Harbor freight tool box

[donfrye]

I have no idea why the site kept changing my link to an eBay auction but the one I posted was only 498 for a 41" box.

I'm going with this one and getting rid of my two smaller Craftsman one's. Like Fastbird I want the work space on top. I was looking at the HF one's but then I found this one as an online only. It's deeper and a little bit wider than what I was considering from HF. I've heard lots of good things about the HF boxes though.

Ive been looking around and Im gonna go with this Harbor freight box(If I get this job) Foudn a coupon online for 100 off, Makes it 699 and just a damn good deal.
Ive bought some stuff from HB over the years but Ive noticed you have to be careful nowadays. Some of their stuff is way overpriced compared to other brands that are no doubt better.

I have a couple different boxes and the US general pro stuff is pretty good, but I'd get some of the higher end in store craftsman boxes. The drawer weight ratings are higher and they open smoother not to mention the grip latch is a nice touch. The 52" top and bottom combo can be had for around $800 if you time it right and has a lifetime warranty iirc.

Just need a bottom box. Didnt know you could get a craftsman for that kind of money. Ill look into them before I buy one. Keep looking on Craigslist for a deal. I always see them till I actually need one now

Craftsman boxes do NOT carry a lifetime warranty. I have a Craftsman ball bearing griplatch 40" bottom and top box, and would trade those in a heartbeat for one of the HF boxes. Having played with both I can honestly say the HF box is far ahead in build quality. Granted my Craftsman combo is.......about 11 years old now or so.......can't compare to the newest offerings though they look the same to me.

Did you get the 52 or 41?

I've handle both of their most recent offerings and the craftsman is better built IMO. They do have a lifetime warranty. This is the bottom half of the combo.

I paid $999 for the combo on black Friday a few years ago. The price fluctuates year round and was actually $799 a few weeks ago. The drawer weight ratings are higher than the US general pro. The problem with the craftsman boxes like many manufacturers is that they are made by a 3rd party and quality will differ between models and years.

Craftsman added the warranty to the higher models a few years ago, I was told this when I bought mine since the older models were still there and didn't carry the same warranty.
