To my little friend:grin:

Just got back from the city. I think this is the last one left in the area. What a pita! I went to about 6 supply stores and finally found one that's just the right size.

Cool, just don't forget where you put the keys.

Funny you should mention that. I got home, opened the box to get the keys out, and there was only 1.:mad:

The company I bought it from is sending out another key for me in a few days. I called Knaack and they won't sell me a key. I have to go through a dealer. A set of 4 keys costs $50.00. I went ahead and ordered them so I'll have plenty of spares.

Well these are a lot nicer than the ones I remember from the early 80's. They actually have struts in them now to assist in lifting the heavy top, very cool:2thumbsup: I also found that it has knockouts in them so you can run power into it at night and keep batteries charging or maybe run a lightbulb to keep things from freezing overnight.

There's nothing quite like a KnacK box. I just got the newer version of my old box. 30x48x36 deep. They went to one lock that secures a 3 point locking mechanism, instead of the 2 lock, two point system.

:surrender: Screw the tools, how the hell you going to move it empty? :laugh3:

Makes my back hurt just thinking about it. :idea: I guess that's what laborers are for.

An engine hoist is how my millwright buddy lifts his.
I've also used a come-along to drag them into a trailer.
My mechanic had a flat bed tow truck move his boxes last time he changed jobs.
How to get them off at a home construction job? Sling and a Bobcat?
