers coming out and scratching the box's and dropping on the floor. I noticed that compared to mine snap on had changed the manufacturer of the runners sometime after 2010 and they don't seem as good. I'd like to know if this has need sorted as they was the only down side to the box.
In 20years as a snapon guy i have never seen a drawer just pull straight out. It physically can’t, unless forced. It can happen if the box is in a van/truck and full of tool and the box isn’t locked. The force of braking/cornering can mean the drawer comes out at speed and is forced past the stops. The roller ball slides haven’t changed in 20years, same part number
@@NICKTHETOOLUK just the runners looked different to the I had and the one I had didn't have China stamp on them like the ones the other lads brought. I know a lad that had a classic in a van and yeah he had some issues with the drawers snap on did replace them a number of times for him.
Pretty good comparison. But I didn’t hear anything about either price of the like-sized “entry level” models. And I can see the MAC being more.. being made in America 🇺🇸 with Canadian/Italian casters. Whereas that particular snap on box you showed is Chinesium.. & probably still not too much reflected in the price.. IF @ all. Again, great in-depth comparison.
Actually the Mac edge box lists for right about $2500 usd and the snap on heritage lists for about $4000 so there’s a big price difference between the two and it’s in macs favor.
Don't by an edge I have one first gen has the peg board on the side and the slides keep breaking and my top drawer the slides are pulling out the rivets regret and just bought a snap on epiq hoping not to have to buy another tool box for a long time like the Mac edge
Your right about snap on boxes. I own two 53 inch roll cabs and one 40 inch top and bottom. All Heritage boxes. I have them loaded with tools and I use the two 53 inch roll cabs with butcher block tops as work tables.
You did an OK job showing both boxes but you do have skin in the game. Coming from a Flag Truck you can make any tool or box you want the best.. Still a good video keep them coming..
Great honest review, I have two heritage boxes and they are great, the only difference I've found is the bolt holes for the handles on the Chinese one are metric and the American one are imperial. Awesome boxes!!
Well done! I own 6 different Brands Craftsman, Cornwell,trinity,Husky,Hart,Snapon toolboxes my snapon is the best quality of all of them and with stood lots of abuse. 👌
I own both of these boxes, but I dont havw the top for the Mac Box. Snap On box definitely more robust and all around. Paint on my Mac box is already peeling and the scuff really show on the matte finish. Only had it for 2 years. Also have seen the handles break on the Mac boxes alot.
I’ve been a HGV mechanic for 17 years now, that heritage snap on box is a excellent tool box & built very well, it will definitely out last the Mac select series. I know this because I work with guys that have both boxes. The wheels on the Mac are pushing up into the box frame all the drawers are sagging etc definitely not built for heavy diesel tools. Now I’m not saying Mac tools boxes are bad, definitely not the case, the tech 1000 series and up-words are built very well like tanks and I would recommend buying.
My dad has vintage Snap On stacked boxes and a KR1000 box still functioning as intended and tough as ever. I personally have some Craftsman griplatch boxes and a Mac cart that has taken a royal beating and is still as good as new and very sturdy that I get a lot of complements on. Hard to really say one brand is better than the other imo and each box has it's special purpose. I paid less than $1000 for the Mac cart and Craftsman boxes combined, but those prices were many years ago. My Mac cart might be my favorite box ever and I've run it through the mill. All the boxes my family owns have stood the test of time. Might not get as good quality boxes or prices from today's manufacturers though.
Mac’s took boxes were made in the Stanley plant in Georgetown Ohio, I’m a former distributor, they moved several years ago to Allentown PA now they make all Stanley tool storage from craftsman Mac proto etc. there with global components.
