khariV Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 I was in the the depot today picking up some nails and saw this beast of a tool chest. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-52-in-W-20-in-D-15-Drawer-Tool-Chest-and-Cabinet-Textured-Black-H52CH6TR9/206828259 At $698, it's the same price as the Milwaukee but I'm going to out on a limb and say that, in person, it's almost better looking than the red one. The textured black finish is amazing and quite different from the glossy finish most toolboxes have. It really looks like it would be at home in Darth Vader's shop, it's that cool. Soft close, lined drawers, dual power strip too. I'm seriously contemplating getting one, but I might feel bad for not getting the Milwaukee so I might end up having to get both if it comes to that! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like this toolbox as well. Husky's new toolboxes are really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw this tool box at Home Depot as well and I must admit it is a very handsome and impressive piece. Well worth the money. Sturdy and convenient. I'll probably pick one up 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 I really want that new Husky box its sharp and has an awesome price price point for garage tool box. Home Depot and Husky kill the tool box offerings at Lowes Look at how much more the Kobalt Stainless one is lets just say out the door with tax you looking at 2k https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-68-7-in-x-53-in-18-Drawer-Ball-Bearing-Stainless-Steel-Tool-Cabinet/50175955 The buyers from Lowes need to realize people are not going to pay those kind of prices on a tool box from a big box store. At that point I would start taking a peak at tool truck chests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 I'll tell you what though I went to open a drawer at HD on this box and it didn't open as smooth, on top of that having to jerk it to get it open I almost tipped the box, the casters weren't locked so it just slid around, now the older box didn't have an issue, kind of a bummer these are sweet looking chestsSent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stercorarius Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Saw some smaller ones. They had that Kennedy style finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if they are made by the same company or at least use the same slides as Milwaukee. They're a lot nicer than the Husky box I own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnarlyCarl Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 And to think I blew $4000 on a SnapOn Classic 96 ..... Didn't even have half the features of this Husky. 4 years later I sold it for $2700, and that could still buy several of these 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plumbfitter Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 They dont offer the all black version up here. They have a similar one. Black texture but chrome handles. And it comes at 56 inch. Its sweet. I added LED strip lighting to mine. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh, I thought I saw a husky one with a Kennedy finish but the ones at HD were more like just a cheap feeling hammered looking finish. Pass.

Nordraw Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Can't go wrong with the Husky boxes that is something that they do well and always have. The black finish is very nice and I wish I had room for another box but no dice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumbfitter Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 I honestly would have never considered a husky box if it wasnt for the video Dan and Eric did on them last month. Thats what sold me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrich1 Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 I think people need to look at drawer configuration before the looks of a box. I love my Milwaukee box but sometimes whish it was oriented differently. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmikez Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 I have the 52inch that I bought last Black Friday and was planning to add another if the price was right again but that new style looks sweet wouldn't mind adding that one to the shop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need more wide drawers for my needs. Depth would also be nice. This box is pretty nice, it would be nice if they had two of the wide drawers on the top of the bottom box. I'm not really sure about the deep split drawer on the bottom of the top box either. I guess you can put your drills/impacts there and wrenches in the top of the bottom box but that seems backwards to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metaljunkie Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 I also looked at those HD boxes when trying to find a tool chest for my metal lathe, but there wasn't one around that fit my needs since the lathe is so big. I thought the Husky boxes from Home Depot had the kobalt boxes beat hands down just by price alone. I've always been a big Lowes fan because my wife worked there for so many years and the military discount they give me. The Husky boxes I did look at in person were of good quality for the price point, they just were not big enough for my lathe so I had to build one myself. Between a husky box and a Milwaukee box, I would lean toward the Milwaukee. They are sharp and would look great in my little apartment.

I dont have it loaded with hundreds of pounds of tools and wrenches. Its mainly for my crappy tools i keep at the house instead of pulling my good ones out of the van. I do wish it had the slow close drawers. Other than that, its a really nice box. 698$ canadian. Cant really go wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
