HF reds versus Craftsman red

I asked this on the tail-end of another thread, and it probably serves me right for not starting my own. Does anyone have pictures of the HF 44" crinkle red and/or the larger 56" gloss red next to a red Craftsman tool box, cabinet, or shelf unit? One of my main reasons for waiting to see whether HF starts making the smaller box in the gloss red is so that I can get other cabinets and shelves that everyone seems to make in red, and have them be a pretty close match. If neither HF red is a close match to everyone else's red then I'll probably have to come up with plan B.

I have a 26", 16-drawer HF combo in the same gloss red as the 56" box. I also have several red Craftsman boxes. They are not the same color.

Craftsman red is more like fire engine red, HF red has a touch of orange in it.


At least that is my opinion.

I have a 42" Craftsman top box that is still sitting in the cardboard. I am either going to put it on a 56" HF roller cabinet or if they do indeed come out with a 42" gloss red roller cabinet, I will consider that.

I do like that 56" cabinet. It is stout.


I am not worried about the mis-match reds. I'm not entering them in fashion contests. My wife did turn her nose up at the idea of putting the gloss red Craftsman box on the HF crinkle red finished 42" cabinet....
