So fantastic to see a tool review that actually looks at the construction of the products instead of just providing a meaningless surface level view. Thanks for this work!
I didn't know what a rivet nut was before this video but now I want them. Also when you mentioned what the price was 5 years ago I nearly cried, they're both around $500 now.
So glad I skimmed across your comment because I did the same as you plus I got the guy at Home Depot to knock of a extra $50 for minor damages “scuff” so I got mine for $298 thanks mate
Same here. Figured they would be lesser quality than us general, as they are cheaper price wise. Just looked at the nine drawer Yukon today in person.... Was blown away by the smooth sturdy feeling of even the full width drawer. So glad I stopped to examine it. Going to use the Yukon without casters in a corner workbench I can sit at.
I purchased a Yukon yesterday. Now I’m waiting for the store to revive it. I was holding my breath watching this video. When it was over my exhale was nothing short of a wind tunnel. Great review!
I got the Husky and so far I'm happy with it. It came with drawer liners in each draw, and has a built in power strip on the side, which I like. Maybe they updated it again since this video came out.
This is really interesting. Just got the Husky and they’ve now updated every issue you mention: includes drawer liners, screwed top, rib nuts, double drawer slide, etc. it also looks like the Yukon has upgraded a few components as well including now being equivalent in height to the Husky. At this point they really look almost identical. And as of right now (7/23) the price on both is just under $400 I’ve been loving the Husky so far but seems like both are great buys atm.
I was just comparing these at the stores It seems that the Yukon drawer slides allow the drawer to shake a little more. I didn't have the exact husky to compare it to at the store I was at. do your drawer slides wiggle a lot?
The Yukon, I'm installing it in my vintage '57 silver streak 32 ft travel trailer for kitchen counter/cabinet. Lots of room for stuff. Lower to the floor, not going to use the wheels. Black paint matches my appliance
I don't care who sells what because it all comes down to the final finished product. There is a very distinct difference in attention to detail between both similar products. Yukon is the better constructed product where the greater flaws reside with the Husky. Great review, keep up the good job! Spokane Valley, WA.
I had that same exact Yukon box. It got me through my schooling and I to a professional mechanics job. But eventually I ran out of room and upgraded to a Mac box. But no regrets at all from the Yukon and highly recommend for decent budget box.
I have a stainless steel Husky roll around tool cabinet that"s used as a kitchen prep station. It has great storage for pot, pans and food preparation utensils.
@@dieseljunker9234 definitely get the husky these days. It's about 40 dollars more than the Yukon but has 19,000 sq. In of space compared to 10,000 sq. In in the Yukon. Drawers are way more sturdy as well, and it includes a power bank on the side of the chest as well.
I know the review is older, but based on this review, the Yukon wins me over. I need one, so I will look over them in-person. For now, Yukon wins. I’ll repost after seeing them personally.
I see Husky added a few features in the current model that the Yukon had in this model; notably the duel tracks on the bottom drawer. They also added padding and outlets... I think the engineers watch the videos, which is cool.
Definitely cool if they do watch the videos. If so, it's a win/win for the engineers and the consumers because for the engineers it would make their job slightly easier to see what needs improving at least for the brainstorming aspect. The consumers are also happy with said improvements. Now, in the automotive industry, if they weren't so gung-ho about planned obsolescence that would be a win/win right there too....
R.T.Reviews: I bought my Husky about 10 years ago, and its been in several shops and now at home, in my garage. I'd buy it again , if needed. No problems with it .
This video made me a convert to your channel because you showed objectivity, critical thinking, and transparency - excellent job! Six months ago I purchased the 62" Husky workbench with adjustable top - that feature is what sold me given my limited shop space. It was my second tool cabinet, but clearly, I did not even know how to do my homework at the time (insert embarrassment here), but it was a huge improvement in quality over my first chest which was a 10-year-old Craftsman Pro. After viewing this, I went to your channel and watched the 72" rolling chest comparison of Husky vs. US General from Harbor Freight, which was an eye-opener for me. So I went out to my shop and was relieved that the 62" workbench had markedly better quality than either of the Husky's you reviewed! The biggest lesson - throw away blind brand loyalty, and DO YOUR HOMEWORK! Clearly, this is a rapidly moving marketplace - it's interesting that there is so much rapid change in the tool & shop storage space relative to many other markets. As an example, for some years I've only heard contempt about Harbor Freight from some people around me. For my birthday my lovely wife, not knowing anything other than it was a "tool place" bought me an Inside Track Club membership and that in turn forced me to get to know my local store, and learn a lot about the company and its tools. As I now know, we are seeing a long-term steady improvement in design and quality of Harbor Freight's products. I've bought several, and each time they have exceeded my expectations. At the same time, we're seeing some pretty poor product come out of other stalwart brands. Just like we watched with Japan over many decades, Chinese manufacturing is learning and continually improving. And manufacturers seem to be realizing that we Americans would like to see production that makes sense to be moved back on-shore. At least design, steel, forging, and final assembly and test. With so much changing, big-ticket items deserve objective research. And, in the case of Harbor Freight, that warranty is hard to beat!
I picked up the husky today on sale, and it now has rivnuts drawer liners and a fixed top. The handle only attached to one side but it does have power strip and usb. And now double drawer slides on the big drawers.
