So fantastic to see a tool review that actually looks at the construction of the products instead of just providing a meaningless surface level view. Thanks for this work!

I didn't know what a rivet nut was before this video but now I want them. Also when you mentioned what the price was 5 years ago I nearly cried, they're both around $500 now.

Me crying in 2022 because these are $500 now. Brutal.

I purchased a Yukon yesterday. Now I’m waiting for the store to revive it. I was holding my breath watching this video. When it was over my exhale was nothing short of a wind tunnel. Great review!

Damned glad I watched this video. Yukon it is...and I would not have guessed that prior to watching.

I got the Husky and so far I'm happy with it. It came with drawer liners in each draw, and has a built in power strip on the side, which I like. Maybe they updated it again since this video came out.

This is really interesting. Just got the Husky and they’ve now updated every issue you mention: includes drawer liners, screwed top, rib nuts, double drawer slide, etc. it also looks like the Yukon has upgraded a few components as well including now being equivalent in height to the Husky. At this point they really look almost identical. And as of right now (7/23) the price on both is just under $400 I’ve been loving the Husky so far but seems like both are great buys atm.

The Yukon, I'm installing it in my vintage '57 silver streak 32 ft travel trailer for kitchen counter/cabinet. Lots of room for stuff. Lower to the floor, not going to use the wheels. Black paint matches my appliance

I forwarded this to a buddy of mine who is debating on the Yukon or the Huskey, thanks very clear and well-delivered information!

Damn!!!...very good video and narrator was clear and descriptive of tool box ...made me decide to go with a Yukon...keep up the good work...Greetings from San Juan, TX

I don't care who sells what because it all comes down to the final finished product. There is a very distinct difference in attention to detail between both similar products. Yukon is the better constructed product where the greater flaws reside with the Husky. Great review, keep up the good job! Spokane Valley, WA.

I had that same exact Yukon box. It got me through my schooling and I to a professional mechanics job. But eventually I ran out of room and upgraded to a Mac box. But no regrets at all from the Yukon and highly recommend for decent budget box.

I picked up the husky today on sale, and it now has rivnuts drawer liners and a fixed top. The handle only attached to one side but it does have power strip and usb. And now double drawer slides on the big drawers.

This video did a much better job than HF advertising the Yukon.

This video made me a convert to your channel because you showed objectivity, critical thinking, and transparency - excellent job! Six months ago I purchased the 62" Husky workbench with adjustable top - that feature is what sold me given my limited shop space. It was my second tool cabinet, but clearly, I did not even know how to do my homework at the time (insert embarrassment here), but it was a huge improvement in quality over my first chest which was a 10-year-old Craftsman Pro. After viewing this, I went to your channel and watched the 72" rolling chest comparison of Husky vs. US General from Harbor Freight, which was an eye-opener for me. So I went out to my shop and was relieved that the 62" workbench had markedly better quality than either of the Husky's you reviewed! The biggest lesson - throw away blind brand loyalty, and DO YOUR HOMEWORK! Clearly, this is a rapidly moving marketplace - it's interesting that there is so much rapid change in the tool & shop storage space relative to many other markets. As an example, for some years I've only heard contempt about Harbor Freight from some people around me. For my birthday my lovely wife, not knowing anything other than it was a "tool place" bought me an Inside Track Club membership and that in turn forced me to get to know my local store, and learn a lot about the company and its tools. As I now know, we are seeing a long-term steady improvement in design and quality of Harbor Freight's products. I've bought several, and each time they have exceeded my expectations. At the same time, we're seeing some pretty poor product come out of other stalwart brands. Just like we watched with Japan over many decades, Chinese manufacturing is learning and continually improving. And manufacturers seem to be realizing that we Americans would like to see production that makes sense to be moved back on-shore. At least design, steel, forging, and final assembly and test. With so much changing, big-ticket items deserve objective research. And, in the case of Harbor Freight, that warranty is hard to beat!

Excellent video! I actually just purchased the Yukon this afternoon and then found this video. The title made me worried for a second that I may have made a bad purchase but I am pleasantly surprised. Thanks for the great info!

