Just my opinion on buying these sooner than later.
Harbor Freight US General tool boxes are the best bang for the buck.
Great boxes no matter your skill level or what you use them for.
My suggestion is to get them now while they are cost friendly because there are excellent prices for the quality that they are.

I couldnt agree more abiut the us general carts. I have the 5 drawer cart, got it when thwy were $170. The same stule cart from any of the big competitors are well within the $800+ range. And for a cart thats getting rolled around and beat up i couldnt justify the cost. Ive had the ug general cart for over 5 years at my job as my quick access move around storage (in addition to my snap-on main tool box) and i beat thw hell out if it. Still latches. Still works perfectly. And i dont mind drilling a hole to modify it with any kind of add-ons i wanna make.

Nice! I got anxious and bought a slate grey 6 drawer like the blue one for the home garage. 🤫 don’t tell my wife. Id love a box but 22” is a hard adjustment after working out of my matco with 25” . Not a HUGE deal but you can never have enough real estate when it comes to storage. I do want the matching slate grey series 3 tho with hutch. Would be a nice addition to the home garage. Congratulations on the purchase 😍

I have that same lefthand setup that you have, as well as some others. I have here and there some minor complaints, but one unfortunate larger one. Harbor Freight always seems to make their toox boxes with the thin drawers, which I have trouble using. It has meant that I have had to ungroup some of my tools just to try to fit the stuff in the drawers, and I have also ended up with unused shallow drawers, too. That is one, and the only area where Craftsman had them beat. They used to offer the basic boxes with varying drawer arrangements. I wish Harbor Freight did that. I see that you also bring this up...thanks.

I wish I'd gotten a smaller tool box said no one, ever. Back in the 1960s and 70s, job applicants might be turned away for having less than a big, expensive, name brand toolbox full of pricey tools. Not true today, so this is really good advice.

Ok Lou, your argument (in favor of buying now before the price goes up) is a very good point. You also happen to have the one in blue that I am considering. Since I can get $100 off with a Harbor Freight membership I think now is the time to go for it. I would hate to miss out on this price since I have seen most automotive tools, wood products, & car parts go up substantially in price. My wallet will be $500 lighter!

I have the blue and now the grey! I was able to get $175 off the grey, they randomly offer 75$ credit when you sign up for inside track club which is 35$ but its still money in your pocket. Also if you see lower prices within 30 Days they will refund the difference, at least mine here does.

What's your opinion quality of Husky toolbox/chests and the soft close drawers they have?
@MasterTechLou
@MasterTechLou Жыл бұрын
I spent many many hours wandering through home depot, menards, harbor frieght, lowes looking for my next box, I do like the soft close features, what I didnt like was the weight capacity of the drawers. Doesnt seem like enough for someone like myself. But if you dont overload the drawers, I can see those lasting a good long time. Soft close is a nice feature, not needed, but nice. Im more concerned about capacity and strength of the rails.

from my experience, harbor freight may have improved their quality but i have a tech 2 cart and the quality is shit.. i use it for a diag cart, works great for it.. but quality.. sucks!! flimsy .. but again for what i use it for .. it works.. you get what you pay for!! my main box is snap on, never had to replace anything on it.. quality.. i have a matco box like the blue cart you have in the video, matco is my 2nd option and ive had to replace the top drawer slides twice already.. for what its worth, im damn tempted to look at a us general version of it.. because i should have never traded my snap on version.. I commend you Lou, great video man.. and explanation of supply/demand and price.. makes a big difference.... btw im speaking as a professional technician.. and cant have shit breaking.. but it does happen!! and i dont knock anyone who gets other brands at all.. its a personal choice.. i keep editing this comment ... 3rd time now.. dude.. thats one thing people like us NEED TO KNOW.. tool value.. box value.. cut it in half .. its horrible!! lol Icon... snap on knock off... hehe

@@tylerhill6706 In case you didn’t see the lol, I meant the comment to be a joke. Still, the prices have gone up beyond what inflation would justify. I think it’s more of a supply and demand issue. When things are in higher demand, they go up in price because companies know they can charge more. Yes, I took an economics class in school, so I do know how it works. I think the Youkon is a better deal.

@@tylerhill6706 The reason I mentioned the Daytona jack is because Snap On actually tried to sue HF over that jack. If you follow enough KZfaq channels, you’ll find out that the Daytona jack is actually made in the same factory as the Snap On. As for tool boxes, I’m not sure which HF toolbox you’re referring to. I haven’t looked at their toolboxes in awhile. As for Icon, I think they’re a little overpriced. You can get Tekton or EpAuto from Amazon, and Tekton has a great warranty.