I bought the Husky 52" box in November of 2016, the box came with drawer liners for all 18 drawers and had double slides on both deep drawers. The box purchased was on sale for $498, two of my fellow coworkers bought the same box from separate Home Depots and received entirely different results. I think Home Depot is purchasing boxes under the Husky logo from many different suppiers.
Good purchase JD! I only wish it was as tall as the Husky so that I could integrate it into the side cabinet set up for my 44 inch set. It's a few inches lower than the 7 drawer side cab, so it wont attach. Bummer.
Excellent video! I actually just purchased the Yukon this afternoon and then found this video. The title made me worried for a second that I may have made a bad purchase but I am pleasantly surprised. Thanks for the great info!
Except the current Husky box is very different from the one he featured in this video. They now have two slides on the bottom drawers, come with drawer liners, and a fixed wood top. They also have an integrated power strip, soft close drawers, and much more storage capacity. All for $30 more.
@@kenjcm Yes, the husky line is actually showing some pretty nice improvement across the board. I'm really impressed by their heavy duty line-up of full size boxes.
I believe the Husky has gone up a in price to account for the improved quality. I recently bought the Yukon with a total of 30% discount. At Home Depot, I can often get a 10% discount for being a veteran (doesn't apply to wood and certain other items that have a very low margin.). Either way, I prefer to support Harbor Freight as they have made HUGE efforts to improve quality and service. I feel that they are becoming what Craftsman USED to be. They have stores all over, and their warranty/guarantee is as good as anyone's. We are fortunate to have HF. They've become the go-to for many people.
I was HOPING for the Yukon to win, but wasn't sure. I'm glad they did and if I don't get a US General, the Yukon is probably the best bet. By the way, this review is VERY helpful. I like the fact that you showed all of the attachments and reinforcement on both boxes. That will help me know what to look for in whatever I buy.
Damn!!!...very good video and narrator was clear and descriptive of tool box ...made me decide to go with a Yukon...keep up the good work...Greetings from San Juan, TX
Very well done review. Accurate too from what I check out. This video is done right: straight to the point, facts comparison is concise, no non value added time wasting opinions. Very good job. Do more of reviews like this!
Great video. If I had to pick right here from my comfy recliner after seeing this video I would pick the Yukon. Harbor Freight boxes have generally got pretty good reviews from what I have seen. Perhaps not the "best of the best" but you arent paying that either. There are things at HF that ... well lets just say they arent even low range quality, but their tool chests seem to be pretty decent, not only for a home mechanic but even in a shop environment (starting out at least). Good informative video!
There are a lot of Harbor Freight "haters". You just have to decide what you buy items for. Is it a "consumable"?? This box is an exception to that principle. Nice video....
I bought a Husky 41 inch wide 18 deep and (roughly) 60 inches tall, about 5 weeks ago. It is not nearly as cheap as the one that you have shown and cost just under $500. It also came with drawer liners. This is an interesting video and im sure glad that i purchased my box before the cheap manufacturing took place.
Most helpful video, thank you! Just picked up the Yukon yesterday. Only change is that they no longer include the drawer liners. Paid $300+tax after a $40 off coupon. Just bolt the wheels on and fill her up!
Wow. Would have thought just the opposite. Thanks so very much for this great review! Just found a Husky on sale at my local Home Depot this evening for $548 vs. Harbor Freight @ $699. Will watch for great Black Friday sale :) These would be used for my sewing room &/or tools for garage.Thanks again!
Liked & Subbed! I got the Yukon for Christmas! I tried to buy the Husky as well but lucky for me they were sold out of the Husky! My plans are to buy six or seven for my wood shop. Looks like I’ll be going w/ the Yukon! Thanks for making this and other videos! Have A Super Week!.....Gus
bought that yukon last year. just by lookin at the 2 products, i would have never guessed the differences. glad i watched this vid and glad that i made the right choice
Outstanding review and concise side-by-side comparison! Perfect! I wish more reviews were more like this. Also, very helpful in making decision on which to buy. I wish the Yukon were slightly taller, but everything else was a "no brainer," especially for those of us that live in hot, humid areas. Thank you!
Those issues are no longer the case with the current Husky box. The wood top is now fixed like the Yukon, and they also fixed most of the other things too, like the bottom drawers now also have the double slides and they also come with pre-cut drawer liners. And the features the Yukon don't have, the Husky has soft-close drawers (which I love), and an integrated power strip, which is super useful. Also remember it has more storage capacity. All for $30 more with a better warranty.
I just bought a the husky box at my local Home Depot yesterday, it’s totally different now, no removable wood top, dual slides on the bottom drawers and it did come with drawer liners and a power strip on the side
Same here, just got mine two days ago, very well made for the price, has 3 year warranty, dual slides on bottom drawers, has liners, screwed in wood on top, better bolts for casters, overall great box
The new Husky box is also 24 in. depth vs 18.5 in. depth on the Yukon, that's a lot more space in each drawer and surface to work on... so $90 more I'll go with the Husky
That version is not the same as the one being reviewed here. The one in the video is still being sold for $299. The version you purchased is $399. Model # 7440946R is the $299 version and H46MWC9XD-TL is the $399
I watched this video 2 years ago and was on huskies side, now i’m in a position to buy a chest. Harbor freight is where my money is going, my opinion has changed quite a bit
I own the YUKON tool chest and glad I bought it. Very good quality and a good price. Harbor Freight has recently come a long way with their products. They previously had a reputation of selling junk, but that has changed.
