In this video, I'm doing a side-by-side comparison of the HUSKY and YUKON mobile work Bench. Who will come out on top? Watch and find out! As I pick apart both the Home Depot and Harbor Freight flag ship of tool storage in this video.
UPDATE
I made this video in November 2019, the Husky model in the video, the drawers are rated at 100 lbs. each. The current model that Home Depot sells, the bottom drawers are 200 lbs each while the tops drawers are 100 lbs each.
Additionally, because of inflation and the current market, the price does not reflect the price in the video.

Thanks for taking the time for this comparison. It looks like Husky upped their game. Now my son and wife knows what to get me for father's day!

Thank you so much for this detailed and thorough comparison. Your video helped me decide on the Yukon as a kitchen island. I'm on my way to Harbor Freight to use a coupon so I'll pay $377 + tax for the 46" Yukon. Thank you again!

I went to the Harbor Freight with that 25% coupon clipped, thinking it was a deal of the year. During the checkout, they told me the 25% discount coupon does not apply with the Yukon Work Bench and I walked away feeling cheated. I'm glad that I didn't get one. After watching this video, I should get the Husky instead, paying full price. Great review, thanks.

I just got the Yokon for its smaller size, and smaller price. Going forward the $100 more for Husky will be well worth it! One thing I noticed about both is that top drawer needs a strong pull to get it open.

The Yukon is on sale this Memorial Day for 315 vs (with military discount) the Husky for 404. That’s a pretty sizable difference between the two

I really appreciate this review! thank you for going so much more in-depth that the other reviews I've seen. You sold me! A note about these two tool chests: CA Prop 65 requires companies to tell customers when they will be exposed to hazardous chemicals while using a product, and Harbor Freight says the Yukon can expose users to lead and a carcinogen called Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP). It is possible that both chests present the same exposure and Yukon is being more honest about it, but there's no way for a lay-person to know. Anyway, thanks for the review! I found it super helpful! You've got a new subscriber.

I've had an older version of that Husky work bench (no power cable) and it has served me well for 10+ years now. It has a developed an issue where drawers on the right side will now only open half-way. Before you start thinking it is a Husky defect, please understand that after a move about five years ago I ended up urgently needing some of my tools as soon as the moving company unloaded at our new home and I could not find the keys to unlock the box. All I had on hand was a large flat-head screwdriver and a hammer, which I then used to beat the lock mechanism in so that I could get the lock bars to release and gain access to my tools. Props to Husky for the lock mechanism, for it was actually stronger than I expected and took some effort to break it. I would absolutely buy another Huskey again. One of the best Christmas gifts my wife ever bought me!

The Husky is made so much better they improved it over the years. I went in recently to look at both of them. I opened the top drawer on the Yukon, it shook all over the place. I opened the top drawer on the Husky, It felt nice and solid. Plus the Husky comes with the integrated power strip and it's also 6 in deeper so it's a much better buy

@MrSloika Жыл бұрын

I had no idea that the the Yukon used riv-nuts to attach the casters. Riv-nuts will not hold up over time if you actually move the box around. That said, neither box is intended for working mechanics. These boxes are both light-duty homeowner type boxes. The duel-bank US General from Harbor freight is more a pro-sumer type box, the kind of thing that will stand up very well for hobbyists and hardcore DIYers. The HF Icon boxes are actual mechanic quality boxes.

You got a great deal on the Husky (actually on both)! The Husky is now $450 and the Yukon on sale is $370 this week. Inflation, I guess... I either pony up the current cost, or wait and see if it goes back down. Nice review, thanks. Will probably have to go Husky, especially if and when it goes on sale.

@williamhorn8701 2 жыл бұрын

Not sure where you got your information on the drawer weight capacity, But you're wrong about the Husky the bottom drawers are the same as the Harbor Freight at 200 lbs. Note the 4 drawer slides per drawer all of them are rated at 50 lbs each. They both have 4 of them for the bottom drawers.

@Oxman_Garage Жыл бұрын

Hi William, thank you for your reply. At the time I made this video was November 2019 the information on the Home Depot website stated "100 lbs each drawer." If you look at the description on the current 46" mobile workbench you are correct, each slide is rated at 100 lbs each slide. I will update that info in my description for newer Husky models. Thank you.