I see Husky added a few features in the current model that the Yukon had in this model; notably the duel tracks on the bottom drawer. They also added padding and outlets... I think the engineers watch the videos, which is cool.

I have a stainless steel Husky roll around tool cabinet that"s used as a kitchen prep station. It has great storage for pot, pans and food preparation utensils.

You did a very nice job going over all of the features of each tool box. Great job.

I recently purchased the Yukon and got everything moved into it. Very impressed with build quality. Great review.

thank you for the great information..i purchased the Yukon 46" today .the best thing I have purchased in a long time.

Very well done review. Accurate too from what I check out. This video is done right: straight to the point, facts comparison is concise, no non value added time wasting opinions. Very good job. Do more of reviews like this!

Wow. 2.5 years later the Yukon is only up to $329 right now at Harbor Freight but I'm still going to buy it when I can. Thanks for the video!

This is an amazing comparison video. Very well done and glad it popped up in my search.

Yukon for the win!! I'm a welder and have been using the Yukon over a year now and love it!!

Good review, unfortunately it's long outdated now, 5 yrs later. The 46" 9 drawer Husky they now sell has an attached top, drawer liners and double slides on the deep bottom drawer. Hopefully they've upgraded other aspects of it too.

Husky I thought would be victorous but i gotta go with the Yukon after seeing your review

Wow. Would have thought just the opposite. Thanks so very much for this great review! Just found a Husky on sale at my local Home Depot this evening for $548 vs. Harbor Freight @ $699. Will watch for great Black Friday sale :) These would be used for my sewing room &/or tools for garage.Thanks again!

Yukon. Just bought one before watching this. Now I'm even happier that I did buy the Yukon

Liked & Subbed! I got the Yukon for Christmas! I tried to buy the Husky as well but lucky for me they were sold out of the Husky! My plans are to buy six or seven for my wood shop. Looks like I’ll be going w/ the Yukon! Thanks for making this and other videos! Have A Super Week!.....Gus

I've had the Yukon for a while now. For home use, this is great. Just depends what your application is going to be.

I'm new to your channel and must say that you do some of the best product comparisons on KZfaq. Glad to have found you and to have subscribed.✌️

I own two of the Yukon boxes. One for home and one for work. No issues out of either one. Great box.

I really wish there was an updated review of the newer models. The husky is 24” deep now and that tips the scales.

I believe the Husky has gone up a in price to account for the improved quality. I recently bought the Yukon with a total of 30% discount. At Home Depot, I can often get a 10% discount for being a veteran (doesn't apply to wood and certain other items that have a very low margin.). Either way, I prefer to support Harbor Freight as they have made HUGE efforts to improve quality and service. I feel that they are becoming what Craftsman USED to be. They have stores all over, and their warranty/guarantee is as good as anyone's. We are fortunate to have HF. They've become the go-to for many people.

I'm glad I watched this! Thank you. Also love that you get right to the point.

I bought the Husky 52" box in November of 2016, the box came with drawer liners for all 18 drawers and had double slides on both deep drawers. The box purchased was on sale for $498, two of my fellow coworkers bought the same box from separate Home Depots and received entirely different results. I think Home Depot is purchasing boxes under the Husky logo from many different suppiers.

Great video. If I had to pick right here from my comfy recliner after seeing this video I would pick the Yukon. Harbor Freight boxes have generally got pretty good reviews from what I have seen. Perhaps not the "best of the best" but you arent paying that either. There are things at HF that ... well lets just say they arent even low range quality, but their tool chests seem to be pretty decent, not only for a home mechanic but even in a shop environment (starting out at least). Good informative video!

I’m currently debating between both of these and your video just convinced me to go with the Yukon. Thanks!

I've been using my husky box for 3 years the exact one and this video fully loaded not a single problem the one top stains very easily

Outstanding review and concise side-by-side comparison! Perfect! I wish more reviews were more like this. Also, very helpful in making decision on which to buy. I wish the Yukon were slightly taller, but everything else was a "no brainer," especially for those of us that live in hot, humid areas. Thank you!

Love ever one of these videos! Thanks for the great content!