Husky mustve seen this. I got a Husky box as a gift this year and the current gen box versus this 3 year old box doesnt even compare anymore. You get the lazer cut drawer liners, secured wood top, better slides, double slides on bottom drawers and the integrated power strip with 2 USB ports.
@@RealToolReviews We miss you, can't wait to see you come back and expose more manufacturers and show people you dont need to pay a premium for a name.
I use the Yukon in my kitchen. I figure it makes a nice substitute for a conventional kitchen cabinets. It holds what I need, I could move it to clean behind, and when I break up housekeeping in the future it still holds its value. I'm shorter so a shorter work surface is better for me.
I bought my Yukon as a floor model for $220 a year ago and I’m so glad I did after seeing this review. I’m going to get the same one for more tool storage space.
I bought the Husky toolbox about a month ago and it looks like the design has been updated. Its 37” tall, the wood top is bolted down, the bottom drawers have 2 slides, and the entire inside of the box has been painted. I didn’t check to see the bolt size or what kind of nuts it uses.
The yokon was the clear winner due to the extra storage capacity on the bottom drawers with the double rollers the stainless steel Hardware is a nice touch painting inside and out. Any rust from forming anywhere on a scale of 1 to 10 I would give the Husky Box about a six and a half while the Yukon box I would rate a 10 I was wrong I thought husky would do a better job of building a box thanks for the video
I checked specs and it looks like the Yukon is 18 inches deep vs Husky 24 inches. Husky also had 2 rails for bottom draw instead of one shown in video although still said 100 lbs.
ok... so its 2019, 2 years after u shot this video, & im in the market for a new tool box... im wanting a good size box with a wood work surface top & im lookin for this perticular us general model... so heres the problem, yukon doesnt offer this box anymore, only box available with a wood top is a similar style box but with 2 "doors" at the bottom instead of all the drawers... so i looked at craftsman, kobalt, husky, us general & several more online, but at the end of the day i decided on the 46" husky with the wood top... after watching this video, & coming to trust (& still do) ur honest & unbiased reviews, i looked over said husky very carefully & saw none of the issues u mentioned (i hope this means they saw ur video, & heard their customers complaints, & made some changes?) i noticed that the paint job was good & had good inside coverage, the drawer liners included were nice & thick, the roller bearings were smooth & overall a nice box... the newer version has a wood top that is bolted on & is a nice solid chunk of real wood, not particle board like the craftsman sears had on the display floor (r.i.p. sears) & its 24.5" deep, as opposed to both the husky & yukon in ur vid that were only 18" deep... it also has an outlet strip down the side with a couple of usb's... & ill admit, i didnt get one of the black ones off the floor, i ordered a red one online, but i couldnt be happier about the quality & the price ...this is my second husky box ...my older ones probably gettin on 10 years old now, & its still holding up great... so personally, ive been very pleased with both of them... & a big "thank u" for all the great videos man!
As a Husky owner, and being generally satisfied with it for my use, I'm going to assume the Yukon is better quality. No way the husky would hold up long term in a shop. Granted I have the 44" Top and bottom husky. I have no complaints thus far. But if I could have gotten something much better for about the same price, that's disappointing.
I've had both(well US General) and HF is better quality. I couldn't see Husky being anything more than a weekend warrior box and HF in the middle tier and with some improvements maybe industrial grade.
FWIW I just confirmed that this Yukon is the exact same box that used to be sold under the Husky name. The newer Husky is made cheaper like the example in this video, but the older Husky is a whole lot better. in fact, it's identical.
Josh Dann I can confirm this. I have the older Husky and it is exactly like the Yukon in this review. The only difference is the handle. My Husky has the same handle style as this Husky but attached with Rivnuts.
Unfortunately it doesn't look like they offer that tool chest anymore. They have a slightly different model with 2 cabinet doors instead of actual drawers.
Thanks for the great review. I’ve got the Yukon 46-inch 1-drawer (it’s the one with cabinet drawers below the drawer). I picked it up before the price increases for about $225. I didn’t install the wheels and it’s a very capable and sturdy lathe stand and cabinet to keep some of my wood finishes. I’m planning on getting the 9-drawer (now $350!!) as soon as they’re back in stock in Virginia. Appreciate the great content!
@@JohnWilliamLeonard35 I’ve got two 9-drawers now too. I keep an eye on the HF emails and it’s been on sale a lot lately for about $375, I think. Still a good value, but those prices have been Bidenized everywhere!
Too bad they stopped offering this within the last two weeks and replaced it with a shameful box that is the same size but they removed the bottom 8 drawers in lieu of some cabinets that dramatically reduce usable storage space, not to mention you’ll now have to stoop down to be able to reach anything towards the back. Sorry mistake.
Have you done a comparison on the us general vs yukon? I know they are both sold at Harbor Freight, but I am interested in the pros and cons of both. Great videos! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos :)
I dont have any experience with the Yukon but I just upgraded from the Husky in the video to a 72" US General and its exponential better in terms of quality. Its a very solid box that has some heft to it and can hold a lot more weight. I think whether you go with USG or Yukon would depend on your use. If you are a professional mechanic or hardcore DIY mechanic at home get the US General. If you just want a nice toolbox with a work top to keep household tools in get the Yukon.
