Thanks for the comment! I definitely agree that the drawers on the Husky feel much higher quality when compared to the Yukon.

Oh, I didn't even think about that aspect about the drawers opening on their own. The Husky's "soft close" mechanism does a really good job at keeping the drawers all the way closed.

Yes, especially if you can catch a good sale in Home Depot you can sometimes get this toolbox for the same price as the Yukon. Then it's REALLY a no brainer!

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed my video and I hope you enjoy the toolbox!

Thanks! I appreciate it! I'm glad you found the video informative, let me know how you like the box if you get it.

Yep, it's definitely more affordable!

Although since the release of this video, the prices of these Husky boxes have shot up through the roof. Now it's back to a toss up in terms of value, lol. And I think Harbor Freight is releasing a new generation of their Yukon boxes, so they probably will be adding in some of the Husky features. So stay tuned for that...

@@TalkingHands308 Thanks for the tip about HF coming out with a newer version soon. Today as part of a "sale" the HD Husky boxes are 448, any color. I can wait until HF starts selling their newest to see how it will compare.

@@chestrockwell8328 Before the regular price of this Husky toolbox was $440 and they would go on sale anywhere from $350 - $400. Back then at those prices and what this box has to offer over the Yukon equivalent it was a no brainer for me which one was more worth the money. Now we'll have to see what HF comes out with and at what price point to see if that's still the case.

Thanks! Still really like the choice that I made.

Ugh, yes, I made the comment with another viewer about this too, the prices have gone way up. I still would prefer this over the Yukon box because I prefer to have better quality and features even if it costs more. But supposedly Harbour Freight is coming out with a new version of the Yukon box, so perhaps they will follow Home Depot and add the features they were missing and make the box larger to match the capacity? If so and it costs less, then maybe it'll turn the tide and the HF one would be more worth the money.

Thanks!

Although just another update since this video was made, the prices of the Husky boxes have increased quite a bit. I would still recommend them over the Yukon because for me quality is more important than saving a few dollars, but supposedly HF will be releasing a new generation of Yukon boxes that might have some upgraded features, so depending on if they make the improvements they need to the tables might turn!

@@TalkingHands308 Yeah, the prices went up.... I went to Home Depot today, checked them out and really lied 52 inch one, 10 drawer. WIll probably get it. Thanks for the review again! I almost got Yukon but then decided to check youtube for more recent reviews and found your video!

@@RoaringOrange Glad to have helped! Enjoy your new toolbox, whichever you choose to go with!

Good info on the extra discount! I've never asked about that to be honest, lol.

It doesn't say on the workbench itself, at least not that I could see, so it's obviously not made in the USA, otherwise you would know, haha. Looking at their website I've seen someone say they are made in both Thailand and China.

And yes, the music is awesome. She has a small youtube channel, but she does covers of popular songs, movie music, and also her own music that you can use copywrite free. Check out her channel, link is in the description!

Aye, prices just keep going up and up!

Thanks for your input. However I'm unsure of which box you're talking about since this video is comparing two different ones. But I'll have to say that regardless of which one you're talking about, neither the Yukon nor the Husky advertises themselves as "heavy duty" tool boxes. I do agree that it would be nice if the top drawer for them to have the extra slides, but they both tell you right from the jump that these are not heavy duty and that the drawer has a weight capacity of 100lbs. I used to be a mechanic and have another toolbox in my garage with all of my mechanic tools. I know all of those impact sockets all together would most likely weigh way more than 100lbs. I haven't weighed them, but I'm guessing, or it comes very very close. Either way, yah, I wouldn't recommend EITHER of these for that kind of use. And regarding the wood top, I don't see how either of these toolboxes could possible have a warping wood top. BOTH of these the wood tops are ATTACHED to the box, as in they literally cannot warp. Are you sure you have one of these? I know the older Husky wood top was not attached and only sat on top and those can definitely warp, but these current ones I've never seen that happen. I live in South Florida where it's humid as heck and I know people with this Husky workbench in their garage, and the woodtop hasn't warped since it's permanently attached to the box itself... So I'm unsure as to what to make of that.

For example, Home Depot has the "Heavy Duty" mobile workbenches that have the 4 drawer slides on the top drawer: www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-Heavy-Duty-61-in-W-x-23-in-D-15-Drawer-Mobile-Workbench-with-Solid-Wood-Top-H61MWC15HP-C/314128004

Have you considered buying drawer slides and attaching them to the drawer? Like this one for example? www.amazon.com/dp/B08BHPCJ9Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apan_glt_i_ZTWZ5931TQNW32D3QA04 Just make sure NOT to get another soft-closing slide, they won't work right together.

