Take a look at the Husky boxes at Home Depot. IMO, they are better quality than HF and comparable price. I just bought a 84" box from them and am pleased with it.

I don't know that I would say they are better. Definitely better than the Yukon line, but the usg feels more solid to me. I looked at usg, icon, husky and used snap on. I like the positive latching that the husky box i bought has, but none of the other husky had it. Usg, has a latch. Others use friction and the self closing feature to stay closed. If I was rolling a box around, that would scare me.Take a look at the Husky boxes at Home Depot. IMO, they are better quality than HF and comparable price.

That was one of the reasons I didn't buy the USG box. I don't want to deal with a latch to open the drawer and the plastic latch didn't seem very durable. I can see them failing sooner than later.I like the positive latching that the husky box i bought has, but none of the other husky had it.
The husky box I bought has decent self closing drawer glides. I don't think they will open when I move the box around the shop, but that won't happen often.

The usg and snap on latch annoy me so I chose the husky which has a latch similar to the Rousseau or grip latch system which feels more natural.That was one of the reasons I didn't buy the USG box.

Not sure on the brand name I think they're Master force, at Menards if you have one near you they seem to be pretty nice.
thanks for the suggestions guys. neurotic indecision has now taken over!
that's definitely one big Mamaduke!. . . .

If new is a must, I'd go husky heavy duty

x2 on the MasterForce, same quality of the US General different latches.
i like the one on their website because it's muted color & no flashy stuff. like the guys over on HAMB say: chrome don't get you home.
unfortunately the closest store is near Pittsburg & i'm in RI. kind of negates the Memorial Day Sale savings.

Did you do home delivery? If so any damage? The drawer size works perfect for me. The freight damage stories make me nervous.Take a look at the Husky boxes at Home Depot. IMO, they are better quality than HF and comparable price. I just bought a 84" box from them and am pleased with it.

A credit card doesn't change your ability to reject a deliveryto me, i think home delivery would be a plus. and paying with a credit card. any damage can be assessed before signing and contested.
i'd end up giving the equivalent $$$ to whoever helped me get it home anyway.
Yes on home delivery. I was concerned about damage. I took a bunch of pictures before unwrapping the box. some of the cardboard was beat up, but the box was pristine.Did you do home delivery? If so any damage? The drawer size works perfect for me. The freight damage stories make me nervous.
It is a nice box.
