Im looking for people who have one of the 42" harbor freight tool chests. I'm looking at buying the top, bottom and side chest of drawers.. I want your reviews. ....I hear they are made by the same company that makes the tool chests for matco, just a grade lower. I have read the reviews online and I am strongly leaning towards one. I'm just looking for a local review or 2. If you have one please email me and tell me what you reslly think of it and how long you have had it.

Thanks

I recall reading somewhere on here that someone said the HF and Matco service carts were made in the same plant over seas. I dont believe everything on the internet though.

HAHA, what a douche, everyone knows they are made by Snap On.

Some of the carts are made by PTP overseas. It's the MSC4 series & below. The higher end carts are made in Jamestown, New York.

you have that backwards. HF makes them for Snap On.

daveblank, tell us more about "PTP"; I'm trying to search for their website and more info..... have a full name of the company?

Maybe he couldn't tell the difference (in term of quality) that he assume Matco and HF boxes are the same.

No One Told Him That - Nor Did He Say That.

He said he had heard that the same company in China made both the US General Pro's and Matco Boxes in China. Quite possible...

FWIW,

Ptofessional Tools Products. They are a company that makes tools & things for the tool companies.

I can see some similarities to my Mac service cart; I can see the OEM similarities to other branded service carts out in the market place...
