US PRO Toolbox

[Alowes2837]

Has anyone ever heard of US PRO toolbox's. I bought mine off the bay here in the UK and think it is great. I find it just as nice as the snap on ones and probably better than britool, facom etc. It has fully roller bearing slides and its smooth as silk and handles most of my heavy stuff such as 3/4 drive sets with no problem. I have just never seen them anywhere other than on ebay uk and only the one guy who sells them. I got mine about 2 years ago for 800 pounds sterling about at the time equivalent to $1600. Sorry for lack of pound symbol but us pc no button for that.

Looks nice, btw i see your missing tools under the box. You can thank me later.

 

[Alowes2837]

Thanks I know they are there but they dont fit inside as the large drawer has sockets in as well as the top, I need to take the sets out of thier box's and put them on rails or similar. The tools under the box are a set of bolt cutters, a large rivet gun and a pair of large crimping pliers. Thanks

Sort of reminds me of HF US General boxes.

Thats what I was thinking... the handles, corners, etc all look like US General. I'm assuming the same company markets them in the UK as US Pro. Seem to be tough as nails boxes and most people here love em.

sure looks like the harbor freight/us general to me. i have the bottom cabinet and i am happy with it. my only complaint is i wish the the top and sides had some shallower drawers to store screwdrivers and other thin tools that do not need a deep drawer.

Bumping old post, sorry. Anyone else familiar with "US PRO" boxes?

 

[MagnumForce]

Those side cabs are identical to my us general pro one

Looks identical to the US General toolbox I have from Harbor Freight.

The Sealey ones are called American pro the older ones were made in the USA not sure who the original manufacturer was, very well made however, on par with Snap on and Mac, I have a really beat up one i got for free, been looking for a better condition one for my 'home' box though

Not sure if the current American pro boxes are still US made, as most of sealeys tools are Taiwan made now iirc.


I think the Us pro ones may be from Taiwan too, but they do seem decent , friend of mine has one, which cost him £400 or so, good value for the quality, pretty well made and finished for the price

Here is a seller in the UK.

I am looking for decent size box for work. It seems I have to import one myself - the current offerings over here are limited. I would get the HF 56" without hesitation but I fear shipping will be costly and troublesome. Shipping from Europe is usually lot cheaper. If US PRO is on par with US General from HF it is probably worth considering.

I find it interesting the UK web site shows a 72" stainless box identical to one offered on German Ebay. However the weight is said to be 326kg vs only 150kg for the one from Germany

I'm thinking of purchasing the 44 in black to replace my snap on box

It appears to be the US General 44" box with 11 drawers instead of 13. It has two deep drawers that the US General 44" does not.

Cheaper still:

Perhaps but I like the crinkle finish black on the U.S. Pro box
