I hate it when people don't bother actually searching, might as well not have the search feature at all....

yeah, it's so easy to "search" for pics only.

The search pretty much ***** on this forum.

No it doesn't, it works just like any other vBulletin forum. Do you use quotes or the * connector?

Found mine on local Craigslist for $650 (top, bottom and side). All basically brand new with all the handles and drawer inserts still in boxes/wrapped up like new. Best money i have spent on tools for a while.

For those that removed the "US GENERAL" emblem. How did you remove the glue that's still stuck to the chest?

Also has there ever been a coupon for the side drawers or a better deal then $200? Is it worth waiting for something to come up or just get them for $200?

Mineral spirits to remove the excess glue.

Mineral spirits would work but I prefer to do things the hard way and used a razor blade
I've never seen any side cabinet (besides the small one that occasionally goes on sale for $149) for less than $199.

am i the only one that finds it amazing there are 65 pages of discussion on this toolbox? wow. i have one, and will say it is a nice piece for the price, but i do not know if it is worth 65 pages of discussion. anywho, carry on.

65 Pages devoted to "when to buy" more so than what to buy. Note the title of the thread was "Harbor Freight 13 drawer tool boxes $271.99" - seems that the lowest price this year has been $349.99.
Nonetheless - it is a screaming good DEAL.
FWIW,

I am still scouting the magazine racks, waiting for those October issues to arrive with the $349 coupons in them!
Dug through a zillion magazines today at Barnes & Noble, but none yet have the October ad with the $349 price.
I got a real kick out of the well-intentioned and helpful posts last weekend announcing that "the Sunday paper" had the coupon in it. Maybe so, but we don't all get the Sunday Oregoonian, or the Sunday Denver Post/Ombudsman . . .
It would seem that we're seeing the start of a mass advertising campaign with the $349 price, which probably signals a looming shortage of the 13 drawer boxes.

Thanks for that, I'll be sure to add that to the list I am watching for.
Thank you for the effort, but I doubt that would be bar code scannable. Kinda blurry.

Doesn't matter if it scans or not. They can enter the number on the coupon if it won't scan.

I think the older model might have had a sticky adhesive which I can see how mineral spirit would remove it but mines used some hard clear glue that's rock solid. I tried some mineral spirit on a rag last night and it didn't do anything at all. Will have to try a razor blade tonight, hopefully i dont take off the powdercoating with it.

The US General raised logo on the front was applied with foam, double-sided tape. After carefully prying off the plastic logo, I used my wife's finger nail polish remover to get the last of the gooey tape and foam off. It worked beautifully.

Snap-On labels would cost as much as the HF box!

I see your greenie bouncy thingy, but honestly, anyone who puts a SO label on a HF box probably gave his wife a knock off Coach bag and has a fake Rolex and not a good fake at that.