R.T.Reviews: I bought my Husky about 10 years ago, and its been in several shops and now at home, in my garage. I'd buy it again , if needed. No problems with it .

Excellent video. Extremely helpful and made my decision easy. Thanks dude!

Wow thanks for the honest review i was thinkin of getting the huskey but changed my mine ima check out that yukon thanks again bro

2021 - The Yukon is still a great buy and this video helped me discover it. Thanks!

Because of this review my brother and I each bought the Yukon. Thanks for the great review of both cabinets.

good review! Thanks for your time on this. I guessed wrong on the quality but will for sure check out the yukon.

Before this video I had watched the Snap-On vs Harbor Freight torque wrench video, then this video, I just subbed to this channel!! Thank You!

real tool reviews still the best despite the bums out there causing problems

Top notch review. Glad I found it as I'm in the market for a box like this and have both stores available to me.

Great clear and informative video. I'll be getting the Yukon tomorrow.

Really great review! I was considering either one, but thanks to your side by side comparison, I may purchase the Harbor Freight model.

Excellent video!

You have a great voice for these comparisons

Great Video! I'm glad I found this video prior to purchasing. Great explanation and information. Thanks so much.

There are a lot of Harbor Freight "haters". You just have to decide what you buy items for. Is it a "consumable"?? This box is an exception to that principle. Nice video....

Hey first time Watcher I would like to say that I appreciate your review on the Husky and the Yukon it was very informative and detail I'm pretty sure I'm going to subscribe to your Channel

Just bought the Husky one here at Home Depot in Canada and it came with the drawer liners

Most helpful video, thank you! Just picked up the Yukon yesterday. Only change is that they no longer include the drawer liners. Paid $300+tax after a $40 off coupon. Just bolt the wheels on and fill her up!

I was HOPING for the Yukon to win, but wasn't sure. I'm glad they did and if I don't get a US General, the Yukon is probably the best bet. By the way, this review is VERY helpful. I like the fact that you showed all of the attachments and reinforcement on both boxes. That will help me know what to look for in whatever I buy.

Yes I was right Yukon... now that was a very useful informative and well put together video. Thanks.

Great, clear comparison. My son is looking at the Yukon to go in his detached garage. Seems he made the right choice.

Missed this video before pulling the trigger on the Yukon 9 Drawer this afternoon. I was a bit nervous to play the vid but now and throughly pleased with my selection. HF also had it on sale for $329 vs. $389 for the Husky. Great job on your detailed review. Thumbs up!!👍

~20 years with the cheapest ~8 drawer Harbor Freight tool box sold, works fantastic! Drawers slide with ease, never as issue.

Great review. I would definitely choose the Yukon due to the build quality.

Wow, thank you for the review, super helpful!

Excellent video. I was on the fence between these two boxes thinking that the Harbor Freight would probably be lower quality because of the stigma of that store. After this I'm 100% convinced and going to buy a Yukon this weekend!

Have you done a comparison on the us general vs yukon? I know they are both sold at Harbor Freight, but I am interested in the pros and cons of both. Great videos! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos :)

Husky mustve seen this. I got a Husky box as a gift this year and the current gen box versus this 3 year old box doesnt even compare anymore. You get the lazer cut drawer liners, secured wood top, better slides, double slides on bottom drawers and the integrated power strip with 2 USB ports.

Very good review, I’m in the process of getting a Yukon and this review made up my mind

Thanks for the great review. I’ve got the Yukon 46-inch 1-drawer (it’s the one with cabinet drawers below the drawer). I picked it up before the price increases for about $225. I didn’t install the wheels and it’s a very capable and sturdy lathe stand and cabinet to keep some of my wood finishes. I’m planning on getting the 9-drawer (now $350!!) as soon as they’re back in stock in Virginia. Appreciate the great content!

Been a while since your last video, is everything ok? I hope to see more vids soon!

I am ashamed that says assembled in the USA. I can't see how it's cheaper to spot weld instead of using the rivnuts, knowing they were trying to save on production cost. Having worked at Home Depot, in the receiving dept, I tried to think of the issues we had with all tool chest/boxes....damaged in transit because of how thin they are.

