Homak RS-Pro 72" Tool Box

[DTB]

Flipping through the Q4 Napa real deals catalog and came across these. First I've seen of them and haven't found much on line about them. Anybody know anything about them?

 

[bobcatdan]

The H2 pro boxes are ok for the money so if these are a step above, probably pretty good. I'm guess not super deep, maybe 24", but 21" would be my guess. Assuming most deep drawers are double slides, 100 lbs slides are fine considering all the shallow drawers. That said, I'm guess on most because I haven't seen these.

 

[Mr_B]

Never seen an RS Pro range before .
interested in what depth these are .

 

[DTB]

The depth was what I was curious about as well. It seems to compete with the HF and other low budget 72" boxes in price range.

 

[bobcatdan]

Playing around on homark website, the box isn't on there, but the RS series looks to be migrate under the h2pro and Kennedy made big dawg series.

 

[Mr_B]

^ yeh they do H2PRO RS and PRO series but I not recall a RS PRO . At the price can't see it being one of there better ones but more details would be good .

 

[Richard Cranium]

Harbor Freight has the 72 inch on sale again at 999.99
Really hard to beat.

 

[Mr_B]

^ is hard beat at that price, upgrade castors and it very capable box for low buck .

I was inquiring about the h2pro from my local Napa. The 72" with ss top... He brings out the flyer and shows me the rs-pro. The colors are subjective, but I like them... And I like the drawer layout better than the h2pro.

They list very similar details.. 100# drawer capacity, ball bearing slides etc. Then in big lettering, "limited lifetime warranty"

I would like info on what restrictions are on the warranty?

Also, anyone confirmed depth?

Is this box on par with the h2pro? Or is it a step down?

found out they are 21" deep.

I am on the fence between one of these or the newer 24" deep masterforce boxes from menards

 

[Mr_B]

I'd check out the 24" masterforce first as maybe better box (extra depth BIG plus) and may have BF deal !

I've been looking into this a lot... found a 41" listed on offer up. My local Napa got back to me as well as me calling an out of state store that had one instock.

They physically measure 24" deep. These seem like a great value

This is what local Napa sent me:

I think it's a great value. I ordered the red model. I'm in MN. Seemed limited availability. Only red and blue available to me. I was ready to get the masterforce 72"... But with top, it was over 1700.

I should have it next week

My box came in today. Nicely boxed... Maybe should have been crated, but came to my local Napa in good condition.

This is the 72".. Napa offered it in 3 colors. My local Napa said only two colors still available for this model. Yes, they come with a stainless top

They also offered a 41" roller with top chest for around a grand. I think there were 5 colors available for those.

I inquired about specs on the box from homak. They got back to me yesterday (already decided to order, but this was their reply)

"Hi xxxxx,

That particular unit is 24” deep. Each drawer can hold up to 100 lbs and three of the sixteen drawers do have double slides so they can hold 200 lbs. As far as quality we have heard great feedback from our customers everyone really likes this box."

A bit disappointing being that deep but only having 100 pound slides.

 

[Mr_B]

yeh 120lbs would seem as low as want go but as bigger drawers have double it not too bad, hopefully long top drawer has a under drawer slide for extra support ...

The box is really nice. Time will tell, but at this point I feel like I got great value. People want to compare everything to multi thousand dollar boxes.... My brother is an auto body tech and has a couple snappy boxes. He has had to replace slides at his expense. This might not be as good as one of those tool truck boxes but it's also much cheaper.... And has a lifetime warranty that includes things like the slides.

Overall I am more pleased with it than I expected to be.

It looks nice and got a lot of plus point features, slides would be good enough for me I expect but surprised not more than 100lbs for this homak grade box. warranty a plus though .
Not sure how much you paid but if cheaper than the masterforce it a good price and looks better . worktop looks nice and the drawer liners on homak pretty good, I not seen or touched on of these rs pro boxes but would like to . With the right owner the better cheaper boxes can last decades .
Enjoy your purchase ...

That's a good looking box. We need more pictures.

 

[Zivman]

1299 is what I paid. to get the newer masterforce with a top I priced it out over 1700... maybe cheaper with an 11% rebate or sale.

in comparison; I had touched and played with the h2pro many times at northern (41" and 56") and this box feels better than them. though, this box has a 5" caster set vs the 6" on the h2pro. the RSpro has physical latches that hold the drawers closed that the h2pro didn't have. also, I like the drawer layout better than the h2pro ... I like the masterforce layout better than the h2pro as well....

and then the kicker is the extra depth vs their h2pro and being about the same money.

can't go wrong for that sort of price, it HF 72" money for way better featured box, proper handle latches, good liners, stainless top, warranty and nice layout and design . look sweet and priced sweet ...

I went and looked at the hf boxes... Given all the positive value talk about them I was disappointed with them. Kind of reconfirmed that the homak boxes were worth a couple hundred more

It's in napa's quarterly tool book. That was the regular price I think.. look at the first pic in this thread. That was taken directly out of that book.

That's money well spent. The box has a lot of features at that price point.

Missed that image pricing .
Makes the HF 72" look overpriced and probably is as they stayed stagnant while competitors been busy in product developments and pricing .
This Homak looking a great top contender for low cost pro usable box or home box .
Will try and get look at one as never touched one to date.

Hey guys, did we ever figure out if the long top drawer had a center slide for support?

Nice box. Looks like a good deal to me. Enjoy. How did you get it home and on the floor @635 pounds?

They loaded with a forklift onto my pickup... And I'm a farmer, so had the forklift available on my end to unload. It's definitely heavy

Any updates/second thoughts from the box owners? I'm thinking about buying one.

Only had it a few weeks, but still like it. Might buy the 41" setup for my other shop. Didn't really want to spend more than $500 though

With much higher pricing. I haven't been able to find any info on these online from NAPA. I've been seriously thinking about the HF 72" as I've outgrown my HF 41 (44") combo. It looks like this box could be worth the extra $$ at least at the Napa pricing...

Street pricing is definitely different than msrp. Look at the pricing on the h2pro on their site vs street pricing.

Imho these boxes are nicer than than the hf boxes.
