New Carlyle Toolboxes vs HF US General and ICON

[Next]

Carlyle

ICON

US General

Looking at stats, seem to be placed right in between US General and ICON?

Anyone got their hands on one?

 

[Mr_B]

If you add in the equation the ICON fairly easy get around 20% off with in store reductions and credit card deal and perhaps even a simple 20% icon storage coupon code and fact box actually bigger capacity the Napa not such a good deal .
Best deal is always used market but if can't sort used milking ICON at lowest possible discounted price is not a bad option .

Where are the coupons for ICON? Discounts outside the CC?

NAPA is fairly easy to get 10% off.

Certainly an interesting layout. Bulk storage would be a non issue with the deeper drawers.

The Napa branded boxes in Canada are Homak.

 

[Mr_B]

Yeah the carlyle are Homak made but to slightly different/lesser layout/spec than the Homak RS Pro .

one very recent thread by hibill on how he got 20% off this very 73" (most HF managers do you 10% in store for a start)
The Carlye boxes are short on height and drawers and fall short on storage vs a truck box or ICON because of it .

The thread you refer to. . .

And how the heck did a thread about tool boxes get shut down???

Saw that the other day.
Gonna say "Because people were turning it into personal attacks" or something similar...

I suspect you could do better with harbor freight than Carlyle, but I don’t regularly check out Napa’s sale fliers and coupons etc. so there might be more wiggle room than I think.

Napa is releasing new Carlyle toolboxes last quarter this year. (yep, very soon) Supposedly they are to directly compete with Snap-On Epic and are not simply rebadged Homak like in Canada. I will be interested to hear about them in more detail. They've done a couple teasers on the Carlyle social media page but haven't given up much info yet or detailed information.

I have a pretty high opinion of Homak, but they're at a higher price level.

I'm looking for a new box. Following.

The deep top drawer pisses me off. Total waste of space for how most people use their box.

Personally I could not disagree more. Deeper top allows me the ability to stand a bunch of sockets up.

Yeah, mine is full, all on Hansen type holders,
Doesn't everyone put their sockets in that drawer ? lol

 

[merkyworks]

Speaking as someone who had shallow top drawer and sockets laid down, versus now having deep top drawer and sockets standing up. I will take sockets standing up every time! Better organization and space usage.

 

[The Frisco Kid]

There are going to be three levels of the Carlyle boxes. 1500, 2500, and 3500. I haven't seen one in person yet.

You could fit about 3 deep sockets standing on each other with how deep it is. You can almost stand an impact wrench up on end in it. It's about 25% deeper than any other top drawer I've ever seen.

I assume you mean the Carlyle, which I'll admit I didn't realize was as deep as it is, so that's a fair point. I think the Icon/USG look like they are a good balance but to each their own.

Does this mean that they will have 1/4, 1/2 and 1 ton capacity? They must be pretty stout.
