I bought one of the General 54" series 2 roll aways couple years ago for primarily for storing raw material in it for my shop. The three lower drawers were tested to their limits on weight carrying capacity. Had to line the bottoms of the drawers with 1 x 12 lumber to keep the bottom from sagging. With all of the weight in the lower drawers, the cabinet started to buckle at the bottom between the long and short drawers. It's now setting on a stack of 4 x 4's to keep it from totally buckling into a disaster. The loaded down drawers are opened slowly so the ball bearing slides don't tear up. Yes, they are lubricated with some light grease. Overall, I'm quite satisfied with the cabinet. Thanks for posting the review. May have to buy a gen 3 in the future.

I grabbed the green Series 2 72' US General roller cabinet at my local Harbor Freight store on clearance two weeks ago. It had the clearance price of $1,299, but mine was the last one display with a few scratches and missing the tab drawer labels so the manager gave me an additional 10 percent off. THEN since I did not have a Harbor Freight credit card, I applied for the card, got approved, and got ANOTHER 10 percent off of the whole purchase I made including the roller cabinet(I bought a bunch of drawer organizers like the socket trays). I am VERY happy with this. Since the Series 2 and Series 3 are compatible, I plan to buy the green hutch and the side cabinets when they become available. This Series 2 consolidated three smaller triple stacked Craftsman tool carts. My primary tool carts are now this Series 2 72", a stacked gold series Craftsman, a blue collector edition Kobalt roller cabinet, and a Kobalt roller cart with 1/4" and 3/8" socket/driver set loaded drawer.

Craftsman is back to making the made in USA red boxes we all know for so long. They have the ball bearing sliders and the drwawers snap into place. Takes a little effort to break then free and then those ball bearing sliders go to work. Smooth as ice even after 30 years! Ive had mine since about 1998 or so. Other than that the 5 inch caster wheels are only held with some rivets and i wouldnt want to overload the box. I still love it. They are not as large as these boxes you show here. My drawers are 22 inch by 16 inch. It works for me. I have limited space. Again, its a craftsman box and its not gonna be what you want for a service garage and every day use but for a DIY guy its perfect!

I own the 72” series2, a year ago a painted all the trim black. I took it all the trim off and painted it. It looks awesome and I like the drawer configuration in my box anyways.

@bpsdetailing8822 Жыл бұрын

Also I think if you have a lot of tools even two of the 34” full service boxes would make more sense than one of the 72” boxes. The 34’s are on sale for $499 so even if you get two you are saving money and they will be easier to move if you ever have to move them.

@ryansnyder7444 Жыл бұрын

Well with the service boxes you lose about six inches of storage space, you also have less variety of depth. With the 72 you also have options for a hutch and upper cabinet to save square footage. The service carts are great for moving from one project to another, the 72s are better to keep at larger jobs, with more specialized tools, there pros and cons to both. You can get more bang for your buck with service carts, but more tools per square foot with the 72 and an upper cabinet

I have a couple of the old Husky Tool Cabinets with the dedent draws but I am not a fan, they quickly stop holding the draws and if you move them across a shop the draws randomly open. The new Husky have the spring assist closing and that keeps the draws tight. The Gen 2 US General with the latch works but I've broken them and then the doors have nothing holding them. We'll see how good are the Gen 3, at least it looks like you can replace the draw locking strip without drilling out a rivet but it's all plastic and might not hold up.

I own a 72” series 2 box. It replaced an old 44” series 1 box, which replaced an even older 26” box. I want to see a series 3 in person, so I can compare it to my series 2. So far, as of this last Sunday, my local harbor freight store didn’t have the 72” series 3 in stock in their store on display. I’m going to check again this Sunday. I wonder if anyone who owns a series 2 box buys a series 3 box and does a side to side comparison.

@G34RH34D Жыл бұрын

The good news is, you can remove that latch mechanism and have it like the Icon. I saw a video of someone removing it for the service tech cart. So if it's exactly the same for their other series 3, should be able to remove it with no problem.

Harbor freight prices are treading up and up. Shipping cost must be killing them. The bottom 72 box probably cost them around 150 and it’s probably around 150 a piece in bulk for shipping. That’s about right 300 cost total with a 3.5x markup on avg.

@imdeplorable2241 Жыл бұрын

Shipping a 40 foot container from China is actually at 2018 rates, now. Last year, rates spiked at over $10,000 per container with some shippers charging $20,000 per container. Still, retailers must make up that extra cost from last year with this year's, (and next year's) merchandise.

@dancooper6002 In theory, yes. However the bulk of the American work force is now millennials and Zoomers who demand $50/hr to work at McDonald’s and can’t tie their shoes right without watching a KZfaq video. If these tools were made in the US, they’d be as expensive as Crap-On with flea market tool reliability. Manufacturing in the US is not viable unless you’re a millionaire who doesn’t mind spending $450 for a 3/8” ratchet.

@@dancooper6002 sure that’s a great idea. But then the cost of the tool boxes would go up 200 percent and no one would buy them. Same with the hand tools. There was a time when made in the USA was great and China was terrible. Today made in USA for many things is not good. And made in China is really good and made in Taiwan is some of the best hand tools and other stuff. It’s a sad world we live in for our country. But in the end this is what people want I guess. It’s hard to be a large scale manufacturing country when our president has a war on oil and natural gas. They don’t want us to have cheap energy.

They really should have went an inch deeper but they wanted to stay compatible with gen 2 , that's a poor excuse if that's true. If I'm buying 72" even 56" I'd like a 25" deep min really, the 22" deep works but meh. And a big one Put the drawers in the right ✅️ the wide drawers in the right, like the Matco boxes. Why do I need to go to the corner of the room to open the main drawers. I can't find a gen 2 56" anywhere. I might shoot for a gen 3 56, and wait for the Nov black Friday deals

How long do you think it will be before some idiot slams the drawers or the hutch lid into that metal pole and causing a huge dent or two ruining a good box and hutch?

Here's the short version. HF realized they had a snap-on (ish) quality box in the original us general line. HF need more money... so it seems (LMFAO) they went husky quality with the us general series 3, discontinued what we knew as the orig us general . Moved the great quality of the orig us general over to produce ICON & jack up the price.

If I could give zero I would. I recently ordered a toolchest online,us general 72in to match the one I bought 7 months ago. It was on clearance, new series was coming. Order went through order in possessing. I wait about a month 21 biss days for ship, I hear nothing so I call first lady says they are looking for a shipper. So I wait another week hear nothing so I call and get a lady says sorry item is back ordered and may or may not show up from China and my order will be canceled card refunded is there anything else I can do for you she says. Mean while my card was charged the day I made my order and my credit score dropped aswell when they damn well know they don't have the chest. Harbor Freight is the worst
