After 22 years in the trade I have been going through the motions...what's the point kind of thing but since i found your channel I have been hyped again. I have been buying tools again based of your recommendations, I just bought a work centre for my Epiq and started a reorganizing. Now I want a power drawer. Your costing me a fortune, Thanks? Seriously, thanks.
You mentioned the power bank gun holders were for a krl series box, I have the krl722 series. Wonder what the dimensions on the gun stand are and if they would fit my big drawer. Big thanks if you could let me know that!
it is a nice box i just dont see the point in spending 500 bucks on sumthing i can fab out for less that 40 bucks. ive put power in tons of my friend's boxes all for way less than this. with the exact same or even better look thats all. love your channel man meant no disrespect i just cant see the price as reasonable
Cmon man that drill you were using was pathetically slow, I wasnt worried about you drilling into your hand one bit with how you were using it lol ;P Those m12 fuels really kick ass!
I'm over in the UK. We don't get the power drawers or the power tops over here due to being 240v and our CE Standards not signing off on it. So we are already on the back foot! I've got around it by utilising one of the holes that are in the underneath of the toolbox and running the power lead up and securing it to the back of the box with millions of sticky pads and zip ties through them. This makes sure the power lead doesn't come away from the back of the box and catch on the drawers. It's a pretty clean install and means I don't have to cut into my 84". You're a brave man for cutting into yours!! You not thought of adding a touch of paint to the freshly cut edges to stop them from rusting!?
Some touch up paint on the edges would help keep the rust away. And a swivel coupler would help keep that air hose out of the way, makes easier to work with. Nice work.
I’ve got a KRL1023 and I love the power drawer... I just couldn’t bring myself to cut into a 15k$ box... You got balls Joel! I’ve been buying snappy tools for 20 years. Great product! Keep up the awesome videos/content ! Thank you!
For a DIY project that’s gonna pay dividends in saved time and steps not running to a battery bank 10-25 feet away for a fresh pack, you certainly had a reasonable incentive to do this mod. This is the more reasonable alternative than outright purchase of a new box, and you did an excellent job in getting it all square and cut. Forgive me for saying so, but your drawer inserts are divine!~
Very nice. Other brands just bolt into the box with only a couple holes. This is a good space saver. Do make sure you paint up the cut edges as others have said.
I installed a power draw in my 84" Epic Yesterday. I used your parts list and it went well. I must say that first cut is stressful. Its a matter of getting the courage to take a cut off wheel to your tool box. But as you say this is not a hard project. Just take your time and its fine. Its very simple metal work. Something I did that I did not see in your video (but I am sure you did and I may have missed) was to buy a bottle of color matched touch up paint from my Snap-on dealer to paint the exposed metal before finally assembly. I wanted to stop future rust and it makes the cuts look factory. I wish I could post a picture of how mine came out. Like you I am glad I did it. Thanks very much for making this video.
@@edwoods6392 It is in the link for this video. One thing I found is that the tool holder listed in the parts list is too tall. I had to cut the bottom off so it would fit as it should. But that was a simple fix.
Robert L I looked for the parts in the list. They are all back ordered. Snap on rep won’t sell them to me either. Keeps trying to get me to buy a $4000 hutch instead.
He can order them. I gave the list to my snapon dealer and he order them through the Rock and Roll cab truck. I had them shipped to my snapon dealer and paid for them in the truck. I don't see why he won't order them. Its money in his pocket. It did take 4 months to get the parts. Like everything for snapon tool boxes. I would try a different dealer or reach out to the Corporate Rocking Roll Cab truck yourself. Tell them to order them as replacement parts. It's not cheap like all things snapon.
I've had the same box in my possession for all of 7 hours, this is happening!, Box needs to be organized but that drawer be not used as I thought a few hours ago. Thanks for your work!
So a month ago you did a review on the new extended 3/8 drive 14.4v ratchet. I picked up the standard length one today. Man it is the shit! So happy I got it!
