Dewalt tool box - Home Depot

[aroslv]

Regular price $500, sale price $350.

In case anyone is interested, I am hoping this means the Husky ones will go on sale too before Christmas.

Nice, but I don't understand why you would put a company's billboard in your garage.

Ha!!!! Awesome

some people might just prefer yellow over red

Bottom rolling tool cabinet for $225? Wow with a little paint to cool down the high VIS yellow and a few mods we could have another "What mods did you do to improve your Dewalt box?"

 

[trogo]

There are lots of die hard Dewalt fans that would love displaying the colors.

 

[mrvm]

IMO if one could get past the high VIS yellow paint, the Dewalt tool cabinet is made with relatively thick metal with good drawer stiffness that rivals the HF 44. Might even be made by the same factory. Drawers are rated for 100 lb and the 12" bottom is rated for 200 lb. Didn't know that the bottom drawer could be opened up completely which makes some sense if storing large power tools. Critics should check them out to see if it works for them. Decent warranty too versus 90 day

It's very um, yellow.

 

[upgrading]

Better than HF red.

All I know is, Snap on yellow is far superior to any DeWalt yellow.

So there. Dang it, pics too small

That box is nearly 10x the cost of the dewalt. That being said the dewalt is a great option for the price. Better quality than the husky

Its too small. Only 6 drawer top. To many drawers that are deep on the bottom for me

Saw some of the Husky tool boxes on my visit to a local store yesterday as a part of the ongoing Black Friday sale. Large 16 drawer 2 piece combo for $449, for example. Not sure how it compares to the other ones mentioned, quality wise, but it was a decent looking all black in color.

 

[Buckgnarly]

That large top area is kind of cool....two slides on that big bottom drawer too.

 

[stage20]

Its not as well built as the dewalt but stronger metal than last years models. I doubt it would handle sockets full in the top drawer but for home use it would pass. Only issue would be geting a slide if you had issue. They are different brand everytime I look at them in store. Coo is vietnam

 

[alxdgr8]

Checked it out a few weeks ago, not bad quality wise. Felt pretty sturdy. It's only a 36",otherwise I would pick up a bottom at that price.

I noticed that too. I think they tried to make it geared toward the contractor. It probably can accommodate all the saws and different drills in those big drawers.

Dunno, it opens half way. Idiotic cut corner design if you ask me. I was sold due to drawer highth, to put blocks and heads in...then found out it doesnt open all the way. Having it open half way totaly defeats the purpose of a big drawer...

Interesting. I walk by it everyday when I am in there and never played with it. I will take a look tomm. I make a morning run and usually a night run to the depot.

There's a stop in place which keeps the drawer from opening all the way. One of the bottom boxes at one of my Home Depots has had the stops removed and that deep bottom drawer opens fully.

I own already a Harbor Freight tool chest and cart but at $350 it makes it hard to resist buying this i liked the price when i saw it at $500 now at $350 makes it hard not to buy it.

 

[CNGsaves]

Like to have detailed comparison of actual specs in that one great GJ thread.

Any one purchase this yet?? Post up thickness of metal, drawer capacity, measurements, etc so an update to that thread can be done.

Now . . . with all that Dw advertising, you'd think they could put you on mailing list and ship out new free battery for their cordless tools every 2 years !!

 

[sponfit]

I'm thinking of buying the top chest and making a cart out of it. Saw if for $125 and am gonna sleep on it before I do anything drastic.

Starting at about 0:23 is a quick review of the DeWalt box

Another video on the Dw toolbox that does have some info:

Personally I think this is great value for money, when you consider the equivalent in husky or craftsman would cost you easily twice as much and much more flimsy.

I think this rivals the harbor freight stuff, and id take this over their 26" stack.

The drawer layout is a downside, could have made them abit thinner and added a couple more and even divided them, the top box mounted on a cart would be good, diagnostics up top.

If someone needed a bottom box or a cart for $225, that is a nice setup. 36" and all. Bottom would be good for bulk fluids and power tools.

hell for 125 I might just grab the top and put in on the HF 42 I got last week for the garage.

 

[77Ford]

His going to be #%#% upset the HD took him for an extra $150 let week

At this price point for somebody needing a decent box, it wouldn't be bad. Bigger than the average 26" stack on cabinets and for those short on room and can't fit a 40"+ box, this would probabaly fill the bill. Since the top looks to open flush with the back, it should flat against a wall, maybe perfect for an enclosed construction or car trailer.

I'm not super keen on the huge open top but I'd imagine a bunch of hansen socket rails would sit there nicely.

Just unpacked for a photo shoot.....Great deal thanks OP.

I was just eyeing them the other day.........$100 W/HF 20% off

Don't knock it until you tried it......[emoji12]

I just smile and ask for a price match....

 

[rednotch]

any dimensions on the drawers?

 

[thecody59]

This is a one day only sale in case some of you didn't know. I really have to think about this one i don't need it but at this price it is hard to resist.

Please post up PDF of that 20% coupon in the HF coupon thread.
. . . . . . . . . maybe the magic will rub off !!

I was at HF the other day and gave guy 25% coupon . . . he thought I was the Santa Claus as he had never seen a 25% coupon . . only 20% !!!

 

[77Ford]

I off to buy 3 or 4 more to line the back wall of the garage....as far as the HF coupon it is just more I rip out of a mag and turn it in... Really nothing special . I do have to laugh though because sometimes they give it back to
Me? Lol
