My tool chest finally came in after 3 weeks of being on back order and its defective. The drawers do not open and close smoothly like you will see in other peoples videos. Going to exchange it for another one and hope its better. ‪@harborfreight‬ #harborfreight

For the money they are charging these days I think the Husky brand is better deal. HF has jumped the shark.

I bought 2 of the US general 44” on sale for $299 a month or so, ago. I think that’s the same price as the Yukons right now. I almost thought about getting the Yukons but I really liked the deeper drawers.

The yukon boxs are one of the best choices FOR ITS PRICE RANGE! Sounds like you are expecting snap on or matco level finish out of a budget box. Come on man

People say you get what you pay for but to me that doesn't mean you settle for things that ain't right. The drawers are not suppose to be like that and I wasn't satisfied so I returned it and had them open the box in the store so I could test out the new ine before taking it home

If im not mistaken, the slides aren't locked in all the way. I used to work at snapon building boxes and that was always a big issue people had was not locking the tracks down all the way

Would that be a builder issue, i.e. not fastening the tracks properly or are you talking about the little triggers that let you pull the drawer all the way out? If the former, would that be something reasonably fixed by the end user?

I agree Send it back.

took it back and got another one. Had them open the box so i could check it before we left the store. My original one those drawers are definitely not suppose to be like that. Seems they have a QC issue. Their floor model even had bad drawers on it. A different store had a floor model that had great sliding drawers. The one i brought home in exchange is much better

That’s good you were able to get it exchanged for a much better one.

The Yukon is a VERY basic box, which is why it is on the lower spectrum for cost. Unlike it's comparative box the Husky or Kobalt it doesn't have soft close glides that pull and keep the drawers in. If you didn't have to "snap" these drawers in, they likely would just roll open if you were moving the cabinet around. Even on my US general, I have to snap them in, they are a thicker more solid drawer on the US general, so it doesn't feel as wonky like the lighter duty Yukon. I just purchased the same Yukon as you, and it won't be available till next month, but I wasn't expecting it to be the quality of the US General boxes at that price point. For me I need a box that is only about 18" deep which is the only reason I went with this box. I know from having another Yukon, (the single drawer with doors) It's very basic. You may have gotten a messed up box, but I don't think your replacement will be tons better, hope your exchange however proves me wrong though. Good luck!

Replacement was much better. My box was definitely "warped." I suggest anyone buying this has them open in the store and check your drawers before you take it home. I went to two different stores and looked at their floor models and one store was perfect the other was bad like my original. Yes they are lower end but that doesnt mean we should accept defective products