Purchased the Yukon after exhaustive research. Wish I had seen this video prior to purchase just to make me feel better about my decision. Winners win, I bought the Yukon and couldn't be happier with the quality from a $300 mobile drawer storage unit. I would agree the paint finish is far superior and the bolt attachments are key. Moisture is always a possibility as I will roll my unit around as needed so the secured wood top was important too. I bought the white cabinet and it is super clean. With this quality I felt no need to purchase an extended warranty on a cabinet so hearing of the 3 year offer on Husky makes me question that as simply a marketing ploy.
I am ashamed that says assembled in the USA. I can't see how it's cheaper to spot weld instead of using the rivnuts, knowing they were trying to save on production cost. Having worked at Home Depot, in the receiving dept, I tried to think of the issues we had with all tool chest/boxes....damaged in transit because of how thin they are.
+Moneypit330 its cheaper because they don't have to buy rivnuts or take the time/machinery to install them......they instead are using robots (most likely) to weld the thin tabs in place at a higher rate of speed with less costs in materials.
Real Tool Reviews I did think more about it after I posted and figured a robot was used for spot welds. But also thinking about positioning of the welded tab over the stamped hole versus sticking the rivnut through a hole for positive alignment? The welded tab itself I am sure is cheaper. Either way I am more than happy with my red U.S. General 5 drawer tool cart from HF that I have had for about 7yrs.
You would think a rivnut could also be located by a pre-drilled hole and installed by a robot at about the same speed as a welded plate. But yes, I'm sure you are correct and it would cost a couple of dollars more for this far superior fastener. As a side note, I purchase a cheap manual rivnut installer a few years back off of amazon, mainly to install aftermarket products in my vehicles and proceeded to try test one, to rip one out intentionally out of a piece of scrap metal I had drilled a hole and installed one into to see just how strong it was. I couldn't rip the darn thing out without completely destroying the metal around it that it was installed into. A great fastener to say the least! I have since installed many things with it like license plate brackets and aftermarket Lightning, and the great thing is the installations look almost like factory quality instead of the nuts and bolts I used before getting this. They are also great in areas where you can't get to the back to install a nut, like inside of the floor of my SUV where I needed blind fasteners for a gun safe I installed (the gas tank was below it).
The problem with the rivnuts is they are shipping these flat panels back to the USA to assemble them. The welded tabs are much thinner so they can stack more sheets in a container,etc They want to sell a box that says "Proudly assembled in the USA! and keep a few of the USA toolbox manufacturers working. And it must be 299.99 retail. You have to understand Home Depot sets and demands a price point. The manufacturers have to accomodate that. Its really a screwed up way of doing it. I know they demanded a XXX price point for a certian power tool for example and the manufacture had to figure out a way to build it. Ever wonder why your 18vt Dewalt drill or saw or something is a different part number when you buy it from a big box store- Theres a reason- Price point.
Wow. And, the ironic thing is that they're about to open a brand new Harbor Freight on the opposite side of the lot where the old Home Depot is. Looks like i'm going to be taking mama's truck to the grand opening. Good video, very informative. Just didn't see that one coming. Totally called it wrong. Thanks!
But to get the 44 inch US General you are going to have to fork over another $200, almost doubling the cost of the Yukon box. While yes the General is much better construction, but that cost is the difference between getting a box and not for a lot of people. I think they could have survived together.
Good review, unfortunately it's long outdated now, 5 yrs later. The 46" 9 drawer Husky they now sell has an attached top, drawer liners and double slides on the deep bottom drawer. Hopefully they've upgraded other aspects of it too.
Just grabbed a white Yukon at my local HFT and got 20% off to boot. Its so rad! I love it and it occupies less space than my previous work bench setup. Awesome quality.
Man I'm currently in the market for a tool box. I keep navigating towards the 44 inch us general from harbor freight. I would LOVE to see a review of the harbor freight versus snap on from you. I need to know if it lives up to the hype.
They are virtually identical from what I could tell. I would get the harbor freight box any day of the week. The only thing I did notice on the harbor freight I purchased was the power coat wasn't perfect, A few high spots that almost look like paint runs but purely cosmetic.
John Miller I have been using 44 inch us general at work. I am starting diesel mechanic and been at shop for little over 6months now. We move are boxes around everyday and had no problems. Gets same work done as big thousands of dollar boxes. I would say I hope they had locking drawers since moving box around does make the drawers open on there own. No complains as of now on box. It is solid and gets work done without emptying out the pockets. Would recommend. If your looking just for home then definitely would buy us general.
Bryan Cromwell thanks for the input. I bought thr mechanics tool cart. Its nice but i did overload the bottom drawer. Now i need to replace that rail. Not too big of a deal. But any and all input on the subject is greatly appreciated
US General is the only choice when comparing between the Husky and the Yukon. Both the Husky and the Yukon, which to me, are nothing more than two more boat anchors waiting to grow coral or trick bass into a false sense of security. But, I would suggest going all out on a US General tool box setup. Get more space and quality then need now and that you are shopping for. You will soon find that you need another Tool Box!Why get into the same rut of needing more room when you've already dug that fire pit ... it's time to move on up. Get the HF big guy with every extra add-on that your budget can afford. You will use the space because every tool loving mechanical nut job (me) always gets more tools than needed. I call it -- Getting My Man Stuff. I use the excuse that my son will inherit my tools and boxes to keep the wife's roar down to a barely manageable babble-ramble.
