I've been in the market for yet another tool box for a while now. I have a set of 44" wide Craftsman's i got from Lowe's that are built in Missouri and I've liked them a bunch. But these box was going to be for gunsmithing stuff and guns/outdoor gear and parts since it's my side job and my cabinet was overflowing with stuff. I had a small Kobalt box that was way too full so I decided to clean it out and give it to my wife for arts and grafts stuff. So here are the specs
Milwaukee HD Mobile Tool Cart
Width:52"
Height 44"
Depth:22"
Weight: 393 Lbs
Made in China (yeah I know)
Copied from Milwaukee: The tool storage cabinet is welded with an 18-Gauge steel body on top of a 6-Gauge angle iron base frame for a 2,500 lbs. load weight capacity. The 120 lbs. rated soft close drawer slides. 23,543 cu. in. of storage space, 6-outlet power center with USB ports to charge their battery packs and electronic devices.
My impressions so far: The drawers are weird sizes for many tools but for some one who needs a box for alot of small things and some odd ball longer items it works well. The full width drawers are nice but wish they were different depth, a little deeper but I make it work. One thing I want to say I really like is the big drawers all have double slides which I put in the pictures. The smaller drawers have a single ball bearing drawer slide. Overall they all close much better than my craftsman boxes
Moving this beast around was a breeze and the locking castors was a huge improvement over the Crafstman boxes I own. They also feature grease fittings for anyone who actually moves them around enough to want to do maintenance on them.
The finish on the box is nice is a flat black semi shiny red which I like more than the craftsman box and will hide scratches better I think. The box also comes equipped with bumpers on the corners which is sorta nice but mostly cosmetic in my case. Topped off is a 1.2" wood top that looks like some for of soft wood glue lam type of material. We'll see how that holds up in the long run, but easy to replace. It's held down with a few countersunk screws.
Finally Milwaukee included a charging strip for this cabinet with USB and 110 volt plugs and a huge drawer for your power tools. I'm just using this as extra storage since I have a fully functional storage unit I built directly above where this cabinet is being used. All in all I think compared to what is on the market this wasn't a bad deal. I had a discount and a gift card so I didn't pay full price but I found out that in the market of tool boxes getting something with full width drawers bigger than 40" it was a pretty difficult market without going into the $2500 Snap On / Mac tools world, and Being here in Alaska makes it harder.
