- Before you can do a Tool Box Tour you have to take Delivery of your Brand NEW toolbox. Today we will take delivery of a brand new Harbor Freight ICON toolbox which is a massive upgrade from the previous 26" Craftsman. While the Craftsman had lots of drawers it didn't have a lot of room. This video will be part two of a multi-part series an this is prior to the toolbox tour which I promise we will do!
Part One - The Purchase - What to Expect when you are Expecting an ICON toolbox purchased
• Harbor Freight ICON To...
I am really excited for you to come along and see what it feels like to take delivery of a brand new toolbox! It's almost like buying a new car but I expect this to last a lifetime and it also comes with a lifetime warranty from Harbor Freight tools.
We will plan on doing upgrades to this like swapping out two smaller drawers for one larger one and getting new locks so they are all keyed the same. Possibly even putting on a butcher block top on the 22" end cabinets so we can mount a vise to it.
This is not a snap on toolbox or a Snap on EQIP Unboxing This compares more to a Compare to Snap-On KRL or Snapon Master Series box. Now let's get onto taking delivery, do an unboxing, and attach the side cabinet.
ICON 36 In. X 25 In. Professional Roller Cabinet - Green unboxing video
www.harborfreight.com/36-in-x...
Built with the strongest steel and precision reinforced welds, Icon™ storage is tough enough for the daily grind of a busy shop…and you don’t have to break the bank to get the tool cabinet you deserve. Every Icon™ cabinet features a double-wall steel frame for ultimate strength. Industry-leading 16-gauge top and outside panels prevent dents and withstand the demands of daily use, and 18-gauge inside panels evenly support drawer and slide weight. Structural corner brackets prevent cabinet twist and racking. Under every Icon™ roller cabinet, three 14-gauge U channels distribute weight evenly to the industry-leading 2,000-pound-rated suspension casters with easy locks, so these boxes glide into place easily and stay in place securely. With a staggering 8,000-pound capacity, Icon™ roller cabinets are more than double the overall weight capacity of comparably sized Snap-On cabinets. These boxes are beautiful. Their premium ultra-tough powder-coat finish will withstand harsh chemicals and provide a showroom finish that looks like new, even after years of punishing use. Every drawer features the highest-quality ball bearing full extension drawer slides that support up to 265 pounds per set-or 530 pounds for drawers with double slides-even more than Snap-On’s Masters Series. An adjustable-force drawer latch system lets you dial-in just the right amount of force to keep drawers from opening when they should be closed. And heavy-duty non-slip drawer liners will keep your tools in place...right where you put them. Icon™ storage features an integrated power system. The convenient exterior power is equipped with two fast-charging USBs and two 110V outlets. An advanced locking system turns your tool cabinet into a vault to keep your valuable tools safe and secure. The interchangeable core lock comes with security milled keys that allow you to key-alike all your Icon™ storage units as you expand.

Love that Green! Matches My Kawasaki. I'd love to Trade out of the Red and into that Green and Black one day. I'm very Greatfull to have the one that I've got. Just wish it was Green with Black Trim. Love it. Congratulations Chris on your New Box. Cheers!
The mean green machine! Looks good thanks for sharing.
That is a very nice cabinet! Thanks for sharing!
I had the Matco 8 drawer single bay for the longest time. I always wanted to put spring caster and a vice. I really like this. Badass!!
The colors are awesome!
I'm Really digging the icon box, its beautiful. Congratulations
Thank you, appreciate you watching and commenting👍
@@ClientGraphics can you do an updated please on the tool chest like what's inside how it is 🙊🙊🙊
congratulations on the new box, looks great.
I wish they still sold the 36” box
Good video Chris looks great
Looks beautiful
Pretty sharp setup chris i like the colorway
Thanks for the vid, looks like an excellent box.
That sure is a sharp toolbox. Hope it works out well for ya'!
sweet looking tool box and side cabinet. time for a tour!
I’ll get things situated and get a tour together. I’m trying to organize and figure out what I need to order and then will have a second tour.
You can easily remove the drawers to remove weight that helped me with the us general end cabinet.
Removing just the top drawer would have been helpful for picking it up and grabbing the inside.👍
I thought the same thing.