The 44 inch is a really good box for the price. So are the larger US General boxes. My only gripe with the HF units are the plastic drawer latches, they break REALLY easy. Every one I have seen in the stores had at least one broken. I have one of the older 44" units and it has been a good box. It sets next to an older Craftsman and 2 "truck" boxes. All are stuffed to the gills at the moment.
I was right. I would get the Yukon. Also if you could doa comparison of the Earthquake xt battery 1/2 impact vs a comparable brand. If you can. That would be awesome
Too expensive. A Earthquake XT is $240 + $40 for 2 year warranty. You can buy a new Dewalt DCF899 with 4Ah battery and charger for $280. You get a 3 year warranty, brushless motor with the DeWalt. The part number is DCF899M1
DON'T DISMISS THE HUSKY! I decided I wanted to get the Yukon based on the information in this video. But HF doesn't stock them anymore around here. They are all special order saying it could take a month to get. I went to Lowes to look at the Craftsman box and was not impressed at all and it was more money. I went to go look at the husky and to my surprise, it was exactly like the Yukon in your video. Came with the draw liners, wheels are bolted into rib nuts, Bottom drawers have 4 slides each, not 2, all are soft close slides, wood top is bolted to the box, Inside was completely painted, even came with a built in outlet strip with USB ports. It was $30 more than HF, but they had them in stock and HF wanted to charge $100 shipping. So don't discount the husky anymore! I like mine a lot.
@@border4554 My Home Depot had them built already (though I would have preferred if they didn't).. but my point is they were on the floor and you can check them out. Very happy with mine. (I'm in Phoenix)
I bought the 11 Drawer Husky box about 4 years ago and had zero issues with it. Just went out to see if the larger drawers had two slides and they do. I did line the drawers and I just love this toolbox/workbench. Only assembly was to add the casters. Not sorry I bought this one and I use it every day.

Me either.
Same here. Figured they would be lesser quality than us general, as they are cheaper price wise. Just looked at the nine drawer Yukon today in person.... Was blown away by the smooth sturdy feeling of even the full width drawer. So glad I stopped to examine it.
Going to use the Yukon without casters in a corner workbench I can sit at.

The Yukon, I'm installing it in my vintage '57 silver streak 32 ft travel trailer for kitchen counter/cabinet. Lots of room for stuff. Lower to the floor, not going to use the wheels. Black paint matches my appliance

Husky I thought would be victorous but i gotta go with the Yukon after seeing your review
Don't count on this old review, I got a husky recently and it's different than this old 2017 review
@@dieseljunker9234 definitely get the husky these days. It's about 40 dollars more than the Yukon but has 19,000 sq. In of space compared to 10,000 sq. In in the Yukon. Drawers are way more sturdy as well, and it includes a power bank on the side of the chest as well.
I know the review is older, but based on this review, the Yukon wins me over. I need one, so I will look over them in-person. For now, Yukon wins. I’ll repost after seeing them personally.
I agree
I got the new husky 46” and damn is it nice it’s also 24” deep now so it has more room. This Is definitely an out of date review now.
I forwarded this to a buddy of mine who is debating on the Yukon or the Huskey, thanks very clear and well-delivered information!
Yukon for the win!! I'm a welder and have been using the Yukon over a year now and love it!!
SPOILER!
I'm hoping Yukon is better, but haven't finished the video yet lol
I see Husky added a few features in the current model that the Yukon had in this model; notably the duel tracks on the bottom drawer. They also added padding and outlets... I think the engineers watch the videos, which is cool.
Definitely cool if they do watch the videos. If so, it's a win/win for the engineers and the consumers because for the engineers it would make their job slightly easier to see what needs improving at least for the brainstorming aspect. The consumers are also happy with said improvements. Now, in the automotive industry, if they weren't so gung-ho about planned obsolescence that would be a win/win right there too....
real tool reviews still the best despite the bums out there causing problems
R.T.Reviews: I bought my Husky about 10 years ago, and its been in several shops and now at home, in my garage. I'd buy it again , if needed. No problems with it .
This video made me a convert to your channel because you showed objectivity, critical thinking, and transparency - excellent job! Six months ago I purchased the 62" Husky workbench with adjustable top - that feature is what sold me given my limited shop space. It was my second tool cabinet, but clearly, I did not even know how to do my homework at the time (insert embarrassment here), but it was a huge improvement in quality over my first chest which was a 10-year-old Craftsman Pro. After viewing this, I went to your channel and watched the 72" rolling chest comparison of Husky vs. US General from Harbor Freight, which was an eye-opener for me. So I went out to my shop and was relieved that the 62" workbench had markedly better quality than either of the Husky's you reviewed! The biggest lesson - throw away blind brand loyalty, and DO YOUR HOMEWORK!
