That'd be a great box for a woodworker or other hobbyist.
Our **** get's pretty heavy if you cram enough in the drawers.
A heavy equipment guy would crush it.

My wife grabbed me one for an Xmas present last year and if I had room I'd go get another today. I also have 2 of their 46" rolling workbenches and like those for the same reasons.
They are not as strong as a lot of other boxes, but they are great value if all you want to do it is push it against a wall and then load it and leave it there. If you intend to put every tool you have in the box and then want to roll it around all day, look at HF or the truck brands.
The opening top can be a bit of a pain if you're short, hard to see right in the back. The drawers themselves work fine and don't seem to sag unless you are loading them heavily. You have to accept that the sheet metal isn't the heaviest and that relatively light loading is all you will get away with. Light is relative though, one drawer in mine holds all my air tools and doesn't sag at all. Drawers slide easily but not loose enough to fly out. The locks work although you do have to make sure the drawers are pushed in well to latch them all.
Having said that, for just a little more than the HF 44" box you can get 2 of these and have masses of space where you shouldn't need to cram everything in.

I did a review. On one last year. It's okay for leaving it against the wall, has lots of room here is the link http://www.thetoolreviewguy.com/2013/08/normal-0-false-false-false-en-us-x-none.html
I have a 8 minute video in my review.

Yes, very flimsy. Guy at work has that box. Why he bought it for work, I have no idea, because he so cheap, is what I would suspect though. It's so light, I couldn't believe it. I helped him carry it downstairs from our building. For 200 bucks sitting in a corner with no heavily loaded drawers, it would work though.

Perfect for turning into a vault like setup for the garage. Take it off the casters, mount it to the wall and rig up a bar like lock down the entire front. This way you arent drilling a bunch of holes into anything good.

Thanks for your great review - can you tell us about how well the drawers have held up for you now that you have used it for a while? Specifically I am wondering about the ones you have loaded down with wrenches and heavier things. I am looking for a box to park in one place in the garage and was saving up to get a 44" HF next year. But as long as the drawers can hold wrenches and sockets reliably I may grab this instead.

They have held up just fine they bow with the sockets but still work over a year and half later. The only thing is that doesn't work is the bottom lock, no big deal I don't lock mine any way.

I've got two of them for home use.
Picked them up when they were $179 a pop. For what they are I love them.