Nice job but is another way with no need of snapon power drawer parts. I done a few power drawer style mods on snapon and matco boxes, parts and material around $100 to $150 pending exactly what want in terms of sockets surge protection usb outlets etc You even don't need cut side of the drawer just hole in the back. Basically use likes of igus cable link track and make guide trough U piece from alloy or stainless, I used brushed alloy, either tig mounting points on or plan bend formed tabs at ends when doing template cut and brake forming it (can also buy guide troughs if want) Ones I done had cable exit back and top side as sent into a socket strip side mounted with usb ports as most want that feature added plus made easy hookup/hide cable exit point . Works as good as snappy one, only advantage with cutting side of drawer is better space usage but it minimal . I actually don't like power drawers as prefer batteries charging in open environment for better cooling so I have a charge shelf on end, adding fan with some sensor control could be an idea in warmer climates. security factor of all in drawer is good though and can see why guys as employees in a shop like it as save batteries going for a walk or an exchange lol. Sweet job and the 68 epic is a damn nice box .
Very clean job Joel. It looks factory. Some carbon fiber door mold would look nice covering the bare metal on the notch you cut on the back-left corner of your drawer. I see a nice side job business for you modifying tool boxes with power drawers.
I get having all snap on components but, you can easily fabricate or get a shop to fabricate that piece and buy a PAT tested powerbar with more outlets for much less money.
Hmm. Now you got me thinking. I have been trying to figure out a way to stick a powerbank cabinet onto my KRL7022, and this may be my option! If only my dealer could be bothered to come by more often than every 6 months.
I have had a 84” epiq triple bank flor 3 years. I just got my hutch today , stainless power top has always been on it but never secured . I just found out there’s holes if u take out the top drawer to secure the top. Then mount the hutch to the top. However I have a gloss black with the silver trim like that one . But this is my question , How do I go about getting the red and carbon fiber ? Is that just vinyl or tape? I have tons of finger nail scratches in my box and it drives me crazy! Thank you in advance love the videos !
So nice i think my epic is a 60 but im gonna look in to if the drawer size is the same i think it is i know the set up of drawrs is the same.as yours nice viseo i now have the re assurance i can do this seeing it been done. Thank you thank you
Very nice. I just had my guy order all the parts to do this. When will you be doing a how to on the ecko power lock system installation? I’ve got the same box in purple.
Just a thought but if you would be ok with loosing some width to the drawer could have you just bolted the piece u cut the side out for to the existing wall since the cord chain rides within it And just cut the back wall of the drawer and back of the toolbox?
You took the W on this one Joel! Very nice job on this risky job. Makes me want to do it in the future! I know I can get it done but the feeling of cutting into a expensive box will make me cringe haha
Damn I like that. I wonder if I could adapt that to the box I have... it's not a snap on but similar in size. I must find this out and possibly add to mine as well!!
Great job, it came out looking like factory installed but a Toolbox is for tool storage. Snap-On is nice but way over priced for the quality. You paid $15 k for that Epic roll cab but then had to spend more money to install a power draw. I sold my KR 555 & KR 550 Toolbox that was in New condition and bought a Husky HD rollcab with a butcher block top, a bottle opener, soft closing drawers (N/A on Epic) and a power strip w / USB to charge all my power tools for under a $1,000 and put money in my pocket from the Snap-On sale. Snap-On is an image that you're paying for, it's like driving down the road in a Rolls-Royce when you can get just as nice a ride from a Bentley...LOL !
( i got my slayer tickets in sacramento california 5/13/18)i love how snap on went old school and gave you flat head screws they could have given 10mm and made it easier on you great set up now do a tool box tour its been a while since the last one i dont remember if i told you iam changing my channel name to John's tool's and more i left my94silva1 so people would recognize me for now
Joel first I want to say awesome video second Last weekend Saturday I started working at Hyundai dealership as a lube tech but will be working my way up to a full blown tech
Nice job!!!i have a kmp1163 it has the power drawer and power tool organizer.which is cool and all,but the power drawer is in a separate drawer.so it feels like a wasted drawer,wish they could of fit it in one drawer.