Looks great Chris. Perfect timing on this. My 56" shows up tomorrow. Ordered on M-day weekend so just 2.5 weeks to delivery. Thanks HF. Stainless top and hutch will be next. Looking forward to your upcoming mods and a toolbox tour if you get to it. Thanks for posting.
Congrats that’s exciting! Don’t forget the ramp in the bottom drawer and a #2 screwdriver to get the pallet apart. What color did you get?
@@ClientGraphics Went with red. Not a huge fan of the green, but I do like the black trim.
@@ClientGraphics can you do a tool box tour 😍😍😍
I like that toolbox it looks about the right size but I am having a difficult time even justifying the similar size US General. $$$
I just got the icon. The metal thickness is way better quality than the general. Also there is alot of wiggle movement in the general drawers. The wheels on the icon are better quality and more weight bearing. US General is alot cheaper but icon is a better box
I think it's pretty cool. I bought my SO KRL1001A over 20 years ago, have the side box with SS tops. I still love it.
chris nice box !! looks like its going to serve you well
Thanks for the video! I have been lurking ICON videos like this for some time and really enjoyed this one. A large box ICON setup is definitely on my list - just putting the pennies away :) What I find very interesting is the number of comments that say either a) Way too expensive for a "Harbor Freight" box, or b) Snap-On is much better quality. As to the first, I see this as the same as Hyundai. When Hyundai started to build better cars, people couldn't imagine paying $20, 30, 40k or more for a Hyundai. History has clearly shown that they are a true competitor now and anyone who has ever been in them and owned them has to acknowledge that the value and quality you get is pretty hard to beat, and they have made other manufacturers change their model (better quality, lower cost, and longer warranties.
As for the Snap-on comments, I truly hope folks have that are making these comments have actually touched the HF ICON boxes. As someone who has been around Snap-On boxes for many years, the ICON boxes, in my opinion, are absolutely in the same league - and for much, much less. Regardless of whether you agree with me or not, one thing that is for certain, is that competition is good for us all. Even if you are a "Snap-On" forever kind of person, we can almost guarantee, this will drive prices down ultimately.
Just my .02. Thanks again for the video!
Looks amazing, how exciting to get it all in and then filled up!
It’s amazing and frustrating at the same time. It’s like I need more space when I really need to get more organized.
Very nice box im purchasing the triple bay with hutch , stainless top and the locker, can't wait
That exciting what color did you get. Make sure you remember to use the ramp and have something to take the pallet apart. I’m not sure how the hutch and triple bay come but you might need a second person to help with that.
@@ClientGraphics yup, there will be two of us, I'm matching it to my snapon epic toolbox both will be the extreme green
That Green with the black Trim Is Stunning
Those Icon tool boxes look pretty good. I have two of the older HFT tool carts.
Ok. Giving you that little ramp ready to go is a fantastic touch of end user details
That looks so awesome! Congratulations! Last Christmas I bought the US General 26" box and chest. I would have loved to have a Icon, but I am only a hobbyist so the US General will do for now.
Nice box! Love the green, and I don't usually like green lol
Nice box!
Nice. Congrats
Thanks buddy👍
Wow Chris I'm so jealous bro!
Nice box 👍
My 56" green with black trim Icon is being delivered next Thursday. Finally huehue
how long did delivery take for you?
@@dabaydestrian437 About a month. Just came in today. There was a mix-up and delivery was a few days late. It seems HF and the third party delivery company don't communicate much but it's finally here thankfully.
@@MrTmenzo damn.. so long, i wish it was a week or 2. i really need it
I like the presentation and its great information
The green look so nice chris congrats. I also want to see your tools arrangements inside the box.
Love the color
This is exactly the kind of video I was waiting for, with EXACTLY the color I wanted
Orange with black trim would be 👌👌👌
Looks great! The black trim sets off the bright green just right.
The green and black gas absolutely been a favorite of mine. I would Plasti-Dip the chrome strips on the US General.
For me, I decided 2 smaller boxes like 2- 27" wide ones side by side would work better than one very big box. This is because they are so heavy. Yours looks really nice and you must have a very understanding wife letting you get that box.
Size can be an issue for sure. I really don’t want one big drawer and would rather have two smaller assuming they are a decent size. I’ll most likely get another 22” end cabinet, but have been contemplating just getting another 36” and out the 22” cabinet I already have in the middle.
neutrodyne free from HF for promoting all HF tools, just like the Hercules drill he used to assemble it... overpriced junk...
