those are nice for the price. When I worked for that drill maker, thats what they supplied each of us with, very durable.

I like the HF I have at work. Gotta check them out. They have some really nice ones and some junk. Just like the tools they sell.
My buddy is a full-time mechanic. He has one he's used daily for years.
did you see where Harbor Freight has switched hand tool brands from Pittsburgh to Icon?
yeah, their boxes are very very nice.
They have the 4 drawer at $149 and with a 20% coupon not bad.

Just names. They have a bunch of 'brands' now. And I don't think you will find most them anywhere else.
Kind of leaning on this and re use the top box.
44 in. x 22 In. Double Bank Black Roller Cabinet
I have bought some "tool" type stuff there happy with what I use it for.
Metal bench is for the distribs, wooden for paint supplies and woodworking and the machinist chest just electrical tools. Work for me.

Not sure how many drawers, but a few of the guys at work have HF tool carts. All seem to like them...
got to watch the fine print. That 20 percent off coupon does not work with certain items and brands, US General is one of those. Every now and again, they'll slip a coupon in that will work on the stuff normally excluded, but its rare.
I'll let you know. It's 14 drawers but only bottom drawer is deep, will put grinders etc down there. I've got tools spread from hell to breakfast, time for a recall (except at shop), will throw everything on the floor.....YARD SALE....and get into drawers with some sort of organization.
I just looked a little further into the new catalogue I just got. They have a five drawer with more options on it, plus you pick the color for $199. Might be the winner.

Morning All. That's Nice. I need a new one. Been looking a HF. They have them in different colors.
I looked at the receipt since I had it cause I picked it up at HD, $798 list but showing $100 off so $700 ish.

Looks like a good one. Biggest complaint I have on some of there boxes is the drawer latches. Some are cheesy and annoying. That one says 'secure detents'. Which sounds like mine. Just a little resistance to keep it closed. Works good for me.
Dam you guys now thinking about getting one first have to get the patch panels for the right side over $500, hard to swallow but I need them.
nice. mine are all in my craftsman box but scattered everywhere, i need to organize it better
for the cuda?
You join the insiders clup usually some big discounts if you buy a lot from them. I used to get cut off wheels from them pretty often, went to the Lenox diamond and have not been there in months.
speaking of patch panels, I was looking online at some various rear wheel tub sources, good prices really, 100 bucks give or take for universals. Problem is, they all say they come disassembled and you have to roll them up, weld them and then weld them into the car. At that point, I'd be better off making my own if I have to go thru that much work
Yes Laysons only has them. Nice thick stuff though.

Correct, MOST of there coupons exclude tool storage. BUT, watch now with Memorial Day coming up. Box sales are usually around holidays. Mine was $100 off on a Labor Day sale.
Should be a fun morning here. Neighbor bought a bunch of trees, told me where he "thinks" the property line is. Here we go. Will show him satellite imagery my builder sent and a plat map that shows our property dimensions (he somehow has an old county one that doesn't show our front in feet). Anyhoo, we already have a deposit on 8 large trees, they just can't deliver or plant right now because of Covid, but he went ahead and bought these (20 trees at $49 each Costco) because "they were one sale". Boy have I heard that one before lol!
I did. I don't like their cut off wheels from HF, wear out too quick, I went with Lenox per your recommendation for cut of wheels and Diablo sawz-all blades, expensive but works great