Should make a cover plate for the outside. Use some velcro so u can take it on and off without any screws blocking the chain from moving. Just an idea, I dont like the exposed look or wires.
what do you mean it doesnt fit?????? good job man you are a better man then me i dont know if i could bring myself you cut on my box like that but it turned out great.. good job....
Hello Joel, Thank you for sharing your power drawer conversation with us. Looks very professionally done. Excellent job! Some people are bitching about you paying a little over $500 for all the right parts when you could have found someone to make your bent metal parts for you. But why. There just looking for a reason to heat on Snap-on. For the total cost of the parts from Snap-on, the knowledge that they will all fit & work properly & the convenience, why not buy them from Snap-on. Maybe if you were a metal fabricator then build it yourself. I know the slightly sick feeling when you start making that first cut. LOL Thanks for sharing your power drawer conversation with us. Very good video. Gregg (Critter) Muse
Love it man I will be doing the same hack on my krl 1033 at Home I already have power tool holder just going to add power supply with a power strip and plastic cable drag chain carrier, should be under $30 love your tho
Well in the end it's only a $10K+ tool-box right. Anyways, thanks for sharing, this is something I would not even attempt on a US General tool box. I would just not feel right doing it and I would prob mess it up.
i asked snap-on if they could build orange lockers with black door, no they cant do that either. later i mentioned i saw a video where someone added the power drawer, my rep says this voids the warranty. only reason i wont do it now.... i ended up buying a orange locker with a power drawer. now i need to vinyl wrap my locker door.
Im in the interesting DIY part of TH-cam again. Im not even a mechanic and dont have access too any such these toolboxes or even tools (but will be checking for what our Tool Library membership here costs again for my future DIY projects). Anyway great video very interresting. A bit more quality professional type of a job than I wouldve done but cool nonetheless
The Snap-On Tool Review Joel,..Im a 30 yr veteran Collision Tech...do yourself a favor,..file down the edges nice, and brush touch the exposed steel with EPOXY primer BEFORE you touch up with paint and it will last forever without rust. Paint on bare metal will eventually lift,flake,peel and moisture will also get through the paint...but NOT if you put EPOXY down first. Epoxy primer bonds to steel and aluminum and paint bonds to EPOXY primer. Just a tip for ya bro,...lots of money we have invested...definately want to protect it. Russ
I tried looking into the KRL part numbers and couldn’t find them. I’m almost sure that the part numbers are the same seeing that the KRL has the same depth dimensions. If you can find a parts breakdown on a KRL it’s totally possible.
Been in the automotive repair industry for 30 years and make it just fine without a power drawer tool box. No way would I trade my paid for 6S just to get a factory equipped power drawer. I like how you used your noggin to get what you wanted instead of just going into debt. A mechanic that couldn’t install the power drawer probably has chosen the wrong career. Not being mean...just honest.
After 22 years in the trade I have been going through the motions...what's the point kind of thing but since i found your channel I have been hyped again. I have been buying tools again based of your recommendations, I just bought a work centre for my Epiq and started a reorganizing. Now I want a power drawer. Your costing me a fortune, Thanks? Seriously, thanks.
Hahaha yeah thanks man I appreciate it.
How much extra was it? And was it worth the extra money or is it worth giving it a go yourself?
Excluding the power tool insert the cost for this retrofit is $536.55 USD ***ALL PART NUMBERS WORK FOR MASTER SERIES TOO!!***
The Snap-On Tool Review Great video, super jealous of this setup you have 👌 Watching from Wales, UK
this has to be a joke tho.. 536 bucks for a place to plug shit into.. cmon now
also.. where are the links to the products?
16 to 20k for a new box with it or 500 bucks to retrofit a box. How is that a joke? Link to a PDF is in the description where I said it would be.
You mentioned the power bank gun holders were for a krl series box, I have the krl722 series. Wonder what the dimensions on the gun stand are and if they would fit my big drawer. Big thanks if you could let me know that!

