Just got this exact box. I noticed that the plastic drawer lock sliders (whatever you call them) come out very easily (with the push of a little clip at the end on your right hand side). The drawers still stay close fairly well with the neodymium magnets at the back. Because of the drawer lock, I see no need for the lock sliders. Just my unput. Thanks for sharing

I have been using the same box since they came out, and love it. I also mounted the side tray on my box. If you put a magnet on the side of the tool box where the botton of the tray rests when folded down it will stay solid against the box. This way it won't flop around when moving the box. Making it quieter and safer since it won't hit anything. I just took apart one of the harbor freight magnet trays and use a magnet out of that.

Just recently I went through my box and liquidated all my unused and tools I have multiples of. It was soooo nice to reorganize and reset

I have bought multiple boxes from HF a good percentage come dented but the quality is really good for the $$. One of the first things I do it spray the bearing slides thoroughly with silicone or WD40 in all the surfaces and bearings too and bottom and then pull drawer out and in a couple times. That makes all the drawers operate waaaay easier…. They were stiff before I do it. In time they prob will Loosen up naturally but it’s nice to help right from the start

I have the exact same box, color and everything. One of the things I noticed is that on the drawers there’s a latch that slides left to open them. If you look under them on the right side there is a tab you can push in and then pull that plastic piece out, and it will function normally without having to slide that latch to the left. The drawers will still lock

You could add a 1/8" ( or thicker depending how tall the screws are) foam sheet and counter sink a few holes to level out the top opening to deal with the rivets while not losing substantial depth

Add foam like you used on the top of the last cart in the wells to keep tools from falling thru. A piece of mdf on the top socket area under the matt is a good way to level and allows mounting stuff to it.

I have the same full bank cart in red and love it. I even did the same thing with the side tray on mine. The only difference is all of my can holders and other attachments are magnetic so I didn't have to drill holes for those and they actually fit between the rubber bumpers. I to was also irritated with that lip in the back on the top, but it really hasn't been an issue so far. I put rubber gromets in the holes on the sides to make them a little more user friendly so things didn't fall through. I've had this cart for about 4 months and still tinker with it to get it the way that I want it, with that said I love it and glad that I have it. Great video boss, appreciate your time.

HF sells a 2 spray can/screwdriver magnetic holder, a smaller magnetic side tray/screwdriver holder, a magnetic latex-type glove box holder and a magnetic paper towel holder. They also sell a magnetic electrical outlet strip as well. All of these items are available in matching toolbox colors.

Just made the same switch. There are some things I miss about the old box, same as you, but overall the extra space is great. I combined two boxes into this one and have mine almost full now. Love the four way casters!

I added the side tray from 30 inch box too, but I used the 34” side handle as a template to mark the 4 new holes to drill in the shelf. That way I can bolt on the shelf in the factory holes on the other side of the box. Worked perfectly! Nice work on your box. I love mine!

I've been running one of those for a few months now and love it. I beat the shit out of it in a diesel shop and can't seem to break it.

All of us at the shop use the orilys foam magnet pads on tge inside of the lid . Then all your wrenchs are hanging on the lid in hands reach and youve got another drawer.. we also use the magnetic pads to hold our loose tools in place like drivers , ratchets, exstions . I tend to keep a hand full of exstions, picks, razors, on the inside of my lid

US General has a lot of magnetic attachments for the side of the box .... Cup holder, hook, power/air tool holder, power strip with metal housing and USB ports, paper towel holder, spray can/screwdriver holder. You can also buy and also foldable side trays for 4 drawer or 5 drawer carts.

I have the same one in black and love it. Only issue i have with mine is that all of my battery chargers for my electric tools take up way too much space. I love the idea for the use of rivnuts so i just might secure them all to the side of my cart

You could always add some rubber grommets to the larger holes if you're worried about smaller tools falling through.

I got the same box but in green about 6 months ago! So far so good! Best roller cart for the money!

Good review dude, thanks!

