DPSElias Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 I am looking to buy a new tool chest as mine are currently full and wouldn't mind to get one for my power tools and one for my automotive. I've looked at the 36in DeWalt set, the 52in Husky set, and then I saw this 46in Milwaukee, too bad they are all slightly different sizes as they are not apples to apples but just looking to see if anyone has the Milwaukee chest.

BK13 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 I've not seen to Milwaukee box yet, but for my mostly mechanics tools, it laid out kinda funny. It would be great for more woodworking or construction-type tools. I have seen the Husky, and wasn't that impressed with the construction of it... sheet metal seemed a little thin. The DeWalt box seemed okay, once again laid out a little funny, and that hideous yellow! If I were looking for a ~$300-500 box, I'd be looking awfully hard at the Harbor Freight units. Huh huh, I said units, huh huh... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiverDn Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Yep, gotta have a unit for your tool.... I like the looks of the Husky's at HD. Haven't seen the Harbor Freight boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPSElias Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Well I just saw one of these at HD and all I have to say is this will be my next box! It has soft closing draws that are awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fazzman Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 I saw these milwaukee boxes at HD today,there really isnt anything great about them.they are cheaply made and dont really offer that much storage. Better of with a box from HF. You want a really well made toolbox get a Kennedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
77Ford01 Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 I am a DeWalt guy but I liked them..... It is no Snap on but for the price point it seemed like a good box for a home owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmikez Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Man Man Man!!!! I regret so bad not picking up one of the Dewalt ones during the holidays they were as low as 3-350$ :/ these are also very nice and the price is not to bad but I'm gonna hold out to see if they get alil cheaper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPSElias Posted May 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 I'm going to wait for Memorial Day to be over to see if they go on sale like the dewalt boxes.I personally like the auto close draws I hate the latching system on the craftsman and I believe HF has a similar system, I like the positive latching of the dewalt and this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankiegarcia19 Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Bought one over the weekend, very happy with it.. Like said above its no snap on or matco or mac. Build quality is the same as dewalt and husky box but there is alot of extra details that this box has over the other two.. Soft close drawers, the laptop shelf drawer actually has detents that lock it in place.. The power tool organizer is pretty cool..the outlets are handy and the peg board seems useful... All in all very good purchase.. And worth the money. Also hanging my chargers on the side is nice saves some space from having them on the side... Post more pictures later on...

Bigmikez Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Congrats and UR lucky Frankie! I would take either brand box man they both look good.i have a snap on one at work and it's not the full box one like these but for what I spent on that I could've bought both milwaukee and Dewalt boxes and had some change left over :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nordraw Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Those Milwaukee boxes are cool as hell. I wish I had the room for another box, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyB Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I gotta get one of these boxes one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasShetley Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 I don't care for the way the drawers are set up on the bottom part but other than that it looks good. It may not be a snap-on or matco box but it also doesn't have their 5k plus price tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecobraclone58 Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 I bought the milwaukee box and love the thing if you organize your tools right it has plenty of room. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryNY Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 I just got one of these 46" boxes and the attention to detail and the consistency all around is impressive for the price. Things like the fact that every screw can be hand tightened all the way to snug with little effort to the fact that they put a grommet on the inside the chest bulkhead where no one will see it, not just on the outside, for the top power cable. Also every screw and bolt is matte black to go with the red matte paint and black hardware on the box save for the casters which are chrome. The casters themselves have the really nice on/off foot toggles not to mention they weigh close to 20lbs by themselves. The boxes are also packed very well, which is great considering how heavy they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Thanks for the impressions Jerry, I haven't seen one of these in the wild yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmikez Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Man today on periscope Dan replaced his dewalt with the new Milwaukee chest and for him to do that tells me that it's an awesome box and I want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