In 1989 I screwed a power strip inside a drawer. Cost $5 took 10 minutes including a smoke.
You could have struck big money if you beat them to the idea 😂
I did one in 1982.
Now it just needs some Milwaukee tools to make it worthwhile ;)
Bahaha nah I’m good.
HI Trevor
MotionAutoTv
Milwaukee? You should feel pretty stpid for saying that
Snap on likes Milwaukee , because they got sued by Milwaukee for stealing their battery technology.
Cmon man that drill you were using was pathetically slow, I wasnt worried about you drilling into your hand one bit with how you were using it lol ;P Those m12 fuels really kick ass!

“Zap Strap”. That’s a new one for me. Where I’m from we call that a “cat choker”
I've had the same box in my possession for all of 7 hours, this is happening!, Box needs to be organized but that drawer be not used as I thought a few hours ago. Thanks for your work!
The last pilot hole you drilled made me worried you were gonna drill into the palm of your hand lol. Good looking custom work.
Would this work on the 60" epic as well?
I was lucky, my snap on box came with a power drawer. I just got my box 3 weeks ago and I love it. Snap on classic.
Great vid. Gives the confidence to do it. One thing I sometimes do is cut an x in the square and bend the metal to cut away from the surface.
You sir have the absolute most gigantic balls I've ever seen on anyone. I have a box that's worth $500 and I'd be too afraid to cut it. I applaud you.
Haha yeah it’s uncomfortable to sit. Thanks man.
So a month ago you did a review on the new extended 3/8 drive 14.4v ratchet. I picked up the standard length one today. Man it is the shit! So happy I got it!
Nice job! Its always a bit nerve racking cutting into something nice that you can't go back on.
sure was
Brave man. I would have a really hard time cutting a hole in my epiq. Well done.
Looks bad ass dude! It takes a lot of balls to cut into something so beautiful like that, I wish this was possible to put in my KRL722 .
Shit. It’s not even my tool box and I’m having anxiety!!
Nice job but is another way with no need of snapon power drawer parts.

Sweet job and the 68 epic is a damn nice box .
Dude, you have some cool videos on your channel. But this one is, by far and away, your best to date! Fuck yes!!!!!!!
Thanks bro!
Awesome Dude! You just gave me the kick in the ass to add a power strip to my top box, a 54" Heritage.
Rock n Roll brother!!! That's awesome stuff Joel!🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thanks brother.
Gave a thumbs up after one second just because of Cemetery Gates. Watched the rest of the video and still give it a thumbs up.
Hahaha awesome bro!
Very clean job Joel. It looks factory. Some carbon fiber door mold would look nice covering the bare metal on the notch you cut on the back-left corner of your drawer. I see a nice side job business for you modifying tool boxes with power drawers.
Thanks man!
I did my own as well power drawer in my epiq as well but made it all myself
Surgery on the Epic. The operation was a success !! Excellent video, Joel.
I get having all snap on components but, you can easily fabricate or get a shop to fabricate that piece and buy a PAT tested powerbar with more outlets for much less money.

Interesting thought. I want ecko lock too. Maybe I’ll look into retrofitting my box. I’m glad I could help with the power drawer bro.
I’ve watched all of your videos and I just died watching you cut into that tool box looks great tho
I love this, it's like watching someone key there own lambo
greenlight19 more like adding a wide body. To each his own.
One of your best videos. IMO. Fun to watch. I want one in my Husky! LOL
Boy is in love with his tool box damn ???????
Just a thought but if you would be ok with loosing some width to the drawer could have you just bolted the piece u cut the side out for to the existing wall since the cord chain rides within it And just cut the back wall of the drawer and back of the toolbox?
Great job... but y didnt you hook the ground up in the back side of the stainless where the power chain screwed in?