Nice job, I have been looking at this box and some planned mods if I go with it would be one maybe two 22"W x 36L" 3/4" plywood folding shelfs on each end with pull/push handles built in, swivel locks on two of the casters so they can be locked straight when needed, small HF vise that can be mounted when needed then stored out of sight, fold away ladder hooks to haul 4', 6' or 8' ladders and a small folding step stool stored under the folding shelf. I work at a hospital so keeping tools and parts secure and at the tool box is extremely important, my biggest concern is the weight of the box itself empty plus all I'll stuff in it as I'll be rolling this all over the building. I'm working out of a work supplied U.S.General 5 drawer box but it is a bit small and the flip up top and how it unlocks the drawers is a pain, I don't want to mod their box.

I like this for an easy one box solution!

Another idea to mounting your tray would have been take the handle off the other side, put it on the back of the tray, mark the holes, drill the tools in the tray, and then mount it on the side with the pre-drilled holes where you're not using the handle.

I bought the black one. I love it. The in store model had different cheaper wheels than the ones it came w which was weird ;). Really they could have saved $ using less metal on the sides by keeping things open like their other carts that are pass through. Although one benefit could be future mating surface for end boxes but really you'd still have that issue of getting things stuck. All these people add stuff on sides but I'd strongly suggest keeping things flat/minimal otherwise what's the point of the bumper guards? Still for $600 I give it 5 stars. My own personal way their are 4 holes on each side for the push bar. I matched the already drilled and screwed holes to the plate on the flip table top and drilled holes into that instead of the toolbox. Really I just wanted to make it appear like it came that way. I like what one user did which was to buy a cheap cutting board cut it to size and drill w.e size holes you needed for you breaker bars/ratchets extensions etc. To summarize I'd definitely recommend anyone to buy this box. $600 vs any of the other tool trucks carts. Good luck finding a full bank cart on sale for anything less than a grand.. W all of harbor freight deals and discounts you could prob find it for even less.

Slick box I’m getting one tomorrow, I have the smaller US General as well. Looking forward to some extra space

I have this box, like it but I don't like the plastic slide locks on the drawers, any ideas on how to get some magnets on the back of the drawers to keep them closed?

Great review ! I bought the green version for 499.00 at their most recent sale and will pick it up this weekend. I needed to know what kind of box or crate it was in or on so thanks for including that info.

Does “glueing” foam on top of the cart actually save the powder coat? Seems like adding adhesive and foam would encourage adhesion

I just bought the 34” cart a few months back. I love it.

Looks awesome man! I really like these new boxes and might sell my Yukon and US General cart and just get one of these.

Everything is only in the last drawer you check. Punch holes in the mat where bolts are. Mat will lay flat.

Add some kaizan foam / shadow tool box foam in the top of the pry bar/ratchet areas and cut desired size to hold ratchet and breaker bar from falling

To attach spray can tray to the 34 inch service cart, I put 2 rows magnet strips to the box side panel then attach the tray to them.

Nice upgrade man 👍

great video you should by a couple of these and stick it on the underside of your lid! it’s a total game changer Magnetic Tool Holder & Pad, Mechanic Tool Tray, Magnetic Parts Mat, Automotive Organizer for Screws, Bolts, Wrench and Socket, Super Strong Magnets Stay Vertical, Horizontal and Upside Down (Set of 1) no screws or bolts necessary and the magnet after mounted to the metal lid is so strong. but not till you mount it .

Nice vid.. Any idea where i can find a direct replacement cam/barrel lock? But keep the same lever latch/hook.. or find equivalent that i wont have to mod the door eye.

I just made a video. The 34" is going to come out in slate gray. The tray just came out and is mountable on the 5 drawer and the 34". USG changed the mounting plate. I expect that eventually all the different color side trays will also mount on 34" carts.

GREAT VID, THX

Have you thought about cutting a thin-ish access port at the bottom of the chamber for small things that fall in? You could then just use some tape/putty/hot glue to cover the sharp edge so you can reach in

Those holes on the side are actually designed for screwdrivers. Specifically, if you get the Quinn screwdriver set, they fit in those holes perfectly.

Nice review. You could put a layer or 2 of cardboard under the mat to level it up with those bolts

Great budget cart. I knew it would all fit cause you don't really have very many tools. Can def tell your a diy guy. I have the 44in top and bottom us gen. Boxes for home. I've been a dealership tech for 21 yrs. I use the snap on epiq series box and cart at work. Just a little advise, those are tool carts. Not boxes.

HF sells all those accessories and more. Including a matching power strip

I got the the purple full bank cart. I absolutely love it. Video is up if your interested in seeing it. I like that small cart. Might get one of those too.

