FWIW, since a lot of people are bringing up the Harbor Freight cabinets, I actually returned one of them for something else, and have a feeling I'd keep this Husky over it as well.
While the U.S. General series 1 was constructed pretty well, the drawers were fairly straight and there was almost no cosmetic damage on my particular cabinet, the slides hold back an otherwise solid box.
What Harbor Freight fails to list in the specs on their website is the slides are rated for 59 pounds. 80 pounds (total) on the drawers with double slides. You don't find that out until you get it home and open the manual, and I'm surprised it's not mentioned more in the reviews. That's approaching Stanley Wal-Mart quality level slides.
The sheet metal is a bit thicker than your average big box store tool cabinet sure, but in the end does that really matter? All it does is add needless weight in my opinion. The goal is to store/organize your tools, not beat your box with a sledgehammer.
I'd much rather have a 21 ga box with 100-200# rated slides than a 19 ga with shitty 59# slides. That is afterall where the actual functionality of a toolbox lies.
While the higher count of shallow height drawers was a plus with the USG for me personally, since the majority of my tools are wrenches, sockets, etc., that's largely negated by the extra depth of this Husky.
Factor in the $100 price difference, the workbench top that can be removed and would probably sell for $50 on its own, and it's just a no brainer for me. The USG ends up being just a heavy cumbersome shell with cheap internals.
Also, not that it's really important, but the smell of that rubber mat on the USG just never went away, even after a month of airing out. That was a bit annoying.
That's just my 2 cents on the Harbor Freight cabinets, you're paying a premium in all the wrong areas if you ask me. I'm not saying run out and replace yours if you have one, just that I think you get more for your dollar with most of the alternatives.
That review is for a different box. Irregardless, it pretty much goes without saying that an item which costs 40% more than another should damn well be a better product.
Been waiting for the HF USG chests for a while and it looks like the new ones are deeper as well. I also like that the HF ones have 2 extra drawer levels and offset widths. Comparing this Husky with the Gen 2 HF you're looking at 50% savings.
I'll have to stop by the store and check these out.
pretty decent tool chest for the price, reminds me of the sears fiasco coupon deal I stumbled upon. It was sign up for the mechanic school coupon and I was able to pick up the Craftsman 52" 10-Drawer Heavy-Duty Rolling Cart at $89, ended up with 7 total and gave them out as gifts to family
Does anyone know if I can mount a vice to this? Can I drill down through the wood top and fasten a nut to the bolt from the bottom, i.e. inside the drawer?
Thanks

For light duty work I guess you could. Anything strenuous id mount it into something sturdier.
i have the 18" one which was on sale last year. i only paid $179 with free shipping if i recall. bought 5, kept one for myself and flipped the rest. overall a nice toolbox. the full length top draw is nice. the middle draws don't have the most height, but the bottom drawers are extra deep. so it all depends on what ur storage needs are. i can see how the larger 24" hay be a bit much size wise. overall very happy with the toolbox for what i paid for it.
I had been watching that one for months, waiting for a price drop. It looks like it's not on sale this go around, it has dropped to $199 in the past. So I'm gonna jump on this one.
Thanks! Trying to decide now if it's worth hauling it back to get the one sale with power strip and $50 cheaper.

i think its worth it. otherwise you'll be sleeping in anyway, wake up and abit of excercise and 1 hour and get back 50$ . thats a tank of gas, or dinner date with wife.
now the question is, so pick it up or have it delivered?
shizz is 220lbs. and i only have an rx350
You might be better off having it delivered. These are already put together at my store. When I bought mine (non power strip version) a couple days ago it was still in a box so it was easier to load.

Will definitely be returning the one I bought. Just realized that the one on sale has more depth.