Now you have yet another drawer with only 10 tools in it. 👍
Nice video. What's the part number for that magnet you got on the flashlight ? Not the one on the battery, the other one
You took the W on this one Joel! Very nice job on this risky job. Makes me want to do it in the future! I know I can get it done but the feeling of cutting into a expensive box will make me cringe haha
Haha thanks bro!
Jursaw your not ready for this then lol
IT's really just an expensive drawer. Chances of fucking up the rear cut are almost 0.
Everybody looked at me crazy cause i cut my top drawer on my classic 72 for a cd player but it works i love it and it jams
Damn I like that. I wonder if I could adapt that to the box I have... it's not a snap on but similar in size. I must find this out and possibly add to mine as well!!
Great job, it came out looking like factory installed but a Toolbox is for tool storage. Snap-On is nice but way over priced for the quality. You paid $15 k for that Epic roll cab but then had to spend more money to install a power draw. I sold my KR 555 & KR 550 Toolbox that was in New condition and bought a Husky HD rollcab with a butcher block top, a bottle opener, soft closing drawers (N/A on Epic) and a power strip w / USB to charge all my power tools for under a $1,000 and put money in my pocket from the Snap-On sale. Snap-On is an image that you're paying for, it's like driving down the road in a Rolls-Royce when you can get just as nice a ride from a Bentley...LOL !
Looks like you could do this with any SnapOn box. They have the same slots for the slides.
Nice,
8:08 "Hey Tyler, I had a warranty question..."
Bahahaha
( i got my slayer tickets in sacramento california 5/13/18)i love how snap on went old school and gave you flat head screws they could have given 10mm and made it easier on you great set up now do a tool box tour its been a while since the last one i dont remember if i told you iam changing my channel name to John's tool's and more i left my94silva1 so people would recognize me for now
Nice work man, probably a better tool for this than a cut off tool, but you did good bro!
Circular saw with a cutting wheel from an angle grinder
Can you do a review / demo on a ct725 14.4 1/4 drive cordless impact ?Keep up the good videos and thanks !
Joel first I want to say awesome video second Last weekend Saturday I started working at Hyundai dealership as a lube tech but will be working my way up to a full blown tech
Awesome brother. Thanks
Looks good but I couldn't cut up my box. I'll just keep my power strip 3m taped on top lol
Nice job!!!i have a kmp1163 it has the power drawer and power tool organizer.which is cool and all,but the power drawer is in a separate drawer.so it feels like a wasted drawer,wish they could of fit it in one drawer.
Very nice tool box...😍
Should make a cover plate for the outside. Use some velcro so u can take it on and off without any screws blocking the chain from moving. Just an idea, I dont like the exposed look or wires.
Good fucking job dude. Factory fresh looking. I cringed a bit on your first cut but knew you were more then capable! 5 thumbs up bud!
Great post and great job sir, Looks like a great update to a use box, my mind is thinking, thank for showing us all
Thanks and you’re welcome!
what do you mean it doesnt fit?????? good job man you are a better man then me i dont know if i could bring myself you cut on my box like that but it turned out great.. good job....
Looks like the trim didn't quite cover in two spots to me but I understand your denial.
Hello Joel,
Thank you for sharing your power drawer conversation with us. Looks very professionally done. Excellent job! Some people are bitching about you paying a little over $500 for all the right parts when you could have found someone to make your bent metal parts for you. But why. There just looking for a reason to heat on Snap-on. For the total cost of the parts from Snap-on, the knowledge that they will all fit & work properly & the convenience, why not buy them from Snap-on. Maybe if you were a metal fabricator then build it yourself. I know the slightly sick feeling when you start making that first cut. LOL Thanks for sharing your power drawer conversation with us. Very good video.
Gregg (Critter) Muse
Yeah....I just got a master series orange and black. $12000 no way am i doing this until its paid for 🤪
Love it man I will be doing the same hack on my krl 1033 at Home I already have power tool holder just going to add power supply with a power strip and plastic cable drag chain carrier, should be under $30 love your tho
Well in the end it's only a $10K+ tool-box right. Anyways, thanks for sharing, this is something I would not even attempt on a US General tool box. I would just not feel right doing it and I would prob mess it up.
