Harbor Freight 72" vs. International 75"

[BearBite]

I am looking at a 72"+ tool box and have seen both of these boxes are close to the same price to my door.

What are your thoughts of these two boxes compared to one another? What would you go with and why?

look at box weight and load handling capabilites...
then ask yourself what is the better box

The International is $750 more than the HF box. Based on the reviews in all of the HF boxes, this seems like a no brainer.

hf box weighs 200# more

has almost 3k more capacity then the international
enough HF stores around to make store pickup pretty easy with a trailer

I have to pay tax and shipping on the Harbor Freight, they don't carry it in stores, so the cost gets within a few hundred of the international.

Harbor Freight also has been known to exaggerate the quality "capacity" of there products in the past.

For the money difference, the weight difference, the capacity difference, the quality difference...

Your choice is already made...

Enjoy your Harbor Freight 72" Roller Cabinet...

If the 72 is built anything like the 44 or 56 units then i would be comfortable with their ratings. Those two boxes are some of the few hidden gems in that store.

HF 72" all day long. Take some picks when you get it.

It looks like it is a no brainier with everyone here. When I get the tax return I'll be getting one.