I cut a small piece of Velcro and stick it to the corners of box to cut down the metal to metal bang noise when closed.

What socket holder are you using?

Those bolts in the top on that rear lip - you could probably just pull them out and dab a few spots of glue to hold it in place. Or just pull them out doubt it would affect anything

Very good idea, small tool box in the back, I'm thinking about a small toolbox, box only no drawers, for my air lines, thank you

Nice box. How is it holding up?

I have the green one was wondering if I could put a us general locker on it?

Good content dude

Harbor Freight sells a roughly 12" long, 2" deep magnetic storage tray (pn# 56446) that also comes in blue, or a magnetic 8" long, 3"deep dual spray can holder (pn# 56450) that comes in blue as well, that could work for adding side storage. Only about $15 each.

Question about stuff dropping in the sides.... If you remove the drawers, Can you get into that space? Or is there a metal partition in there?

Can you attach the smaller blue tool box to the big one

Crazy my 5 draw tray bolt right up to my fb cart .

Use both… boom! Win win

mighty toolbox mods

Good job

I've got that tool cart, and I'm running out of room. I was looking at the master tech cart as an upgrade, but then i saw their 56" rolling tool box that's the exact same price, and now I'm conflicted. It's the same price as this master tech cart, but it's got so much more expansion opportunities. I do like this tech cart though... i dunno!

Can't wait to get one of my own someday. Have to have a garage first though 😅

Hey thanks .

I thought US General makes magnetic can shelves for the sides of the box, color matched to each one?

My wife needs to know what kind of dog that is at 4:14 mark? Looks very similar to our "bugg" boston terrier/pug mix.

I took the can holder off my old box also but used magnets to hold it on my new box harbor freight sells them

You can just buy the flip out tray and put it on there. You just got a drill hole or two

Seems kind of odd to put anything in the top that you might actually use on a daily basis IF you are going to be using the top as a work surface? What socket organizers are those? Also, how do you like that Milwaukee M12 cordless ratchet? I really need to pick one up, but most of my battery tools are all Dewalt 20v

I think you could find magnetic tray with strong rare earth magnets.

This cart is almost an exact copy of my snap on 40” roll cart, from the rubber corner guards to the whole drawer slide locks, the pry bar/screwdriver holes, location of the power plug in the top, even the side handle is almost the same. Obviously this one is only 34” wide, where mine is 40” wide.

I would remove the powertools from the top drawer and keep all sockets up there. Powertools in the bottom.

Hello again Poor Man Mods Thank you for another Great Video. I was wondering, could you gain access from the top ? Again thank you

great review but it was the dog for me! Rubber grommets on the pry bar holes?

it is nice, but I wish they made shorter drawers on the top. basically all of them are pretty deep, which is a waste of space for screwdrivers/wrenches

The small side box fits on these with only a small mod making a slit in the lid to add extra storage without having to buy another box

I will buy this and mod it like you did.

They make the can trays with magnets..just FYI

But if the top is open can’t someone just come up and slide the lever to unlock the drawers

Sharp foxbody

How much for whole setup

The black accents are nice. harbor freight's new Gray color tool cart comes with black accents. they also make a kit where you can put your own black accents on and they make another kit with rubber for the corners like that one has. Please tell me you have an air compressor and you're only impact wrench isn't that corded thing

Modify? It's designed for both boxes

Take out those ugly bolts going into the rivnuts and get black allen drive cap bolts

👍👍👍

Ohhh shit! Is that Freddie from CJ pony parts??

I would put a wood top on that one instead of that ugly crappy mats.. very nice box

I want to upgrade. My cart works awesome. If it had one more drawer I probably wouldn't need too. But the thing that hurts me the most is not being able to transfer my sticker collection😍

I just bought this box in grey... am I the only 1 who hates that all 4 casters are swivel?

I prefer Snap on

ARE YOU SELLING THE OLD TOOLBOX?

Buy a used Mac , snap on , buy American made products, support America

Get the flag off the floor!

Get that flag off the wall, and off the floor. Fucking hell man. Can't display it with some respect then store it.

1 inch Grommets in those holes will stop you screw drivers a smaller breaker bar from falling in through the holes

You should def invest in some drawer organizers. Sloppy storage
