LOL. Good one - very funny, but I think it's not big enough for what you girls take with you. Have you seen their big tolley boxes ?

Could I nominate myself for receiving the surplus snap on tools!! (little gold digger that I am)

I do remember snap on making a very nice 'vibrating torque wrench', possibly aimed at the female market??

Now that's just plain showing-off, Wolfzero! (Am feeling just a little bit inadequate now... ). It's a good job the company's not called Strap-On, eh...

pottsy i bought that box 18yrs ago it was a special edition with those bike racing pictures on it, it cost a small fortune and that was with no tools in it either
its only used for personal use these days but its such a good bit of kit i don't think i'll ever get rid of it plus its so heavy when i lock it there is piece of mind that the tools inside are safe

Nope. STILL showing off.

You simply must work harder at humility...

I think the ONLY thing that can salvage your reputation, is donating the box to a good cause.

The XT Girls can do with a big box for our other bits... hair dryer, straighteners etc.

Is it weather proof, cos I will have to store it outside in the garden - what with not having any space in the house with all the bike engines on the floors, tables, sofas, fridge...

didn't mean to show off, at over £1700 without any tools in it 18yrs ago i will not be donating it to anybody especially if they are gonna leave it outside
on the plus side your house sounds like mine so you do get brownie points for that

Doesn't Snap On sell a Roof option, so that tool shed can be placed outside ?

If you place it inside, it will fill your workshop completely

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