Clearly, this is a rapidly moving marketplace - it's interesting that there is so much rapid change in the tool & shop storage space relative to many other markets. As an example, for some years I've only heard contempt about Harbor Freight from some people around me. For my birthday my lovely wife, not knowing anything other than it was a "tool place" bought me an Inside Track Club membership and that in turn forced me to get to know my local store, and learn a lot about the company and its tools. As I now know, we are seeing a long-term steady improvement in design and quality of Harbor Freight's products. I've bought several, and each time they have exceeded my expectations. At the same time, we're seeing some pretty poor product come out of other stalwart brands. Just like we watched with Japan over many decades, Chinese manufacturing is learning and continually improving. And manufacturers seem to be realizing that we Americans would like to see production that makes sense to be moved back on-shore. At least design, steel, forging, and final assembly and test. With so much changing, big-ticket items deserve objective research. And, in the case of Harbor Freight, that warranty is hard to beat!
Straight facts!
I own two of the Yukon boxes. One for home and one for work. No issues out of either one. Great box.
I picked up the husky today on sale, and it now has rivnuts drawer liners and a fixed top. The handle only attached to one side but it does have power strip and usb. And now double drawer slides on the big drawers.
This video did a much better job than HF advertising the Yukon.
thank you for the great information..i purchased the Yukon 46" today .the best thing I have purchased in a long time.
I bought the Husky 52" box in November of 2016, the box came with drawer liners for all 18 drawers and had double slides on both deep drawers. The box purchased was on sale for $498, two of my fellow coworkers bought the same box from separate Home Depots and received entirely different results. I think Home Depot is purchasing boxes under the Husky logo from many different suppiers.
3 Yukons!! Thanks for the review!!!😎🤙😊
I've had the Yukon for a while now. For home use, this is great. Just depends what your application is going to be.
Yukon. Just bought one before watching this. Now I'm even happier that I did buy the Yukon
Good purchase JD! I only wish it was as tall as the Husky so that I could integrate it into the side cabinet set up for my 44 inch set. It's a few inches lower than the 7 drawer side cab, so it wont attach. Bummer.
Rob's Wrenches Me too. I wish it was taller
Install bigger wheels.
HF has really nice rubber inflatable ones.
put spacers under chest above the casters?
@@robswrenches9501 you can get the 44 inch and install a piece of plywood on the top
I recently purchased the Yukon and got everything moved into it. Very impressed with build quality. Great review.
Excellent video! I actually just purchased the Yukon this afternoon and then found this video. The title made me worried for a second that I may have made a bad purchase but I am pleasantly surprised. Thanks for the great info!
2021 - The Yukon is still a great buy and this video helped me discover it. Thanks!
Except the current Husky box is very different from the one he featured in this video. They now have two slides on the bottom drawers, come with drawer liners, and a fixed wood top. They also have an integrated power strip, soft close drawers, and much more storage capacity. All for $30 more.
@@kenjcm Yes, the husky line is actually showing some pretty nice improvement across the board. I'm really impressed by their heavy duty line-up of full size boxes.
I believe the Husky has gone up a in price to account for the improved quality. I recently bought the Yukon with a total of 30% discount. At Home Depot, I can often get a 10% discount for being a veteran (doesn't apply to wood and certain other items that have a very low margin.). Either way, I prefer to support Harbor Freight as they have made HUGE efforts to improve quality and service. I feel that they are becoming what Craftsman USED to be. They have stores all over, and their warranty/guarantee is as good as anyone's. We are fortunate to have HF. They've become the go-to for many people.
I was HOPING for the Yukon to win, but wasn't sure.
I'm glad they did and if I don't get a US General, the Yukon is probably the best bet.
By the way, this review is VERY helpful. I like the fact that you showed all of the attachments and reinforcement on both boxes. That will help me know what to look for in whatever I buy.
I really wish there was an updated review of the newer models. The husky is 24” deep now and that tips the scales.
Not really. The build quality is still subpar to the Yukon. I looked at the updated Husky too and still bought the Yukon.
Damn!!!...very good video and narrator was clear and descriptive of tool box ...made me decide to go with a Yukon...keep up the good work...Greetings from San Juan, TX

Very well done review. Accurate too from what I check out. This video is done right: straight to the point, facts comparison is concise, no non value added time wasting opinions. Very good job. Do more of reviews like this!
I can't stop staring at that Dewalt in the back.
🤣🤣🤣
$1500 ?
Same. I love the color.
You did a very nice job going over all of the features of each tool box. Great job.
Great video. If I had to pick right here from my comfy recliner after seeing this video I would pick the Yukon. Harbor Freight boxes have generally got pretty good reviews from what I have seen. Perhaps not the "best of the best" but you arent paying that either. There are things at HF that ... well lets just say they arent even low range quality, but their tool chests seem to be pretty decent, not only for a home mechanic but even in a shop environment (starting out at least). Good informative video!
Great review. I would definitely choose the Yukon due to the build quality.
Great, clear comparison. My son is looking at the Yukon to go in his detached garage. Seems he made the right choice.
There are a lot of Harbor Freight "haters". You just have to decide what you buy items for. Is it a "consumable"?? This box is an exception to that principle. Nice video....
Wow thanks for the honest review i was thinkin of getting the huskey but changed my mine ima check out that yukon thanks again bro
Yukon discontinued
I purchased a 52" Huskey about 8 years ago and its still like new! Very well made and it looks it!
