I have received my collapsible rolling tool box today from Woot (ordered it on Friday !!!).
The package was damaged and had holes in it, as soon as i lifted it up form the porch (where the mail man left it), it broke through the card board.
A big MINUS for packaging / handling by the delivery guy !
I opened up the package and on lid was broken off, guess this was caused by the bad packaging / handling.
It wasn't damaged, it just came off by the week welding seam.
No big deal i thought and riveted it back on (and as a measure of precaution, i did the same at the other lid.)
The box was very hard to open at first, but after some oil at the joints and some more tries, it works fine now and it'll need some break-in time to loosen the joints up a bit.
Over all impression:
Quality:
Not a Hazet collapsible tool box,
The powder coat has already some chips (minor, there will be more during use over the years).
It feels strong and not flimsy when it stands up,
the collapsing mechanism works great,
It rolls nice and has nice castors,
the size is for my purposes great (put some tools in it from my big box when i do some work around the house / car / motorcycle.....).
Over all:
Would i pay 300$ for it ? No, my Hazet Assistent is better quality (of course higher price, but i'd rather would buy a used Hazet for 300 - 400 than spending 300 on this one).
Would i buy it again:
Yes, especially for this price (75$ shipped) and even double the price.
I was very close to pull the trigger a few weeks ago at the Eastwood website where the price is 159 $ (and i would have eventually ordered it some times.
I can see this thing working pretty well and come in Handy really often.
Over all i am pleased with the purchase / quality.
