have any experience with TMG Industrial cabinets/workbenches?

[kbeefy]

Some of these popped up at a local farm auction, they're all new and wrapped up so I can't really check out the drawers....

Has anyone seen one in person or used one? I searched the interwebs and only found other auction sites selling them, no reviews.

Thanks!

They look nice

Ive seen their products at several local auctions in Idaho. Some of their products Ive seen at my local auctions include tool boxes, augers, all sorts of skid steer attachments, containers with windows/doors, barbed wire, hydraulic presses, etc etc. Ive probably seen around 50 different products with the TMG label at auctions. I have never bought any of their products but I would put it on par with harbor freight with what Ive seen and knowing it comes out of China. But they do look nice. Then again so does Harbor Freight stuff to when its new. Whoever is dumping this stuff at auctions around the country is also dumping driveway gates which I dont know the wall thickness on the tubing but they were super, super light when I lifted an end up. On par with the rest of Chinas junk.

No expense spared on the protective styrofoam... to protect the 24gauge steel

We also have TMG stuff flooding our farm and industrial auctions. I bought a 100 Ton press for less than a grand - not the greatest tool, but one with a little modification suits my needs. Also have a PTO chipper - but haven't used it yet. Have seen the tool boxes/benches, but without new shop up I have no place to put them. Will consider when time comes (as I am sure they will still be on offer every month). They seem to have really good pricing (based on auction bids) for tension fabric shelters - worth considering for temporary or short term cold storage.

I looked on the skid steer FB group for opinions. Everything they make for skid steers is **** that breaks or bends the first time you use it.

I have one similar to the last picture. I won it somewhat on accident. I tossed a bid in not expecting to win. I paid less than $500 for it. It’s adequate at that price point. I wouldn’t pay much more for one. They’re not total junk but wouldn’t last in a professional shop. I use it to store consumables and odd tools I don’t use everyday. I also dont use it as workbench either.

What does this have to do with the topic?

Thats how I purchased my first VW bug.

Are the drawers decent? Or are they flimsy junk?
I also would just use them to store rarely used items.

I just looked at some past auctions and it looks like they have sold for $1500-3000.
I'll probobaly throw a couple hundred in the pot and see what happens, not worth that much to me. I'd buy Lista if I had that kind of budget.

The drawers are ok. I’d put them along the line of some of the Craftsman boxes. I wouldn’t put over 100lbs in one.
I agree on the Lista boxes. I have a couple of them and they are nice.
