🧰 Let's talk poverty tool boxes/tool chests

[Yaj Yak]

It just has more/longer drawers, so more rails/bearings/hardware, I wouldn't say more quality.

Bottom 2 drawers in the cheaper one each support 100lbs also, not sure how you'd put 100+ in any drawers above that to be honest.

I don't think its worth the extra $130 IMO.

2 more sets of slides/bearings aren't going to account for fifty lbs... same amount of sheet metal because they are similar in overall size.

and it's not that you'd need to put 100lbs into the smaller drawers, it's that they are built to do it.

drawers are deeper as well (So the slides are longer), I REALLY think its all built the same to be honest.

 

[EmersonHart13]

Yeah it is all built the same in China that is for sure.

and its unfortunate but it is what it is

Or their Marketing department just didn't care and figured no one would try

 

[EmersonHart13]

LOL

PS, if you get the top chest for any of these I don't recommend lifting it on by yourself.

I think my back still hurts from that....

Drawers can support up to 100 lb. each

Drawers can support up to 50 lb. each (100 lb. for bottom 2)

Hey KJ, nice BOX

 

[Chester Copperpot]

I'm talkin' like these:

Harbor Freight

I have this one. Solid as fuck. I've had it.... 2? 3? years now? Paint still fresh, drawers are fine and the rollers/casters are good.

do 20% HF coup's work on the US general boxes? i wish there was a 50+ in wide one

 

[EmersonHart13]

They do not
I have had mine since 2010

 

[Chester Copperpot]

I believe so. I remember getting mine stupid cheap because I used a coupon while it was on sale.

Or I'm wrong.

It excludes tool chests, but they do have tool chest coupons from time to time.

That being said some people have reported being able to get it to work

 

[Yaj Yak]

750 for the 56" vs 400 for the 44" ?

weird.

 

[EmersonHart13]

They are more than just bigger, they are also much nicer.

But not nice enough for me to spend the extra coin

I have the Craftsman 42" combo in my home garage. It's perfect for my purposes.

I really like the tops on that style box. HD has ones by Milwaukee and Dewalt that look similar that I always ogle on my way out

I've actually been thinking about upgrading to one of those big ass chests. Running out of room.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

I was going to post that Craftsman one above, but at the price I figured it would be laughed at since we were in the $300 - $400 range initially. But now at $700 for boxes... That one above and this one have the shocks for "soft close" on the tops.

[EmersonHart13]

I probably have somewhere south of 1k into mine. If you want space, you gotta pay!

 

[Yaj Yak]

Sears.com