MAN O MAN I CANNOT BELIEVE SNAP ON IS HAVING BOXES MADE IN CHINA! I would be royally pissed if I got a Heritage box and it said Made in China on the tag... that's BS! Snap on is slowly starting to lose my interest...SMH... thank you for the video tho Nick I do appreciate it
Heritage boxes have always been made in china there literally the lowest level box and not that good it's not until you get to master series that there actually high end
@@Daniel-bk8ec no they used to be made in Canada I have one and it’s made in Canada on the stickers Theirs also some differences for. The Chiba made ones of today and the better Canadian made ones Mines over 10 years old
I agree.. it’s a bs.. especially for what you pay.. not worth it.. I preferred purchase a vintage one from 1980.. heavy duty still made in USA 100%.. does the job.. storage tools
Snap-on has been using the waste of space gig for years but tools have evolved it's all about the preference of your organization skills I am not a fan of all the extra drawers and the lock and roll the drawers rattle and shake and sound like a bucket of bolts. At the end of the day, a salesman will always make his product seem superior and I like Snap-on boxes but I live in Iowa and have owned every brand they all have strengths and weaknesses. It was a good and interesting video thank you!! Also, I've owned my mac toolbox for 20yrs now with zero issues it's been completely reliable I'd love to get an epic now though. Waterloo is out of business btw smh lol mac tools makes these boxes is Pennsylvania.
CP please make a video, if you haven't already, about Snap On making some of their boxes in China now... Man I'm so disappointed in this... I think the community needs to be made aware buddy what you think?
@@roylowery1329 Yep disappointed as well. I have seen some of the new Chinese made boxes already getting bubbling paint with rust underneath in damp workshops that don't have much heating.
Your comparing apples to oranges Nick that is macs entry-level box. Grow a set and compare the macsimiser to the snap on line up. Because snappys can't compete.
Not to mention dummy, he clearly says the mac box is an entry level box, and compared it to the SnapOn entry level box. Did you not watch the video? Apparently not even half way?
People that say they aren't worth the money, at the end of the day no one is forcing people to buy a snap on box, yet so many people still choose to because they like them
Just thought I'd comment again as today I swapped my 13mm flex head ratchet spanner, no questions or deep sighs, regarding when I last purchased from them( halfords) or "have I got a account" this the usual reply you get from snap on.
Snap really need to make a 40 inch road chest. You look at 90% of service vans in the uk they all run 40 inch roll cabs. Mines seen better days I’ve had to weld some bits
The Snap On box is clearly a better designed and built bit of kit but sweet jesus are they expensive! I've had a Facom Jet roll cab for many years which was a fraction of the price of a Snap On box and it has performed flawlessly. Maybe under the skin the Snap On is, again, much better built, but I honestly think the price is just too much.
@@mikethetoolman8776 tech series way more $ than a heritage box. When I bought my 55" classic 78 I was considering a tech series in close to the same size, tech cost a grand more.
@@kells77 we would order Tool's. He says it's on back order yet Snap-on online has it in stock. We would Cancel our orders. I waited 6 months for a 10mm to 19mm an 20 to 24mm Flank Drive Wrench sets. Nothing still on backorder so I cancelled
Snap On needs to address the drawer gap problem in their toolboxes.One youtube subscriber had this issue with his and the dealer he had sold it.He hated the drawer gap in it.Shows none online
There a lovley box… I was going to buy a 40 inch stack off the snap on man I deal with the price was €2900 so then he texted me with the figures and it was €22 a week for 260 weeks which ment the box was €5800 no way am I going to pay back almost €3000 interest it’s ridiculous and what is the finance percentage I’d say a lot of people have bought boxes not knowing that there was that much interest on them
The heritage used to also be made in Canada ( mine is Canadian ) the china ones are no where near as good Thinner metal Only one lock pin in the lid A few other corners cut Spot welds on the rear weak as hell If your getting a snap on box make sure it’s a Canadian built one
Oh you're not biased at all are ya mate? Stop trying to compare an economically made/priced box to a snapon. That's apples to oranges. Prove you're not biased and compare a Macsimizer HD v.s. an Epic.... Would love to see what you can come with to pick apart on that comparison 😆
These boxes are the same price in the UK, they are both entry level boxes. Yes I am biased, but facts are facts. There are now macimizers or tech boxes in my patch. We have a new Mac guy and he is pitching these waterloo boxes “as good as snapon” I just thought I would put the record straight
They both look like cheap Home Depot Husky boxs, idk why someone would waste money on the cheap snap on boxs or even a expensive Mac box, the Mac boxs look like those China boxs from Extreme tool boxs
u r showing a snapon compared to macs lowest line. u should compare the mac to a bluepoint to be fair. thats like me comparing my monster 140.000$ epic to the snapon ur showing. snap on did the same thing as mac, thats why their ratchets didnt say usa on them for years because they made the bodies here and used Chinese gears.