Really great review! I was considering either one, but thanks to your side by side comparison, I may purchase the Harbor Freight model.
Man you cannot go wrong with the Yukon!! I love mine
~20 years with the cheapest ~8 drawer Harbor Freight tool box sold, works fantastic! Drawers slide with ease, never as issue.
Blakelikesfood they last a long time if you never you use them!
Jimmy Grant: Yawn, building 7 vehicles at once right now with it, which is about par every year.
Blakelikesfood actually waterloo
Blakelikesfood 7 vehicles isn't that much for a year!
Jimmy Grant : No Jimmy, not 7 vehicles a year....7 vehicles at a time.
Surprised at the build of the Yukon. It’s 2024 now and I’m doing a search on these because they’re going on sale at Harbor Freight.
I bought a Husky 41 inch wide 18 deep and (roughly) 60 inches tall, about 5 weeks ago. It is not nearly as cheap as the one that you have shown and cost just under $500. It also came with drawer liners. This is an interesting video and im sure glad that i purchased my box before the cheap manufacturing took place.
Mine also came with liners, with the husky logo embossed into every liner...
You bough a different model given the price.
This is an amazing comparison video. Very well done and glad it popped up in my search.
Most helpful video, thank you! Just picked up the Yukon yesterday. Only change is that they no longer include the drawer liners. Paid $300+tax after a $40 off coupon. Just bolt the wheels on and fill her up!
Yes I was right Yukon... now that was a very useful informative and well put together video. Thanks.
Wow. Would have thought just the opposite. Thanks so very much for this great review! Just found a Husky on sale at my local Home Depot this evening for $548 vs. Harbor Freight @ $699. Will watch for great Black Friday sale :) These would be used for my sewing room &/or tools for garage.Thanks again!
Don't forget the HF 20% off coupon.
I'm glad I watched this! Thank you. Also love that you get right to the point.
Wow. 2.5 years later the Yukon is only up to $329 right now at Harbor Freight but I'm still going to buy it when I can. Thanks for the video!
Use the coupons!!
@@rrenee501 oh I will. They even just have them in store most times.
Liked & Subbed! I got the Yukon for Christmas! I tried to buy the Husky as well but lucky for me they were sold out of the Husky! My plans are to buy six or seven for my wood shop. Looks like I’ll be going w/ the Yukon! Thanks for making this and other videos! Have A Super Week!.....Gus
bought that yukon last year. just by lookin at the 2 products, i would have never guessed the differences. glad i watched this vid and glad that i made the right choice
Outstanding review and concise side-by-side comparison! Perfect! I wish more reviews were more like this. Also, very helpful in making decision on which to buy. I wish the Yukon were slightly taller, but everything else was a "no brainer," especially for those of us that live in hot, humid areas. Thank you!
Those issues are no longer the case with the current Husky box. The wood top is now fixed like the Yukon, and they also fixed most of the other things too, like the bottom drawers now also have the double slides and they also come with pre-cut drawer liners. And the features the Yukon don't have, the Husky has soft-close drawers (which I love), and an integrated power strip, which is super useful. Also remember it has more storage capacity. All for $30 more with a better warranty.
Does Husky now use actual rivnuts?
I just bought a the husky box at my local Home Depot yesterday, it’s totally different now, no removable wood top, dual slides on the bottom drawers and it did come with drawer liners and a power strip on the side
Same here, just got mine two days ago, very well made for the price, has 3 year warranty, dual slides on bottom drawers, has liners, screwed in wood on top, better bolts for casters, overall great box
Thanks for the info. Gonna buy a Husky because they have it in stock, vs. Yukon, where you have to place an order.
@@AndyVids2011 I did mine on home depot website and they had it in stock in gray, looks very good as well
The new Husky box is also 24 in. depth vs 18.5 in. depth on the Yukon, that's a lot more space in each drawer and surface to work on... so $90 more I'll go with the Husky
That version is not the same as the one being reviewed here. The one in the video is still being sold for $299. The version you purchased is $399.
Model # 7440946R is the $299 version and H46MWC9XD-TL is the $399
Just bought the Husky one here at Home Depot in Canada and it came with the drawer liners
I watched this video 2 years ago and was on huskies side, now i’m in a position to buy a chest. Harbor freight is where my money is going, my opinion has changed quite a bit
I own the YUKON tool chest and glad I bought it. Very good quality and a good price. Harbor Freight has recently come a long way with their products. They previously had a reputation of selling junk, but that has changed.
When I buy Harbor Freight tools, I buy with my eyes open. Home Depot is supposed to sell only quality stuff, but, well...
Husky mustve seen this. I got a Husky box as a gift this year and the current gen box versus this 3 year old box doesnt even compare anymore.
You get the lazer cut drawer liners, secured wood top, better slides, double slides on bottom drawers and the integrated power strip with 2 USB ports.
Husky magically discontinued this junk box about 3 weeks after I made this video & exposed them....
@@RealToolReviews We miss you, can't wait to see you come back and expose more manufacturers and show people you dont need to pay a premium for a name.
@@RealToolReviews thanks for exposing them because the new husky box is very nice now.