I bought the 44" US General roller and top chest 6-8 years ago. To this day I still think their US General line is one of the best value items they have. Icon's certainly are very nice, but at that price point, not sure I see quite the value proposition of the US General.
If the US General works that’s awesome. I enjoy my 5 drawer cart and the 44” US General was on my list when I was looking. I almost got the 44 with two side cabinets but went ICON instead. I have some fascination with side cabinet not sure why.
@@ClientGraphics I have 2 of the series one 44" roller and upper boxes and 2 of the 22" side cabinets and a locker all bolted together in my shop at home. I think they are best value for the money and since I am retired now I don't need anything more industrial then this. I went my entire career with a 26" Waterloo roller and upper with a Matco side box I acquired along the way. After 35 years of aviation I bailed out three years ago and bought the US General boxes as a retirement gift to myself. Then Icon was introduced earlier this year. What I have works great for me but if someone is just starting out I think Icon would be and are a viable option.
I think it’s awesome to hear you say you went your entire career with smaller boxes than you have at home and are now retired. I’m hoping I can do that with what I have and upgrade again later in 25 years.
@@ClientGraphics I never thought of upgrading when I was working as I was always a cheap Charlie. I truly thought the truck boxes were way overpriced for what you get a place to store tools. After I retired and had all the tools home I absolutely had overwhelmed the Waterloo box as I also had 40 years of tools scattered all over the shop. I took measurements of the area I wanted my toolbox and thought yeah that combination will work here and that is where the 2 forty four inch roller upper 2 side boxes and locker will fit. I was left after all that with 1 extra drawer when I got all the tools in there
Nice Icon box!
Thanks Jaime, I’m really liking the change from Red to Green!
ClientGraphics how it’s stand looks really tough
I would totally get the green with black trim in a bigger setup
That’s a really nice sharp looking box harbor de freight has come a long way
The side handle is sweet
I have to admit I'm curious why you didn't just get the 56" with the power drawer ? Just curious ?
Didn’t really want the power drawer and everyone gets bigger boxes. While I’ll probably put any end cabinet on it the thought of another 36” on it and have the end cabinet in the middle sounds even better🤫
Maybe they gave him the box and side cab 🤷♂️
I thought the same thing. Could've done the 56 for several hundred dollars less.
Nice tool boxes. I was hoping to see you put your tools in the box.
I been going to harbor freight tools once a month since last year with my dad. We both brought the 5 drawer tool cart for us . I been trying to fill it up with harbor freight tools the Pittsburgh tools sockets an wrenches and ratchets. I still have room in my cart to fill.
I'm paralyzed from my waist down and get around in a wheelchair an on a fixed income so that's why I'm going once a month an spend a limit. Hopefully I will have it filled this year
You should buy 2 casters and stick them under the side cabinet to take the stress off of the box. Then you could load the cabinet right up and it would be self supporting.
I looked into it and would have to make an extension on them if I went with different casters other than ICON caster parts as I think they were over $100 each for the ICON originals.
I have it propped up underneath with a dead battery and a 2x4 for now. Still waiting for new drawers and maybe for Christmas or 2021 I’ll get something for the other side👍🏻
Nice
Love the green, I have a Homak RS pro triple bank in the same color combo. Green means $$$$$ for me. The icon was a consideration as well but could not afford at the time.
I looked at Homak as they have a sweet combo deal on the 36” top and bottom online right now. I just really needed to see it before purchase and the ICON 36” I saw on display at the SEMASHOW and it’s just like the 56” but smaller👍
Sweet
Still to much for my low rent ass but that’s the model I like the most out of all of them, and it coming with the pallet ramp impressed me for some reason.
Great choice Chris! The green looks great. I’m really interested to see what you were able to do at least temporarily with those shallow drawers. I measured them at the store and my craftsman box has more usable height. All those shallow drawers are about the only real drawback I’ve seen on the Icon. Do you have a price on what the new drawers are going to run?Tremendous tool box for the money right now. I’m looking forward to hearing what you think about it and seeing what fits. Congratulations on the new tool box!
