New here! I just picked up this Husky 46" tool chest yesterday from HD. It was on sale for $239.00. I know this is not a Snap On or Mac, but this is a nice upgrade from my small Craftsman box and my cheap Torin stack on chest. Those boxes did their job and now hold extra hand tools and stuff not regulary used. I am just a weekend warrior wrencher and I'm beginning a garage make over. I have a generous 2 car attached. You can tell it's mess in the background. I have a Hobart 175 220v welder, lots of power tools, and some auto dianostic stuff.

Nice! what a deal for 239 bucks. Did it come with the butcher block top?

 

[FOCUS.FREAK]

Welcome! Let us know how you like the box. Can we get some more pictures of the drawers?

Yes, it did. I will take some more pics of it. I really like it, so far. It has ball bearing drawers that slide very smooth. My impacts and air tools are in the bottom drawers and the drawers still slide nicely. The casters seem pretty tough and it rolls great.

I'm going to build a new work bench almost an entire wall in length this box will tuck under it. It's all about making room with my garage facelift.

Most of my hand tools are Craftsman purely because I can afford them and they are readily available. However, I'm not brand loyal.

My co-worker has that same Husky box and it's served him well. Good purchase!

I have been eyeing that husky box for 2 weeks now should have the rest of the money saved too get one in 2 more weeks. Then I will have 2 of my smaller ones on craigslist for sale.

Good buy! I would go take a look at your drawer slides, and make sure they are all riveted to the box and the drawers. I recently bought a Craftsman (Waterloo) and while they had holes for the rivets, there weren't actual rivets used just the tabs. I have gone back and riveted the slides on the box and drawers and WOW what a difference. I'd also check to see if there are spots for more slides on the deep drawers. There are on my Craftsman, and I plan on ordering more to double up all the deep drawers. Just a suggestion to help firm up the box.

 

[Home Wood]

I'll have to look into adding rivets. Good call!

 

[Haveblue]

239 bucks! Thats a nice score! Very nice looking box there Homey!

 

[bobemmerich]

Zkling, they do flex some, but I don't have them overloaded, and I'm only a DIY wrencher now, so it works.
Homewood, I had the 52" version of that box for awhile, it was a nice box and held lots of stuff. I just can't seem to find a box drawer set up I actually like. I keep trying different ones. LOL
That 52", I do regret selling, but at the time I needed the cash. Good luck with it. And WELCOME to the GJ!

Nice setup Matt and welcome. That looks like a nice older Snap on top box maybe? The flashy wheels on the newer bottom boxes always crack me up.

 

[Home Wood]

Here ya go. The two red boxes are what I've been working with for years.

 

[SQ is the SQUAD]

this is my HF train. the far right box i purchase with the $349 coupon. the middle box i brought as a brand new open box return for like $125 and the far right box i brought as an open box damage. the upper left corner was diner. i wanted to say i paid $150 is for it.

So I won't be too hard on you because i'm almost 60 and I don't have a bench set up with all that storage. and yours is on wheels too. does it actually roll around or is it full of tools and pretty much staying where it is?

where did you find that set up or did you make it yourself???

 

[Syntax_Error]

Wow. That looks like a lot of weight on only 4 casters. Must be pretty heavy duty.

 

[Radio Ron w4ron]

Welcome to the group, I sure won't be hard on you, I like your box.
Shows use I like patina.
Nice box.

Awesome idea to use the end box to tie the two 44's together. Best of luck.

I sure ain't gonna be hard on you. That set up is NICE! I would be happy with that. Oh yeah, Welcome to GJ!

 

[Hpozzuoli]

Total newbie here. Just started to acquire tools a few weeks ago, but this is what I have so far...

The new toolbox/workbench:

Filled five of the drawers so far:

I know this is a comment on a very old post but nice garage and video. I especially love the urinal out in the open just hanging out

 

[Stroked383]

First post should be in let's see your tool box right? My little 6s that pays my bills.

 

[Stroked383]

[jthomas944]

Here is my set up. How do you like it?

Im wondering if he swapped the castors from end to end on the box on the far left and then bolted the 3 together if it would be steerable to move around.
It would end up and be like a Kennedy machinist box with the 6 wheels (on steroids) with the solid wheels in the center and steering on both ends...

I love the set up, especially if you were in an assigned bay where you would not be moving it at all.

Very nice.

 

[Adam McLaughlin]

Hey I like the side locker on the end of the Blue Matco box!
Stroked383 way to go
Very nice!

I dig it. Gives me ideas for my future

 

[JonnySledge]

Here's my setup at the shop I work at.

Snap-on KRA2106 Roll cab and KRSC33 cart

I keep screwdrivers and pry bars in the top portion and use the center as a mobile station.

Air tools and "inspection" tools in the top drawer of the cart.

Brake tools in the 2nd drawer of the cart.

Assorted stuff in the bottom drawer of the cart.

I keep all my sockets in the top drawer. 1/2", 3/8", 1/4" sockets, ratchets, etc.

My wrench drawer.

Plier drawer.

I call this my measurement drawer, but it also has some electrical tools in it.

This is my persuaders drawer.

More random ****.

I keep my rags, fender covers, and other daily use stuff on this shelving unit next to my work bench.

 

[TorqueBangers]

NOW it's a party!

 

[Requin6]

Just traded out my Craftsman 26 for a HF 56. Took the wheels off and squeezed it under my workbench. Kept the Craftsman side cab for extra storage.



A couple drawers....






What you do think?

 

[JazRedGT]

Very nice setup. Perfect fitment too.

 

[90zcar]

Very nice requin6! Id like to see more pictures of the rest of your drawers and how you have them set up as it's very similar to mine and I also have the 56" box which I got this past august. More pics!!
