The drawers and pulls are more conventional semigloss powder coat which aren't a problem but everywhere you see red is the matte powdercoat. I love my box and I think structurally it'd be fine but just FYI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacob Scutzlas Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Was super siked to finally score one of these. Unfortunately when I opened it up the bottom was pretty seriously damaged. I contacted Milwaukee but they told me to just take it up with HD. However HD has none in stock again so I'm not sure what I can do in the mean time or when I'll be able to get a new bottom. Kind of feeling screwed right now.

JerryNY Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 WOW! That must have been crushed by a forklift or something to buckle like that. They are packaged up so well its ridiculous but that's no minor ding you got! It does suck having to return something that is such a pita to get home and unpacked...

kruton Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 That is frustrating man. Hopefully they can do something for you.Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob Scutzlas Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Tell me about it. Barley fit the set in my SUV too. IDK what did the damage but it was something really heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of feeling screwed right now. Maybe the Home Depot guys were watching that vid Dan and Eric took at the Milwaukee event of how strong their steel is so they wanted to see if would hold up. No matter what happened thats minor... just remember if that was a husky box or other cheap box it would be flattened like a pancake.

JerryNY Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 I don't see HD having any issues taking it back. The problem is they are not in stock in many places because they sell out and there might not be any stock for a replacement. That and the fact that these SOB's are heavy and packed like nuclear warheads making them a pain to deal with. I managed to get the two pieces into my basement and lift the chest on top by myself but It was a struggle even after taking all the drawers out, and I'm not a weakling lol.

DR99 Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 The problem is I don't think Milwaukee has these in their own warehouse. They come over in the shipping container right too Home Depot. The other thing is you can't ship something like this UPS you have to use an special LTL courier which costs more and they might not have an account. I don't know if Milwaukee sells anything else that big and heavy. Still they should make things right!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryNY Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 U thinking about keeping it Jerry?The tool chest or saw? I'm not returning either. The saw with the 60tooth Diablo still has balls for cordless tool and feels great, I was testing it out and really like it. The chest I love too. Built like a tank, I can't believe the photos of the one above buckling like that. I'd think the box too would have been trashed but something must have really put some force down on it to do that kind of damaged during shipping or at the factory in Vietnam..

Went to HD pro desk and used their computer to locate the only store that happened to be 30 miles away that had one 1 box in stock. Bit of a hassle but I'm happy with the box overall. Although I seem to have filled it up more then I thought I would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand how these things are so hard to get a hold of. I would think they would want to keep these in stores considering how well they seemed to sell.
