Every detail is laid bare for you to see. How much will you spend on one of these boxes, and is it worth it?

You should definitely check out the tekton box I got one and love it. The value of it I think is a great Value. It does not have the fancy charging stuff but the drawers and wheels are able to handle moving on roads. Drawers are rated at 400 lbs each

Looks like all of the tool truck brands make well constructed boxes. The deciding factors seem to be size, drawer layout, drawer retention and price. I honestly can’t see paying $9k for any used box considering that’s around what a 54” Masters series retails for.

I can say that I've never seen a bad box, regardless of brand. Even the Husky and US General boxes are good. All boxes have weight capactities, so as long as you don't overload them, they last a long time.

I like Matco boxes. I think they are quality units. The Pro’s for this box are those drawer slides, power drawer and the boxes heavy duty construction. The cons are the “small skinny” drawers, the power strip above the largest drawer, and the price. If you are buying it used for a good price I think it would fit the guy or gal who’s making that next step in their career. What’s the story on that Awesome Three Drawer Snap On Roll Cart?! It’s a Real LOOKER!!!😆

I'd be curious to hear your opinion on how the various tool box lines compare with their competitors. Ie 6s vs krl vs macsimizer or classic vs tech vs 4s

Every brand has a quality offering. I have seen every one in shops for years: US General, Icon, International, Homak, Extreme, Montezuma, Tool Vault, Kennedy, Snap-On, Matco, Mac, Monster, Cornwell, Waterloo, Husky and Milwaukee. They are all fine quality. It's tough to do a side-by-side of all brands and models, but suffice to say the light duty offerings by each brand are comperable in quality, as are the medium- and heavy duty offerings. The differences are preferential when deciding what you want for power, accessories, lighting and color choice. I have never seen any box of any brand experience a structural failure. I have seen casters de-laminate on Mac, Matco and Snap-On boxes. I've seen locks fail on Matco and Snap-On boxes. I've seen drawer slides fail on Snap-On and Matco boxes due mainly to neglect, and I've seen one brand new Snap-On box where the spray-on liner on the top didn't adhere properly, bubble up and peel off. I've seen some of the sliding plastic drawer latches on Snap-On boxes fail and some of the adjustable thumb turn catches fail on Matco boxes like the one on the box in this video. Snap-On and Matco boxes, in my opinion, have the nicest features like built-in power and color options. The new Revel line from Matco is particularly beautiful. But I believe they are overpriced. And I do not believe spending more money on tool storage than your average car is money well spent. Mac and Cornwell (made by Kennedy, which is owned by Cornwell) haven't kept pace with their feature offerings and look more utilitarian. Their new medium and heavy duty boxes are rather expensive for lacking so many features. Homak boxes are very basic, like the US General boxes are. No bells and whistles. Strictly tool storage. Husky from Home Depot have surprisingly nice features and are priced attractively, but are pretty light duty. But I know many techs who own them and never had a problem. I'm shocked at how nice the Icon line from Harbor Freight is. Excellent quality and rather heavy duty on their larger boxes. So if I were to make a recommendation for purchasing new and money wasn't a huge consideration: Light/Medium Duty - Husky from Home Depot. Medium Duty - Icon from Harbor Freight or Extreme RX series Heavy Duty - Extreme Pro-series from Strictlytoolboxes.com My recommendation for tight budgets and brand new technicians: Husky from Home Depot or US General from Harbor Freight You gave me an idea for another video! Hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply. I've seen all the big names throughout the years but not really any of the companies like extreme or homak. I'd have to say I was the most impressed by an older macsimizer but the guy sold it before I could make arrangements. I'm pretty set on storage and don't see myself needing another box. I do like to keep up on what's out there and hearing different opinions though

On my 6s I stole the second drawer slide off the power drawer and put it on the bottom wide drawer. Worked out way better as that is my heaviest drawer other than my top socket drawer.

The Icon boxes at HF are pretty heavy duty but for a much better price. Matco is a chop shop company that is not true red white and blue. I would consider Snap On or Cornwell before these guys any day. Matco used to be a descent company but when all the American tool companies shut down it exposed them for the company they really are which is just a toolbox factory.

Matco can make a quality toolbox. They are overpriced but in there defense they are made in the USA and well built. That box has too many thin drawer. I'm curious what toolbox he tried this in for or did he get out of the business?

@CoyleTools 2 жыл бұрын
You probably won't believe the truth, since it is stranger than fiction. But the fact is he asked me to sell the box on consignment because he bought a 41" US General box that he's using instead. You read that correctly.

@@CoyleTools sounds like a case of buyer's remorse. Either do to the price or drawer configuration. I have even seen something like this when the toolbox owner and the tool dealer have a falling out. Have you seen the u-tub channel Jimmy making it work. He sold is Snap-on epic toolbox's and bought harbor freight icon toolboxes 🧰 to replace them.