Thank you so much for the awesome reviews. You're helping me a lots as I am looking for a decent Tools organizer for my husband' Christmas gift ")

I purchased a 52" Huskey about 8 years ago and its still like new! Very well made and it looks it!

Just bought the Husky November 2017. I was concerned about it after watching this video, so I looked at all the problems mentioned in this video. Apparently Husky has changed since this video was made. Mine has two drawer tracks on the bottom drawers, it has the rivet type nuts, the wood top is secured, and the top has a brace that runs from front to back. Maybe Husky watched your video and upgraded their tool box?? Mine was also cheaper than the Yukon. Holiday special $199+ tax. Great video, by the way.

I bought a Husky 41 inch wide 18 deep and (roughly) 60 inches tall, about 5 weeks ago. It is not nearly as cheap as the one that you have shown and cost just under $500. It also came with drawer liners. This is an interesting video and im sure glad that i purchased my box before the cheap manufacturing took place.

So glad I watched this video before purchasing. Pleasantly surprised. Thanks for the review

great video. was a big help. after watching about 10 videos yours is the best

I bought the Husky toolbox about a month ago and it looks like the design has been updated. Its 37” tall, the wood top is bolted down, the bottom drawers have 2 slides, and the entire inside of the box has been painted. I didn’t check to see the bolt size or what kind of nuts it uses.

When I buy Harbor Freight tools, I buy with my eyes open. Home Depot is supposed to sell only quality stuff, but, well...

Wow. And, the ironic thing is that they're about to open a brand new Harbor Freight on the opposite side of the lot where the old Home Depot is. Looks like i'm going to be taking mama's truck to the grand opening. Good video, very informative. Just didn't see that one coming. Totally called it wrong. Thanks!

You went into all the right details. Thank you.

I watched this video 2 years ago and was on huskies side, now i’m in a position to buy a chest. Harbor freight is where my money is going, my opinion has changed quite a bit

I bought my Yukon as a floor model for $220 a year ago and I’m so glad I did after seeing this review. I’m going to get the same one for more tool storage space.

this video just made my mind to get the Yukon when I'm ready to purchase one! thanks

Thanks for the in depth review. Very informative. Really appreciate it.

Another amazing video! :D

Thanks a lot for this video i was about to get me the husky but after seeing this im gonna get me the Yukon from hf and save some money. 👍

Great video .... Thank you for sharing. Out of curiosity, I scrolled down a ways to see if respondents were of the same opinion as mine. They were.

I just bought the Yukon. Doing the assembling this evening. Will follow up on a review as well but definitely glad I watched your video. It was well done. Thank you!

"Which one is going to be the winner here" The DeWalt in the back there.

Nice video comparison! Let us know if you need any welding or plasma cutting equipment for your shop!

I bought a white Yukon. I'm still waiting for it to arrive as it was a special order and no local store had it in stock. That was about 2 weeks ago. Excellent review. A coworker of mine bought the Husky version (stainless steel version) and I'm looking forward to teasing him with my Yukon once I get it to work. Excellent review!

You're review was VERY helpful and I have made my decision. I just wanted to say Thank you for doing this side by side comparison. 🙂👍

As a Husky owner, and being generally satisfied with it for my use, I'm going to assume the Yukon is better quality. No way the husky would hold up long term in a shop. Granted I have the 44" Top and bottom husky. I have no complaints thus far. But if I could have gotten something much better for about the same price, that's disappointing.

DON'T DISMISS THE HUSKY! I decided I wanted to get the Yukon based on the information in this video. But HF doesn't stock them anymore around here. They are all special order saying it could take a month to get. I went to Lowes to look at the Craftsman box and was not impressed at all and it was more money. I went to go look at the husky and to my surprise, it was exactly like the Yukon in your video. Came with the draw liners, wheels are bolted into rib nuts, Bottom drawers have 4 slides each, not 2, all are soft close slides, wood top is bolted to the box, Inside was completely painted, even came with a built in outlet strip with USB ports. It was $30 more than HF, but they had them in stock and HF wanted to charge $100 shipping. So don't discount the husky anymore! I like mine a lot.

Wow ! Didnt expect that ! Id choose the Yukon . Great video
