No, it can't be. Afer all, this is what the Northern Tool site says...

Extra-heavy-duty tool chest from Torin was developed exclusively for Northern Tool customers!

Its not like those two boxes look similar or anything...

Yeah - Just like the Workforce rolling benches I picked up from Home depot that look similar to these

To the OP-
What are you looking for in a tool box-
Do you specifically want the 50+" top drawer and side cabinet config-

Would the HF 41" cabinet + 1 or 2 side cabinets not be enough.
I understand there may be less volume since the 56" box is deeper than the 41" box.
(I am planning on picking up the HF 90320 this week )

I could see where you'd use the side lockers on the job where you need to lock up larger boxed stuff, but for homeowner use I just put that stuff on a shelf so I'd rather see drawers there insead of lockers.

Just thought it was a great price for two pieces at Costco, 999.99 Canadian, since their 41in. stainless box is 799.99. Last box I would have to buy.

I have the 56 inch set from Harbor Freight. If you are close to a store, special order them, THEY PAY SHIPPING, you pick it up at the store with a trailer.

The Torin box you linked for 999 is just the
"Torin 56in. Bottom 11-Drawer Rolling Cabinet"
doesn't include the top-

the top is an addtl $650

Yes,I used the northern link because Costco did not have it on either site. I guess it is a store item only. Like I said $999.99 for two pieces great deal. Sorry, just got back from Xmas shopping, they put the the price up today to $1099.99, still a great deal!

I've had this box for a few months now (purchased at Costco), and am very satisfied with the value. It is much better than what is available at Canadian Tire and/or Sears, for less money.

The only thing I don't really like about the box is the finish. It's textured, and I prefer the look of a nice polished finish.

I'd rather have this one from Kennedy:

I'd rather have that as well. But that cabinet alone lists for 3 times what it cost me for the Torin cabinet & chest. Hardly comparable.

So let me get this straight: you and Da Bull both have the same kind of box and you both got them at COSTCO?

 

[Da Bull]

Yes they have it at Costco, in Canada. I don't if all the stores carry the same products. I didn't get for Christmas, but my birthday is coming up soon. Hint hint!!!!!!!!!!

I bought the 56" chest & cabinet for $1099 at Costco. I had been looking for a new toolbox for a number of weeks, and was about to pull the trigger on a Waterloo Traxx combination when I ran across the Torin unit @ Costco. The Torin was 1/3 the price of the Waterloo, larger, and fairly equivalent in terms of quality. It looked like the best value I'd seen yet, so I bought it.