The placement of the lid hinges on the Snap On is crap, you can't put the toolbox against a wall and the comparison at 8:30 is just idiotic, you have the lid open or closed not just a little open!!!!
I own both Snap-on and Mac. My Mac boxes as sooooo much better quality than Snap-on, plus the boxes have a LIFETIME WARRANTY unlike snappy. Also Nick the Tool has banned me from commenting on his fb page as he doesn’t like the truth :( awwwwww Wonder how many more garages are going to tell you not to call any more after this video Nicky boy!!!!
Thanks for your comments IRON WHEELS, i’m glad you enjoyed it. My facebook business page is only for my customer, as you are not on my patch it’s not for you. Enjoy your investment, regards Nicky boy
Who told you snapon boxes don't have a lifetime warranty? From what I've seen they have the best warranty of any toolbox period. I watched them give a dude a brand new box because his 20 year old boxes powdercoat was starting to peel. There was an old guy in a shop I worked at that had a box that was built in the 80s. Just 2 years ago they replaced defective slides under warranty. That box is as old as me...

@@NICKTHETOOLUK hi couple off years back bought a brand new snap on 40" box off my local dealer all the spot welds around the bottom off the rollcab broke away Would never buy snap on again
@@lockeM140 WOW, in twenty 22 years of being a snapon dealer i have never seen 1 spot weld break, never mind multiple spot welds??? Do you have any photos ?
My heritage series tool box is absolutely Garbage! The roll cab is falling apart as the spot welds have failed. The sheet metal the casters sit on has collapsed in from the weight. The entire box leans to one side when pulled and because of that the drawer slides keep failing. I tried warranting it and it gets ignored. DON'T overpay for a tool box with a name on it, it means nothing these days. It's profits before anything.
@@NICKTHETOOLUK the box is 20 years old its similar to KRA4107FPBO but it has the old hard plastic casters. The hard plastic casters transfers every bump from the floor and the welds have failed. I used to work as an auto tech.
@@SLIDEWAYSLIDEWAY I know the box, they were made around 1985, 7 drawer so around 37 years old. With rockite hard casters. They didn’t last as well and the current construction design. The boxes have evolved over the years, they appear the same but have much larger caster plates and a reinforced chassis. They are also designed to carry a lot more weight and move faster over uneven floors. Thanks for your comments
@@NICKTHETOOLUK the box is actually 21 years old and was supposedly to have the Snap on life time warranty. There are more better and quality boxes with better value out there so Snap on is just a name and not worth the price of a new box.

I am a Mac guy through and through but as shown here entry level to entry level snappy builds a much higher quality box. Price reflex it but I feel MAC hurt themselves in the long run by eliminating the select line and coming out with the Junk edge box.

@@NICKTHETOOLUK well seeing as franchises go out of business a lot and you can handle warranties if not in good standing or get new tools and that the wields fail on 10k plus boxes. I'd say it has a lot to do with it.
@@ChickenPermissionOG i’ve never seen a weld break on a tool box in 22 years as a dealer, do you have any photos?

But i suppose we are all self-employed businesses, if you don’t put the effort in the business won’t succeed
@@ChickenPermissionOG just searched “snapon tools spot weld broken” on google, i just get promo videos for snapon spot welders? Can you attached a link to the many videos online as i can’t find 1?

I agree with you about that bottom drawer on the top box , it should have 2 tracks for the weight .
An absolute fantastic demonstration!!
If you want the best quality that will last invest in the best snap on tools !!!