ICON GREEN 4-3/8 Deep drawer for the 36” was $50 and the 22” one was $25. However, I’m not sure if it comes with the new rail riveted on or if I’m going to have to drill one off and put it on the new drawer. We’ll find out in a few months. A single replacement caster was 100 for the fixed and $125 for the swivel.
I was wondering if you would be able to tell me what size bolts fit the stainless steel top? I got a 36" box but there was no hardware with the stainless steel top
Nice
Great wife to be interested and help. She’s great on your live ones too
Love the green. The ICON boxes are nice but still too rich for my blood. I prefer the US General boxes for the price. I would like to see Harbor Freight make a hutch for the US General boxes.
Very nice set!! Can we anticipate a tool box tour?
Yes but not sure when yet. There will be one for sure
Looks awesome Chris. Will the 36 inch box you have attach to the 56 icon?
any update on how it’s been holding up ? I want the 36inch and now you can no longer find it …
I know it’s been over a year for this video, I ordered an Icon 36” and the stainless top, but I’ll keep that top for later. The box won’t be here for a month and I want to get a butcher block top for it now, then set a red Kennedy 2805 XR on top, again a month out. Could you get a inside the top ledge measurement for me(without much effort) the size you feel the butcher block top should be cut to that would fit inside of the metal edges. Thanks, if not I'll wait till it comes. No worries.
Apparently I've been here before but, I was just rewatching this and, I couldn't help but wonder, why not buy the 56" cabinet for $2,800 instead of this cart/side cabinet for $3,200. At $3,200 you were only $600 away from buying the 72" Icon Box. What was the thought process when you decided to go this route? Why did you feel like this was the best value for you, given the money you spent and, what you could have bought instead?
For mobility since the 36” base will be the easiest to roll and move. I really didn’t need the built in power drawer or a top hutch. Yes, buying bigger 56 or 72 is better dollar per inch as far as value but any of the ICON toolboxes are priced cheaper than a Snapon, Matco and Mac equivalent. I’m doing a drawer swap here soon going from 8 total to 7 total as soon as they ship in from outside the USA ✌️
I have the exact same chest. Someone scrapped it at work and nothing wrong with it at all. USA quality 🤟
The Craftsman one. It has served me well and the slides will appreciate some weight being lifted from it and transfer into the new toolbox
Do you know if icons green matches snap-ons extreme green?
I dislike ICON, but I need to say, that looks very nice. I do not know what that cost you, but depending, I would consider it.
Anybody know why they stopped selling the icon roll cart ?
most would have used a floor jack to do the simple lift.
I still would have needed to get a 1/2” board or metal plate to center it over the frame and this was just as easy to slide it over. I probably could have removed all the drawers, but this was pretty quick and easy.
Sure if you wanna mess up your tool box as soon as you get it.
Did you ever do a toolbox tour on this thing? Interested on seeing inside drawer size.
What was your reason for not buying a 56" box?
I didn’t need or want a power drawer. I also don’t like big long drawers. I really want something with two side end cabinet.
@@ClientGraphicsOkay, I appreciate the response.
Does Harbor freight charge for shipping? Or can you get it shipped to the store for free? Nice box by the way.
Did you ever change those small drawers out?
Green, works with the red cart you have already.
That spot was the wife’s idea and it looked really good in that spot✌️
Did you ever swap the drawers out?
I thought for a tool review guy you’d have a huge box lol
It’s not the size that matters it’s how you use it🤣 I’m also not getting rid of the Craftsman toolbox either just adding more.
Did you ever replace 2 drawers with 1?
👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for watching and commenting. Appreciate the support✌️
how long did delivery take?
I got one of those husky 46" wood tops used on marketplace for $50, and it sucks. I can't even put all my sockets in the top drawer without it buckling. I been looking at these icon, but I think Im going to get a matco or snap on instead. The price of these icons are just to close to snap on to be worth it to me.
I have a Snap On KRL 1003 I bought 20 years ago, was $13,000 plus tax, now I got a decent trade in on my old Snap On box, but still. The KRL 1003 is currently over $17,000, while the 72” ICON is $2995 and you can get 0% finanacing Snap On interest is 23%.
Toolboxes don’t make you money like tools, I would buy the ICON in a heart beat over Snap On.
Can you show another video of this but do a walk around ???
how long did delivery take from the day you placed the order?
