I sold my Husky and bought the top and bottom HF 56 inch (first gen) over three years ago and absolutely love it. I actually bought the (deeper) side 7 drawer side cabinet when I had the Husky. About a year ago I bought the 5 drawer service cart but after using it a while it didn't fit my home hobbyists ways (I don't roll tool boxes around, I use the HF three shelf cart) so I gave it to my son and I replaced it with the 26 inch bottom cabinet. I like the 26 but I wish there were two deeper drawers instead of the three shallow top drawers. Hindsight being better vision i should've bought the 44 inch rather than the 26 inch but it's a plus for my son since he'll get the 26 when I get the 44 lol. Edit: I ordered and received the fabric tape after watching your tape clip so that's going to happen to all my HF boxes. Thanks
I've had the same box for about a year now as well and followed your instructions to put rivets in the slides and my box has held up great. Awesome box, awesome video. Thanks.
I looked at these today and the metal on the box is plenty thick for a Tool box but the slides are real trash. Can you purchase better slides for the drawers?
I’ll let you know Jim.. I just noticed one of my slides is coming apart. I will be posting a new video on the problem and the fix for it in the very near future.
What’s the rating on the drawers? Like 100lbs, 200lbs, 300lbs? I’m having a hard time finding this info. On Harbor freight they say 4,400 lbs max but I want to know individually. Kind of like the dewalt.
I have probably 200k in snapon and tool truck tools. The biggest roll cart snapon makes. And a us general 55 bottom box. In the biggest drawer which is the top and bottom I'd say I probably have 150 easy in the top and about the same in the bottom. One thing I noticed about them is they slide even nicer the heavier they get.
I seem to remember 100 lbs per drawer for a single slide and 200 lbs for the bottom drawer that has 2 slides.. regardless, I’ve had zero issues with weight
Really nice setup in that garage. You obviously take pride in your gear!
Been waitin for this update for awhile, the box looks great man. Thanks for all the tips and info

Glad to help. Thanks
Thanks for the review and your time.
Im impressed. I may end up getting a box setup like yours. I’m needing volume with a small price tag in my new shop situation
You won’t be disappointed once you do the squeaky drawer fix. Thanks for watching.
Informative video! Thanks. Thinking seriously about buying this 56 inch set.
Love your old S-K tools...
Thanks, I’m a BIG SK fan boy
These boxes have come quite a long way. Great for home use.
Looks great after a year!
mechanicmike Thanks Mike!
Looks slick with the black trim. Thanks for the update.
The box is looking good 👌
After seeing this I had to buy my box in red too. I blacked out the handles but am curious, what did you use to black out the vertical trim??
Same tape, check out my other video, I show you how to do it and the supplies you will need. Thanks for watching!
Thanks!