Only the fact that nick the tool tells lies,
I picked up a 430 roll cart in Dark Titanium and I love it, easy to roll around even loaded with tools. I will say though while I get the critique of a top drawer 6" tall is way to big and needs more then 1 set of slides, A taller top is very handy. While it does collect random stuff, that is also where a lot of battery chargers, spray cans and other taller quick use items go. If I want to just close the lid to lock up, the extra height is well worth it there.

The heritage used to also be made in Canada ( mine is Canadian ) the china ones are no where near as good
Thinner metal
Only one lock pin in the lid
A few other corners cut
Spot welds on the rear weak as hell
If your getting a snap on box make sure it’s a Canadian built one
The china ones are only for the European market any snap on box you buy in the US is made in the US by snap on
@@jeffferryyyrippppp4629 that’s BS
@@kells77 You can watch a video of them building boxes in the US lol
@@kells77 US toolboxes are manufactured in Algonna, IA
You're reviewing the edge box.... It's the budget version Mac makes....
I know its you job to advertise snap on tools but as a retired hvg fitter I find halfords tools as good as snap on and mac tools
Start buy saying "im not saying anything is wrong with this Mac box"
Then spent 10 mins pulling it apart
Says the snapon man
I tried to give an honest comparison, yes I’m clearly biased as i am a snapon guy
That Mac is a Husky tool box painted red with Mac stickers
No it'd not
Oh you're not biased at all are ya mate?
Stop trying to compare an economically made/priced box to a snapon. That's apples to oranges. Prove you're not biased and compare a Macsimizer HD v.s. an Epic....
Would love to see what you can come with to pick apart on that comparison 😆
These boxes are the same price in the UK, they are both entry level boxes. Yes I am biased, but facts are facts. There are now macimizers or tech boxes in my patch. We have a new Mac guy and he is pitching these waterloo boxes “as good as snapon” I just thought I would put the record straight
They both look like cheap Home Depot Husky boxs, idk why someone would waste money on the cheap snap on boxs or even a expensive Mac box, the Mac boxs look like those China boxs from Extreme tool boxs
You’re comparing macs cheapest line of box compared to snap on. That’s not a fair comparison
I compared Mac’a entry level with snapons entry level box, in the UK they are priced very similar. How is it unfair?
@@NICKTHETOOLUK even snap on entry lvl is miles ahead of Mac. Take a look at a tech series and do the comparison
Someone has said it is honest, but it’s not
Why? Which bit is dishonest?
u r showing a snapon compared to macs lowest line. u should compare the mac to a bluepoint to be fair. thats like me comparing my monster 140.000$ epic to the snapon ur showing. snap on did the same thing as mac, thats why their ratchets didnt say usa on them for years because they made the bodies here and used Chinese gears.
The boxes are the pretty much same price in the UK. Blue point boxes are the same box but with a blue industrial paint finish
Why not like for like. This comparison is totally unfair. The weight of a wider will be heavier. If your doing comparison do the same.
These boxes are both entry level boxes. They are price very similar.
The placement of the lid hinges on the Snap On is crap, you can't put the toolbox against a wall and the comparison at 8:30 is just idiotic, you have the lid open or closed not just a little open!!!!
Snap on are made in China
Yes well done, i can see you watched the video till the end
After watching the whole video , I do not like that the boxes are made out of the country .
I own both Snap-on and Mac.
My Mac boxes as sooooo much better quality than Snap-on, plus the boxes have a LIFETIME WARRANTY unlike snappy.
Also Nick the Tool has banned me from commenting on his fb page as he doesn’t like the truth :( awwwwww
Wonder how many more garages are going to tell you not to call any more after this video Nicky boy!!!!
Thanks for your comments IRON WHEELS, i’m glad you enjoyed it. My facebook business page is only for my customer, as you are not on my patch it’s not for you. Enjoy your investment, regards Nicky boy
Who told you snapon boxes don't have a lifetime warranty? From what I've seen they have the best warranty of any toolbox period. I watched them give a dude a brand new box because his 20 year old boxes powdercoat was starting to peel.
