Would like to know the COO. I was under the impression that all Gladiator stuff was made in the USA...certainly the 30" storage cabinets are but I went into Sears today and noticed that their GearWall panels are made in Taiwan so now I'm suspect. They had these 41" cabinets in the store at $500...and I kind of liked them better than my existing 42" International cabinets. The drawers are a bit smoother and the box is about 75lbs heavier than the International ones I have. I'm thinking of selling my International cabs in favor of these but not if they're made in China. If anyone knows, please share....

I have no idea, but in this day and age I would be shocked if those where made here. Hopfully I wrong.

Well that's what I thought but the 30" storage cabinets are Made in the USA. Even have a sticker inside of the cabinet that says so. So I figured if those are made here, why not the tool chests?

I contacted Gladiator about their 26" tool chests they said that the GATC26P3WG, GATC26P6WG, and GATR27P7WG were made in China, while the GearDrawer (GAGD275DRG) and GearChest (GATC26P8WG) are made in the United States. So i would think the 41" could be either. They responded quickly to my email so i would suggest just emailing or calling them and asking to be sure.

Those are Chinese in the US Sears. Ironically, go to Canada and those same units are made in the USA.

Not a very good buy either way. The 30" tall boxes I was able to score for around $230 + tax but felt that tool box was overpriced. Go HF.

I bought 3 of the 30" units, decided I didn't need the 3rd and sold it on CL for a slight profit. Great pieces of equipment when you can get a good deal on them, go thru ebates to get more $$ cash back.
