I'm interested in the 22" side cabinet as well. I like the locker but, feel the 22" side cabinet would be better for me. I will look at getting the locker once I get my hands on the side cabinet.

The boxes or lockers?
It appears both Homak and Napa raised the prices on these boxes by 100 dollars within the last few weeks, and their website indeed does list them all out of stock, which is odd.

The boxes are nice and they do come with 2 casters but over $400 seem like alot
I couldn't find the installation instructions for the RS 22" locker so I'm going to call Homak and see if they will send me the instructions. I assume it's the same as the H2 19". If I read it correct it just bolts to the side and casters support it. Unlike the KRL712 that gets most of the load on the lip that hangs then you secure it with bolts.
Just will have to measure it right and drill new holes in the locker for my KRL722/791.

Actually it looks like the depth is too deep on that one. This one may be closer.

When my Green 72" was bought it was "out of stock" nationwide at the time and then apparently one popped up in inventory in Seattle so my girlfriends Uncle who works for Napa got it secured for me. He said they're having huge issues with supply on these boxes right now, mostly due to the amount of them they are receiving that are damaged. I'm glad to have got mine though, very impressive box.

Agreed, been working outta mine for a week and love it. At the prices we paid a month ago it was a great deal. I've been rolling mine around and the thing moves damn well to boot.

I have been experimenting with how i use the drawers. Really struggling to use the deeper drawers of my 41” RS Pro. I will say the Ernst 3-compartment drawer organizers fit like a glove. Just note that you cannot position them front to back in the shallow drawers as they interfere with the drawer latch.

Great organizing! If you don't mind sharing, what are the black rectangular organizer bins? Are these a name brand, amazon purchase, or ?????????

Finally got my blue 54 inch top and bottom boxes in yesterday from Napa. The issue is that I had to rent a trailer just to get them home. Once I opened them I noticed 2 - 3 small dents and marks in the paint on each of the boxes. I will will say they are small and do not hinder the box in any way. I called the manager at Napa and sent him pictures. He said he will call Homak on Monday. What should I expect from them? What would you guys do?

Unless you paid a “scratch and dent” discounted price, I would be getting them exchanged at no cost for another set that has no damage. A hassle, sure, but would be worth it to me to not start out with damage on an investment that large.

Agreed wtih Craftfab. When my box arrived, I went over it in detail. Saving a $100 now but having a dented box for the next 20 years....
How far is that dent from the right side, near the RS sticker? I have a very similar dent and it looks much smaller than yours that I didnt notice, but same spot. I thought my coworkers had already ran into my box but now I'm not so sure. Mines very small in comparison, but with the size of yours I'd ask for money off, or exchange and free shipping on their dime

Homak RS-Pro 72" Tool Box
Anyone looked into why the bottom drawers tend to be really really tight to close?
My 41” does the same as some reported here. Latch mechanism is good, but you have to apply a lot of force to push the drawer fully closed.

Yarpo,
The dent is about an 1/8 deep on both sides of the bottom. It is as if they used a forklift to lift the bottom box on to the shipping pallet. Both boxes had small flaws and scratches in the paint as well. As stated before...it doesn't have any issues with opening and closing any of the drawers. I know that I am being a little ****, but I believe that it shouldn't have any dents or scratches being brand new.

Well for the 72" combo my Napa said there was a green in Sacramento and a blue in Seattle. I'm not paying additional freight charges so I'll probably just wait or find another solution

Just an fyi to those having the same problem I had with Napa charging freight. I spoke with another store, they did some research. From what I have now been told, when ordered these boxes should ship to Napa directly from Homak, prepaid freight so there shouldn't be any additional shipping. If Napa is trying to move their current inventory around rather than ordering direct from Homak, that my be the reason for the additional freight cost.
All that said.. I should be receiving my 72" combo in the next few days.

This is what my local store told me yesterday.
At Homak's website no color of the 72" combo shows available.

.....aaanndd update 1 day later and most colors show available on Homak's site. As of typing this the blue & orange still show UNavailable
$2500 and no tax is way better than $2400 + 8% at my Napa. I ordered a green today

Grats! Cant wati for pics!
I had no issues getting my **** from Homak, took maybe 2 or 3 weeks before it shipped, but once it shipped I think I had it in about 5 or 6 days. Love my box btw and the stainless work top is the best part about it. Been working out of it for a month now and while I know that's not a lot, 10 hours a day adds up fast.