There was an old guy in a shop I worked at that had a box that was built in the 80s. Just 2 years ago they replaced defective slides under warranty. That box is as old as me...
Snap-on and Mac tools Angie Marie Lipson the baby born January 30th 1973 sending you to Freightliner back around the back to the shop what kind of tool boxes that you use what
Freightliner Angie's here that box this tool and my convenient repair shops I think you need us as bad as Craftsman and timely delivered tool
Can you give the Central Bank the old banking routing numbers and account number trying to pick up that bank president the robbery going on over there at commerce with mercantile that's scary and like I said I not dead
Well. If'n you bloody run over and lookey my box(ratchet holder) you'll see what a real box is made of. NOOP. Made, not per week
Snap out of it Mac tools rule. Own nothing but Mac boxes. However you picked mac's worst. Snap on epic is crap.
Thanks for your comments Chris
Mac over snap on any day
Glad you enjoyed the video. It’s your choice. May i ask why you would choose the Mac box which is the same price?
@@NICKTHETOOLUK hi couple off years back bought a brand new snap on 40" box off my local dealer all the spot welds around the bottom off the rollcab broke away
Would never buy snap on again
@@lockeM140 WOW, in twenty 22 years of being a snapon dealer i have never seen 1 spot weld break, never mind multiple spot welds??? Do you have any photos ?
@@NICKTHETOOLUK sent it back got another new sent in different colour not happy then sold it straight away
My heritage series tool box is absolutely Garbage! The roll cab is falling apart as the spot welds have failed. The sheet metal the casters sit on has collapsed in from the weight. The entire box leans to one side when pulled and because of that the drawer slides keep failing. I tried warranting it and it gets ignored. DON'T overpay for a tool box with a name on it, it means nothing these days. It's profits before anything.
Thanks for you comments. Just wondered, how old is your box? Which size to you have and what trade are you in?
@@NICKTHETOOLUK the box is 20 years old its similar to KRA4107FPBO but it has the old hard plastic casters. The hard plastic casters transfers every bump from the floor and the welds have failed. I used to work as an auto tech.
@@SLIDEWAYSLIDEWAY I know the box, they were made around 1985, 7 drawer so around 37 years old. With rockite hard casters. They didn’t last as well and the current construction design. The boxes have evolved over the years, they appear the same but have much larger caster plates and a reinforced chassis. They are also designed to carry a lot more weight and move faster over uneven floors. Thanks for your comments
@@NICKTHETOOLUK the box is actually 21 years old and was supposedly to have the Snap on life time warranty. There are more better and quality boxes with better value out there so Snap on is just a name and not worth the price of a new box.
My 60th anniversary Tech 1000 is much better built than that edge.

What a total biased review snap box quality are junk!
Thanks George, glad you enjoyed the video
I am a Mac guy through and through but as shown here entry level to entry level snappy builds a much higher quality box. Price reflex it but I feel MAC hurt themselves in the long run by eliminating the select line and coming out with the Junk edge box.
Biased as hell lol
In what way. How would you have described it differently ?
Crazy overpriced
Way way overpriced

snap on treats their franchises like crap.
Thanks for your comments, just wondered what they have to do with tool storage ?
@@NICKTHETOOLUK well seeing as franchises go out of business a lot and you can handle warranties if not in good standing or get new tools and that the wields fail on 10k plus boxes. I'd say it has a lot to do with it.
@@ChickenPermissionOG i’ve never seen a weld break on a tool box in 22 years as a dealer, do you have any photos? As for dealers don’t last the guys who back on to my patch, 35years, 30 years, 10years, 28years. But i suppose we are all self-employed businesses, if you don’t put the effort in the business won’t succeed
@@NICKTHETOOLUK many videos online of wields failing because they didn't use enough heat.
@@ChickenPermissionOG just searched “snapon tools spot weld broken” on google, i just get promo videos for snapon spot welders? Can you attached a link to the many videos online as i can’t find 1? Its strange snapon have been making tool boxes for 100year, and according to you they still don’t seem to be able to create enough heat.
