As I mentioned a few posts above... the newer Husky stuff is better quality that this current offering. The newer stuff is heavier duty. Each drawer will be rated for 120 lbs, not just 100 lbs. The current boxes have 21 ga steel frames. The newer ones are 19 ga. frames.From what I've seen, the newer Husky boxes are just as nice as the Milwaukee boxes. |

There is an obvious difference in quality between the 2 makers of the exact same toolbox. My store had the crappier unit on display...but only 1 mixed in the pile of boxes. It is true that the older unit only has 1 drawer track slide on the bottom 2 big drawers. Newer has 2 each side, per big drawers on bottom.The quick way to tell is to just look at the boxes. The newer upgraded version is in a big box with top and bottom "hats" to the box. The crappier version is in a standard folded cardboard box, with no "hats" |

They easily handle medium duty projects... Fantastic boxes for the price..
Don't be discouraged by that one guy that will chime in saying, "as an airplane mechanic rolling $25,000.00 worth of tools on a tarmac, im not trusting a $200 box... A $4,000 Beta tool cart is the way to go" end of quote..
I'll try to attach some pictures tonight.. I have one loaded down with pneumatic tools in every drawer..very stable and handles the excessive weight without any issues..... the others are miscellaneous (dedicated gun work station, hobby equipment, cordless tools, etc. etc.) Could not be happier with quality of build and price..
The top on the Husky looks nicer that is for sure. My father has two of them lined up next to each other with a pegboard in the rear.. looks really clean with that setup.
If you are just a normal home user the husky will be fine for you. I have my HF unit packed with LOTS of tools.. I wrench quite often on my motorcycles/cars and do repairs for friends so the unit gets a lot of use.
Husky 46" weighs ~200lb the HF 44" model weighs about 275lb

According to the specs, they do.
the red harborfreight are better, but this box is alright.
Trying to decide if I should grab it or if this can wait for another time?
