Bumping this up to generate more votes:thumbup: What do you guys think of the new white. It is really unique in person IMHO.

White is my vote, but HF is only carrying that in the 5-drawer cart at the moment. I think it's a market test to see how the color sells with one of their high volume products. Green if forced to pick from the existing box colors.

Love the feel of this thread and poll!

Colors got me going! I am even thinking about picking up a 26 and finding parts to put in it.

Went in to get the sale price on the welding table last Saturday, manager was my checker. I asked how the colors were going, and which one seemed most popular. He said selling more than normal, and.................blue.

I was prepared to come home with red, blue or black (the last mostly because it would match the Husky tool box I already had).

Blue was all they had available in matching colors for the 2 boxes I wanted (26 and 44), so blue it was. I have not been unhappy with that choice.


I will say I was surprised at how good the yellow looked in person, that would certainly brighten up a shop mostly filled with grey, industrial greens and black.

I bought a red tool cart and I love it, but something like three weeks later the bastards released the first batch of the other colors.

I really, really like the blue, and if I had had any idea it was coming I would have waited.

Oh well.

So blue.

I sort of lost my mind and voted with my wallet earlier today at HF. I went with green. A 72" roller with a 44 & 26" top boxes.

My current boxes are either red or red w/gray drawers. When I eventually buy new, it will likely be dark blue boxes, either HF or Menards

The green, yellow and orange are all nice. The white almost looks sterile. Either way, a buddy of mine has a green snap on cart that he hates because of how easily it shows fingerprints so the lighter colors wouldn't be my choice. I actually bought a black cart and I need to finish preparing it for paint. I'm leaving the inside black and the outside will be Toyota Speedway blue.

Was undecided on green or Yellow and leaning yellow until I stopped in today and then I knew I had to have the green one. Got a pretty good deal on the 44" the manager was a great guy and gave me the $450 price from the parking lot sale that ended Sunday and then took the 10% off coupon that is in the HF coupon database. So got out for $438 and some change all in with tax included. Won't arrive for a week or two so now I got to break it to the wife!! Like they say better to ask forgiveness than permission.

I voted red and that will be the color next I choose next spring when I buy either 2 44" top and bottom sets or 1 56" set along with 1 44" set. My tool chests are 4 black, 5 red and 2 stainless. Since all my hand tools are going to be located in one corner of the shop, I'll put them in the red boxes and use the black ones for specialized tools and tooling for my mills and lathes. The stainless ones are already loaded with mill and shaper tooling. My welding carts/cabinets are black as well.

I voted orange. I recently bought a 5 drawer cart in Orange and love the color. When it comes time, I’ll be buying a 56 in Orange as well. Currently, I just don’t have room for it in my garage.
