I wanted one, but couldn't find one at a store and did not want to wait 90+ days. SO I ended up with the 56. I will still buy a 72 if I ever run into one.

They have it on display at my local one. It's a lot of toolbox for the money. Be aware that although it is wide, the drawers are rather shallow. Probably only 18 or 20 inches deep.

22 5/16 deep.
Don't own one, only played with them in the store due to the fuss people make over them here. I thought each of these boxes would be similar. They appear to come from different factories. The drawer slides feel different and the latches certainly are (as I recall). They are also different shades of red. My recollection was that the 44" box was noticeably nicer- appeared to be better built, having nicer drawers etc

The 44" at my local store were thin 18" and felt cheap compared to the 56".

That's the depth of the box. The drawers are 19.5" deep according to their manual.

Well there you have it folks!
I mean the real first ones were something like 29" deep.

I like the drawer layout better than the 72" Frontier box I got from Rural King, but not $400 more. I also like having a center set of casters.

You can't go far wrong with 56" roller...
And, if you need it...
They've got a top box for it!!!
My Wife bought me one for Christmas, last year...
Got it on sale for $ 699.99!!!
A lot of roller cabinet for seven bills...

Sorry, didn't get what you were saying... No, mine is the new new one that's not as deep.
That's what i have. Beastly box for the price. And you can still add the side pieces too.
Figured I'd throw this on here. I am by no means here to bash hf stuff. I myself happened to own a hf 56" box and loved it. After time I came across a nice snap on krl for a hell of a deal and couldn't resist and sold the 56".
I did want to show something tho to warn anyone about the 72" box and possibly other sizes to really check it out before u leave te store with it
I happened to be in hf last night to get a knick knack or two and I seen their 72" box and was looking at it. I happened to get on the ground and then is when I noticed the total lack of quality control. Look at the random spaced blobbed weld that is connecting the lower panel that is gapped over a 1/4" at some areas. So for anyone thinking about this box make sure u really inspect yours before it leaves the store

Poor QC with Harbor Freight?
They are welded that way on purpose to allow airflow to vent out the store stench.

No way. The HF boxes are the best out there. That has to be Photoshop. Anyone who buys any other box is a fool. (Sarcasm off )
