Us pro toolboxes?

[merbie]

It's time for my first big box and I'm looking at the us pro rollcab, it's 42 inches wide and comes with a wood top, what do you guys think? http://www.usprotoolboxes.com/page24.html

Well this is the official HF toolbox fan site.

 

[Brownsfan]

It's the best tool box in the history of toolboxes. Anyone who buys a more expensive box is an idiot and will be publicly humiliated. Just kidding. But am I? Try to start a post about any tool box other than the HF boxes even specify you don't want the HF box. There will be at least 4 recommendations for the HF box. Then you will be told you are financially irresponsible for buying anything else

I'll take that as a green light then lol

Also how do the draws stay shut on the hf cabinets?

There's a team of gnomes holding each drawer closed. Sometimes they get tired though and let one fly.


Really though, its friction.

They have basic detents.

 

[merbie]

Do they not wear and draws drift open?

I haven't seen any report of the drawers having any issues like that.

Do they not wear and draws drift open

The friction stop design is used by several tool box companies and if they are removable they will be replaceable but just not available from HF. I returned a tool chest one time because it can be very annoying and dangerous when several drawers full of heavy hand tools drift open by themselves. HF makes a great advanced user tool box (red) but only comes with a 90 day warranty to discover any issues. I had good experience with the older versions of GripLatch or the locking levers found on the HF 56" or 5 drawer cart (red)

Before I bought my 44 HF I did heavy research here and elsewhere and did come across a few mentions of the drawers drifting open over time.

There's a team of gnomes holding each drawer closed. Sometimes they get tired though and let one fly.

ROTFLMAO!

Also say I wanted to powder coat the draws can you remove the handles and slides?

[Farmall450]

It already is powder coated.

 

[colin39]

The white looks nice but I want the side lockers too so itll be red for me.

 

[merbie]

I mean I I bought it red and wanted black draws

The slides are riveted on, the handles just slide off.

 

[merbie]

So you have to drill out the rivets and re-rivet?

[merbie]

That's a shame:/ I think I'll go for the crinkle finish black, and I guess they must be the English version of the hf boxes, I'm thinking mahogany wood top on mine

Not one picture in this thread?

My guess is it is same as a HF 44".

11 vs 13 drawer, my guess is that the HF 44" is a better value.

 

[merbie]

You can't get hf this side of the pond which ***** yeah the is pro has 4 deeper draws compared to the 2 on the hf

US Pro boxes are NOT the same as US General from HF. The box you're looking at is nothing like the HF 44".

These boxes are hard to find reviews on, but people seem to like them for the price in the UK. From what I have read, these are on par, maybe slightly better quality than a Halfords box.

 

[merbie]

I'll have a look at the tool
Marque tool boxes apparently there pretty good

Well I can get the top box for the cocraft and I'm only 18 so I don't really want to start financing a tool box