I would have smoothed and painted the cut edges. Also the earth on the box side isn't earthling if that panel is painted
Do you think that you could do a video of you cleaning and organizing your tool box
So cutting a hole in the box, doesn't that void the lifetime warranty?
Honestly you nailed! Great work! Looks awesome.Enjoy!
Thanks bro.
Men!!!! I just GET A CALL AND I JUST WIN THE SNAP ON TRIPLE PLAY AND MONDAY I WILL GET MY TRAXXASS SNAP ON TRUCK!!!!
That’s bad ass! Would love to add your channels sticker to my new tool cart. Let me know if u got any laying around
Do you have a partsist?
I have a older kr1000 I want to convert.
Thank you
great job, looks great! Cuts were right on the money
Thanks man
i asked snap-on if they could build orange lockers with black door, no they cant do that either. later i mentioned i saw a video where someone added the power drawer, my rep says this voids the warranty. only reason i wont do it now.... i ended up buying a orange locker with a power drawer. now i need to vinyl wrap my locker door.
Great video . I’m In the uk? Are parts available for 220 volts ?
Im in the interesting DIY part of TH-cam again. Im not even a mechanic and dont have access too any such these toolboxes or even tools (but will be checking for what our Tool Library membership here costs again for my future DIY projects). Anyway great video very interresting. A bit more quality professional type of a job than I wouldve done but cool nonetheless
Would a plasma torch have made those cuts easier?
Great video Joel, i was wondering if it is possible to do on a KRL box as well as the Epiq?
Thanks! If your KRL is 30" deep than yes you can.
Unfortunately i only have the poverty spec 24"
So...whats that part number for the insert?
That was awesome. Can you provide the dimensions of that drawer?
How did you get a cut off wheel on that 90 degree grinder is there a adapter
Excellent video, awsome install man !!!! Looks great !!!!!
I sure hope you painted the raw stuff! Moisture and humidity will rust that fast!
Wonder what the deminsions of the drawer is?
Did you shed a tear when you cut the hole in it?
Hahaha no I was a bit nervous but worth it for sure.
Hell i would had to take a shot of whiskey before and after i cut it. Looks damn good though. Glad you made it work when they said it couldn’t be done
use a rivnut with threads inside for the ground strap
Why
All that metal you cut gonna rust like crazy 🤔
No it’s getting touched up and we are in a climate controlled shop so I’m fine.
as long as it doesnt get wet it shouldnt be too much of a problem with oxidation as much for quie a while.

Paint on bare metal will eventually lift,flake,peel and moisture will also get through the paint...but NOT if you put EPOXY down first. Epoxy primer bonds to steel and aluminum and paint bonds to EPOXY primer. Just a tip for ya bro,...lots of money we have invested...definately want to protect it. Russ
good to know, thanks bodymanruss518.
great video! nice job and I'm so jealous of that Epiq!
Looks awesome. i wonder if this mod would be possible on a KRL. i already have the power tool insert
I tried looking into the KRL part numbers and couldn’t find them. I’m almost sure that the part numbers are the same seeing that the KRL has the same depth dimensions. If you can find a parts breakdown on a KRL it’s totally possible.
Really nice.
Look Matco fully painted box inside n out. No rust!
Does Matco not paint the box on the inside?
cesar lopez yes they do

Been in the automotive repair industry for 30 years and make it just fine without a power drawer tool box. No way would I trade my paid for 6S just to get a factory equipped power drawer. I like how you used your noggin to get what you wanted instead of just going into debt.
A mechanic that couldn’t install the power drawer probably has chosen the wrong career. Not being mean...just honest.
If I ship you a drawer, what would you charge to convert it?
Plus parts of course
I have to give you credit. I think you have bigger balls then me to cut up your snap-on box. But it looks amazing.
Haha thanks man.
Will this work on a master series’s?
Does cutting a hole in any drawer on your tool box void the warranty or the trade in options?
