First time poster, here. I have been researching tool chests and have come to the determination that the HF 44" is probably what I want.
Question for you guys. When you go down to HF how do you take delivery? I have an F-150. Do they put in your truck for you? How do you get it off your truck when you are home? Just curious how you managed this.
As others said, they'll put it in your truck. As I didn't live very far away, I left it upright and took it easy on the turns, no problems.
To get my first one down, I had it upright like I said and simply used a strap and my engine hoist to lift it up. Drove the truck out and let it down onto the ground. No issues or racking.
To get my second one down, I took two ramps and put it on a 2 wheeler (the blue HF one with ~8" pneumatic tires) and slowly brought it down with one person on the bottom end keeping a bit of upward pressure on it.
i got an upper and lower box for christmas and after putting them together i realized they were both racked. i would have brought them back but the store is over an hour away. would i get another? NO. i would rather get something a little better quality.
That's too bad. For a scenario like yours, it wouldn't hurt to unbox them in the parking lot to know for certain they are square.
Not sure what the "assembly" is that a few of you have mentioned. Both of mine were fully assembled including the wheels. I even attempted to tighten the one I left the wheels on and they were already as tight as I felt they needed to be.