For me it was 9 almost 10 weeks. I did order before the start of the pandemic so I had to curb my expectations and I feel like my wait was worth it.
How much did the box with end cab cost? Looks nice !!
After the price adjustment when the price went down it’s around $2800
How tall is it without casters?
Green looks nice but, I find that I get tired of looking at green for several hours a day. I think i would have gone with blue or black but, it's your box. you're the first person I've seen that actually bought an Icon box. I like to know how many units harbor freight has sold. Fresh out of cardboard, it's a fine looking box but, it's not how it looks new but, how it holds up many years from now and if harbor freight will continue to support these behemoths 10 or more years down the road. Congrats on your new box!!!
Personally black is too hard to keep clean, but looks fantastic. Blue would have been my second choice. I would also would love to know how many have sold because I know of 3 but they don’t do YT. I don’t have any doubt it will stand 2 or 3 times what a US General would, but if I have issues YT will know.
I don't like that the stainless steel top stands proud of the rest of the box; I like how the rubber mats create a recessed area so things don't roll off. So, if they'd made the SS top half that height it would have worked better for me.
I'd also like to see a replaceable wooden top as an alternative to the SS.
Why didn't you just get the 56" wide model?
Why didn't you just get the 56 inch toolcart if you were going to put the attachment on anyways?
I really didn’t need the power drawer and the smaller wheel base on the 36” definitely makes it easier to move. I still have the ability to add another 22” end cabinet or add another 36” and put a triangle 36”x17 top box on it like a tool vault. If I ever have to move then I know my future self will be thankful that I have smaller pieces that can be detached for transporting. I guess I could still add a 56 inch toolbox to the mix at anytime.
Icon is a good box, but the price that they sell them at is pretty high. I just hope the make the hutches for the US general’s.
You should have bought a larger tool box with hutch
There are better options for the money the icons are nice but way overpriced. Happy to see your glad to upgrade and enjoy your new box
I thought delivery was supposed to include setup and inspection. You could have very easily lightened up that side cabinet by A LOT, simply by removing the drawers, and then reinstalling them after mounting the cabinet.
Can you mount a side cabinet on that box?
Technically I believe you could, but there would be some top screw mounts exposed since the top of the cabinet is supposed to mount to the hutch. I can’t recall if there are bottom bolt mounts but the box itself since it’s on the 36” should really have something on both sides to even the weigh otherwise it’s too heavy on a single side.
@@ClientGraphics thank you
Looking like a man that means business with his tools
Sweet box!
That's a great set up. I'm giddy for you, My Friend! I've out grown my older 26" Craftsman cabinet and chest combo as well and I only have a total of 10 drawers. That's way less than what you had. Space is at a premium for me on setting up a new tool cabinet. I thought 44" would be at the limit, but I'm better off with as wide as 36". Look at my channel, " A Longtime Petrolhead". I give a brief talk about it a 8'x6' shed.
Thanks buddy. Appreciate you watching and comment. I just checked out your video and hit the subscribe button👍🏻
ClientGraphics thanks, Sir! Email me your residence address at: donaldhollums@gmail.com.
Ok where can I come to get your old box?
I’m keeping the old one as well👍
It would be odd if you couldn't construct the support for the cabinet having all tools available xD
Floor jack two min on
I wonder if the 56 inch stainless steel top would fit on both of those then that way maybe you can return the one you purchased
It would most likely be a few inches short and the bottom is solid wood and I’m not sure if there is a cut out where the side cabinet hangs off on the 36” I wonder if the 73” would fit on two 36” cabinets bolted together with a side cabinet🤣🤣
@@ClientGraphics nope, it would be 91.5 inches long. 2 36" by themselves would work though mabye. its 72". your current setup is 55.5 inches long about.
That's a REAL Wife...
I can buy an “Open Box” 36 inch Ickn for $592+ Tax, right now. But it’s red.
Thought they say free delivery and set up???
Free delivery is stated and has an additional lid-gate charge that may apply (not sure what causes that to kick in but I didn’t have a lift-gate charge). I definitely don’t see anything about setup but there can be a lot of packaging you have to get ride of on you own.
Why two boxes? Wouldn’t it have been easier to get one big box
I thought it would be easier to rotate and more with the shorter wheel base. Anyone can get a big tool box if they have the money, but I picked out why I wanted.
