Sears Craftsmen Pro or Gladiator

[pdl2mtl90]

My wife and I are closing on our new house in 2 weeks. Will have a 3 car garage. Trying to nail down which cabinets to go with...Sears Craftsman Professional or Gladiator (the welded ones). They are both priced the same ($399 for the large, $179 for the wall cabinet). Looked at both last night and am leaning towards the Sears Pro. My wife really liked the Sears also. Did a search but didn't get any hits. Wondering if someone has them and can report if they hold up. Don't want to have to buy again in a couple of years. TIA

I have the pro wall ones, no complaints. I don't remember if the gladiators had it or not, but the can storage in the door is a huge bonus, IMHO.

I have a Pro floor cabinet...the big one. I know it's all personal, but I just don;t care for the Gladiators. I use the cabinet for detailing supplies.

Anyhow...my first was so badly damaged inside a box that was fine...it fell apart upon removal. The second has been fine.

I have both and would look for one to go on sale and buy them. They are both nice cabinets, but I would try not to pay full price for either.

I have looked at those and they are all kinda chinsy to me, Really not worth the price even on sale, They are not strong at all.

Yea, the Gladiators just went off sale! Probably try to wait a little and see if they put some on sale again. Still leaning towards Sears Pro cabinets....I think!

Sams club sells some really nice stainless steel cabinets that are actually cheaper than the sears and gladiator cabinets. They look better IMO also.

You can go to their site and check them out. Do a search for garage storage and they should pop up

Costco sells some good garage cabinets as well.

The brand name of the Sam's cabinets is "Seville." The rolling 4-drawer cabinets are $165, the tall rolling cabinets, $188, the bench $199 and the wall cabinets $70. I was surprised at the quality for the price. Here's what they look like:

And a couple of site references I posted on another thread:

Thanks tstukel. I'll check into those. My sister-in-law has a Sam's card.
