HF Tool Cabinet

[karoc]

Finally it has arrive,to recap I purchase this cabinet before Thanksgiving cause it was on sale and lot of the membership here giving these cabinets a thumbs up.Well yesterday I by the store and pick it up and while there I was going to collect HF Free Flash light if you made a purchase for my grand daughter for some reason likes to play with flash lights. But in the HF traditional form they did not get their shipment. But back to the box,as the lady loading it up I notice a few areas that the box was damage so we took a look inside and all was good.Guys me being me when I got it home I was thinking that I would just unload it myself by lowering one end to the ground.But this beast weights a ton so I use my HF grantry crane to unload it.The drawers are so smooth and I like the double drawer slides on the bigger drawers.Guys I am one happy camper,now waiting to see if the upper will go on sale over the Holidays.Yahoooo!

Congrats I love mine, look for the 15% off for that top cabinet only sale I have ever seen for them. Possibly a new years sale? I really liked the extra space on top of the cabinet for things I was working on before I got the top chest but I did need the extra storage just a thought.

For what they cost, they really aren't a bad option. I just hate the drawer closing mechanism. Mine uses some kind of ball bearing detent, newer ones use a side latch which you can only operate from one side of the drawer...

Its why the only other real option for me is soft-close or posi-latch.

Mine doesn't have the side latch. I bought it a few months ago. When did they switch to the side latch mechanism?

Great color choice!

I’m in 100% agreement that you should pull the cardboard top off and take a look at the store. Mine had the slightest ding and to be honest I wouldn’t have said anything if I got it home before noticing- it’s pretty minor. I pointed it out in the store and ended up walking out with the 72” for $799. I can have the ding pulled for $50 bucks if I want to later.

The latch is on the 56" and 72" boxes, the 26" and 44" have detents.
I think some of the 56" builds have both the latch and detents, but they all have latches.

The 44" boxes do not have the latches

A $400 dent ? Doggone, I think I would have rolled that right into a 44" bottom box or a top box.