I have the husky 46, the wood top is screwed down. I happen to check how it was attached after I noticed the warping and am reluctant to tighten it up out of fear it may crack or split.

@@kevinlopota3626 huh, I've never seen the new ones warp. But I think you should be able to try to bolt the corners down, or just replace the entire wood top with sanded plywood, haha.

Huh, I'm not really too sure how to check that without cutting apart the bench, lol.

Yes, the only difference is the color scheme. The Home Depot website is kind of weird, sometimes it shows this color scheme as just one of the colors under that model, and sometimes it shows it as a separate product, but I've compared them and they are identical other than the color scheme.

I haven't looked into that because I don't move mine around, so it's not really a priority for me at least. But I wouldn't be surprised if they cut corners in spots where people might not notice like the casters...

Hey, I just drilled straight through the top and the metal underneath it and put bolts through. The metal is pretty thin so it wasn't too hard to do, just had to start with a smaller hole first. It works pretty well.

@@TalkingHands308 good to hear. Thanks!

Damn, shipping must be pretty insane for something that size...

Also, that vise looks like the same one I have. HF 4" looks like you have it mounted right to the edge which is great. Know there is a metal strip for the key tumbler beneath you must miss.

The vise I have is actually made by Irwin. And I positioned it so that I can rotate it and the handle to open and close the jaw doesn't ever hit the edge of the workbench. 😀

@@TalkingHands308 Looks great. Want to mount mine as close to the edge as I can. The price has increased on these boxes from the times of review. $498 now for a black and chrome handle one.

@@34dawgsgo Yep, the prices keep going up. Supposedly Harbor Freight is going to update their Yukon workbench. Wonder if they'll be making it bigger to match Home Depot's and improving the drawer slides...

@@TalkingHands308 Was going to build a traditional work bench but the fact this has the sliding drawers to store the tools sold.

Honestly I wouldn't worry about any of that. According to CA, everything causes cancer. I've literally seen that "warning" on pretty much everything. We're not eating the toolboxes, you'll be fine, lol. 😂

There are a million and 1 videos on youtube comparing these two models against each other. I made this video because since those videos were made there has been a lot of changes in their features and construction. I still see many new comments on those old videos where it seems people are making a purchasing decision based on the information given from those old outdated videos. That's why I made this one so people know the information in those videos is no longer valid even though apparently youtube's algorithm is still recommending them to viewers now. I made it very clear that there's a price difference between the two.

I guess it depends on what you think that $84 is worth. The Yukon is a smaller toolbox, so if your space is smaller that might be good. But if you don't mind a toolbox that is bigger, you'll get almost twice the storage capacity with the Husky, an integrated power strip, and soft close drawers. So if you can do without those features and don't mind a smaller workbench, and also drawer slides that might not be as smooth as the Husky's (but YMMV there), then go with the Yukon. But if you feel like it's worth the $84 dollars to get almost double the capacity and those other features, then go with the Husky.

@@TalkingHands308 I am going to get the Husky but the price was only $348 last month.

@@TalkingHands308 the issue with me is that this chest up until this month always cost $348. Out of the blue, it costs $449. I think I'll wait for a sale or something.

@@charlesl8162 Yep, definitely. Father's Day is next month, they might have a sale then, or if not, Memorial Day is right after. You can also sometimes get a manager to give you the sale price on an in-stock item if you convince then that is the only way you will purchase it, unless they aren't that desperate to move it or anything, lol. Edit: Although I'm looking at a price history for it and it looks like $398 was the lowest it got this year? Or maybe this price history thing isn't accurate...

@@TalkingHands308 its probably accurate. On Honey's 30 day price history it was $348 in April. But there is a youtube review posted 2 months ago where the reviewer said he just paid $348 for it. Comments in other reviews say they paid $348 as well.

Drilled through the top, and attached it with some bolts and nuts. 😀

Might be true to some extent, but the Husky was smooth while empty as well...

I agree, which is why I went with the Husky and do not regret it at all. I do see a benefit to the yukon in that sometimes the smaller depth could actually be beneficial if you have a small work space though.

If you're gonna do it right, do snap on

Snap on = $$$$$$

So, you don't think I went to Home Depot to try the Husky box before I spent hundreds of dollars to buy mine? 🤔🤔🤔
