Has anyone added a side cabinet or side drawers to the Kobalt 41" stainless tool chest and cabinet combo? I know they dont offer one, but I have been thinking about maybe modifying the HF ones to work with the combo. I would probably paint everything black including the stainless box when it was finished. Anyone do anything similar to their Kobalt setup?

i think im going to do this with my classic 96 and see if either my dealer can get me a quart of the same colored paint or maybe my auto body friend could just match it. $200 plus paint and a case of beer for my friend shooting it far out values the thousand or more id spend on a snappy side locker. im sure i could get it to work, even though the locker would be a bit more shallow, im not sure id care if i mounted it flush with the surface of the box. i would love to the end result if someone has done this to a non hf box please show us

I have a buddy with the blue 36" Kobalt roll cab bought 5 years ago that just bought the HF side box and painted it blue to match.

It looks very very nice although he does know his way around a spray booth.
He just did the exterior to match.
Inside of dwrs are still red due to his apathy toward both boxes.

Ironic, don't ya think?
LOL

His box. His rules. :)

It was just a hang, drill and bolt up deal IIRC.
I'll text him and find out if mods were necessary.

The way the top chest sits on the cabinet of the 41" Kobalt prevents you from being able to just hang the side cabinet on like u can on the harbor freight boxes.

Did you ever try this out?

Another thread dragged from the graveyard. You're probably not going to get an answer. The OP hasn't been here since 2019.
