Would anyone with a snap on box wish they would have tried out an icon box?

If I’m paying $31k for anything with wheels I expect it to go from 0-60 in less than 8 seconds

If icon offered the same colors as US general I don’t see why anyone would even want a snap on at this point

I’ve had my ICON 73” with hutch now for a couple of months. As an advanced home wrencher, I couldn’t be happier. 20% off and 36 mo. zero interest with their credit. As a hack, I put an LED light strip in the groove routed on the underside front lip of the stainless steel top. It lights up the drawers like I’ve seen on some SO boxes. And yeah, that hutch is heavy.

if a SO truck came by and you told the guy you had $7K to spend, he'd either leave or try to sell you a three-piece screwdriver set.

You can buy 5x the amount of ICON tool boxes for less than one Snap-on Mr. Big tool box, so it's definitely a win.

Comparing $31k for Snap On toolboxes or $7K for Icon toolboxes and $24k room for tools is a real no brainer. I'm sure Snap-On is brilliant, and super well made, but I'd rather just have more, better tools than nicer toolchests.

I watched this with my wife.... she laughed a lot right along with me. I bought a 73 box and hutch over the weekend. I wanted a blue one, wife "preferred" I get the black one because it will be in the garage and she wanted it to match her Jeep. SO, I got black.

I bought the model just below Icon (US General) after examining them side-by-side several times at the HF store. I was a pro with all Snap-on decades ago, & IMO the US General 72" box is the best bang for the buck in tool boxes anywhere. TIP: when unloading the box with the ramp, have help or build simple rails for the ramp. If the box slips off the ramp, you could ruin your new purchase.
