Thor 72'' tool chest - Delivered

bhq100 · Feb 16, 2016

I had read a few threads on rolling tool chests and did a bunch of research. I liked the Trinity 72'' stainless tool chest sold through Costco.com. I kept seeing this Thor http://www.wayfair.com/Stainless-Steel-Anti-Fingerprint-Tool-Chest-with-Work-station-HTC7215W-THKI1011.html?logout=1455658466 Tool Chest and thought it looked almost identical to the trinity. I contacted the Chinese company that manufactures it. I got in touch with them through Alibaba.com - Hyxion Industries I think was the name. They all make them at the same plant it seems. http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/hyxion-72inch-15-drawers-stainless-steel_60232793757.html?spm=a2700.7724857.29.79.Xkbmvt

I just received it from Wayfair.com. I used a 10%off coupon so the total delivered cost came to $723. You will get the coupon with any previous wayfair order or you can buy the codes on ebay for less than $5. It's a very impressive unit. Fully assembled except for the Wheels and side handles. Very, very nice quality. Thought some other people might be interested. Photos below. The total weight is identical as Trinity 72'' on Costco.com.

Very nice.

Nice I have been looking at some 72's myself lately trying to find something for a decent price (I don't need a Snap On) Let us know how she holds up in the near future!

bhq100 · Feb 16, 2016

Last Photo.... The unit weighs 306lbs. Total time from order to delivery was 11 days.

Nice looking box bud, congrats. But did I read the spec right and it's only 18" deep?

DBendr · Feb 16, 2016

How about a favor and grab a pic of the bottom drawer open and side view for the rails ?
Double rail ? Can you stand in it ?

bhq100 · Feb 16, 2016

Here is the catalog that the guy from the Chinese Co. Hyxion emailed me. Seems they make a lot of tool chests for a lot of U.S. Retailers.

I just need it to store my tools for typical weekender type stuff. The 18'' is all I need.

bhq100 · Feb 16, 2016

I weigh 260lbs. Not going to stand in it.

BHQ, Welcome to our group,
Thanks for sharing your new box with us.

4 2"x4" casters feel inadequate for a box that long

I like the additional number of drawers in the 96" model. Anyone know where to buy one of those?

Nice..

W0rLDWaR4 · Feb 17, 2016

Nice looking box. You couldn't order it from Alibaba for less?

bhq100 · Feb 17, 2016

Here is the link for the 96''. Use a 10% off coupon and it would be $999 delivered with free shipping no tax. Only problem is that it is currently out of stock.

http://www.wayfair.com/Stainless-Steel-Anti-Fingerprint-Tool-Chest-with-Work-station-HTC9624W-THKI1012.html

Through Alibaba the 96'' is $699 but the ocean shipping is FOB. Wasn't sure how to work that economically.

The wheels and casters were definitely 6'' in diameter and heavy duty.

Looks like the montezuma 72s that were discont. from menards last year, if thats the case I really want a 96, my garage is very narrow.

For the 96?

ALLOUTOFBUBBLEGUM · Feb 18, 2016

Not sure why you wouldn't go with a harbor freight box.

At similar prices the boxes are hundreds of pounds more heavy duty.

I am not sure that your statement is accurate. The 44 and 56 have this under their description...

Tall drawers feature 2 pairs of ball-bearing slides to support up to 80 lbs per drawer.

I didnt see individual weight ratings on the drawers on the 72.

HF is notorious for inaccurate specs on their site, and I'm sure that number is not correct for the deep, double slide drawers. If you look at total weight of the HF 72" and this 72", you'll see that the HF weighs over 2x as much (assuming that is accurate anyway).

I'm not a big HF fan, I don't own one of their boxes (and won't until they change that awful drawer trim), but I'd bet dollars to donuts that it's a much better built box than one of these.

The drawer trim slides right off...

As others have said, the box itself weighs hundreds of pounds more.