I use the Yukon in my kitchen. I figure it makes a nice substitute for a conventional kitchen cabinets. It holds what I need, I could move it to clean behind, and when I break up housekeeping in the future it still holds its value. I'm shorter so a shorter work surface is better for me.
I bought my Yukon as a floor model for $220 a year ago and I’m so glad I did after seeing this review. I’m going to get the same one for more tool storage space.
I bought the Husky toolbox about a month ago and it looks like the design has been updated. Its 37” tall, the wood top is bolted down, the bottom drawers have 2 slides, and the entire inside of the box has been painted. I didn’t check to see the bolt size or what kind of nuts it uses.
Outstanding review. Was looking to buy the Yukon that requires an hour ride and you just made my choice a lot easier. Yukon it is.
Before this video I had watched the Snap-On vs Harbor Freight torque wrench video, then this video, I just subbed to this channel!! Thank You!
The yokon was the clear winner due to the extra storage capacity on the bottom drawers with the double rollers the stainless steel Hardware is a nice touch painting inside and out. Any rust from forming anywhere on a scale of 1 to 10 I would give the Husky Box about a six and a half while the Yukon box I would rate a 10 I was wrong I thought husky would do a better job of building a box thanks for the video
I checked specs and it looks like the Yukon is 18 inches deep vs Husky 24 inches. Husky also had 2 rails for bottom draw instead of one shown in video although still said 100 lbs.
ok... so its 2019, 2 years after u shot this video, & im in the market for a new tool box... im wanting a good size box with a wood work surface top & im lookin for this perticular us general model... so heres the problem, yukon doesnt offer this box anymore, only box available with a wood top is a similar style box but with 2 "doors" at the bottom instead of all the drawers... so i looked at craftsman, kobalt, husky, us general & several more online, but at the end of the day i decided on the 46" husky with the wood top... after watching this video, & coming to trust (& still do) ur honest & unbiased reviews, i looked over said husky very carefully & saw none of the issues u mentioned (i hope this means they saw ur video, & heard their customers complaints, & made some changes?) i noticed that the paint job was good & had good inside coverage, the drawer liners included were nice & thick, the roller bearings were smooth & overall a nice box... the newer version has a wood top that is bolted on & is a nice solid chunk of real wood, not particle board like the craftsman sears had on the display floor (r.i.p. sears) & its 24.5" deep, as opposed to both the husky & yukon in ur vid that were only 18" deep... it also has an outlet strip down the side with a couple of usb's... & ill admit, i didnt get one of the black ones off the floor, i ordered a red one online, but i couldnt be happier about the quality & the price ...this is my second husky box ...my older ones probably gettin on 10 years old now, & its still holding up great... so personally, ive been very pleased with both of them... & a big "thank u" for all the great videos man!
That box is available. I looked at it today at Harbor Freight! It's very nice as well.
Thanks a lot for this video i was about to get me the husky but after seeing this im gonna get me the Yukon from hf and save some money. 👍
As a Husky owner, and being generally satisfied with it for my use, I'm going to assume the Yukon is better quality. No way the husky would hold up long term in a shop.
Granted I have the 44" Top and bottom husky. I have no complaints thus far. But if I could have gotten something much better for about the same price, that's disappointing.
I've had both(well US General) and HF is better quality. I couldn't see Husky being anything more than a weekend warrior box and HF in the middle tier and with some improvements maybe industrial grade.
FWIW I just confirmed that this Yukon is the exact same box that used to be sold under the Husky name. The newer Husky is made cheaper like the example in this video, but the older Husky is a whole lot better. in fact, it's identical.
Josh Dann I can confirm this. I have the older Husky and it is exactly like the Yukon in this review. The only difference is the handle. My Husky has the same handle style as this Husky but attached with Rivnuts.
Its obvious which is the winner Yukon...
And thank you for this video sir .
Unfortunately it doesn't look like they offer that tool chest anymore.
They have a slightly different model with 2 cabinet doors instead of actual drawers.
I just got that version for $259 + a free one year membership.
Harbor Freight offers the Yukon now during Christmas season, 2019, $299.00
"Which one is going to be the winner here"
The DeWalt in the back there.
ja ja interesting comment
Thanks for the great review. I’ve got the Yukon 46-inch 1-drawer (it’s the one with cabinet drawers below the drawer). I picked it up before the price increases for about $225. I didn’t install the wheels and it’s a very capable and sturdy lathe stand and cabinet to keep some of my wood finishes. I’m planning on getting the 9-drawer (now $350!!) as soon as they’re back in stock in Virginia. Appreciate the great content!
The 9 drawer is $425 now
@@JohnWilliamLeonard35 I’ve got two 9-drawers now too. I keep an eye on the HF emails and it’s been on sale a lot lately for about $375, I think. Still a good value, but those prices have been Bidenized everywhere!
Too bad they stopped offering this within the last two weeks and replaced it with a shameful box that is the same size but they removed the bottom 8 drawers in lieu of some cabinets that dramatically reduce usable storage space, not to mention you’ll now have to stoop down to be able to reach anything towards the back. Sorry mistake.
Martin Mankins i feel i was looking forward to get that model but they dont sell it anymore
Martin Mankins Thats the box I see on the web page. I cant find the one this guy is talking about. Maybe Im a few months behind.
Have you done a comparison on the us general vs yukon? I know they are both sold at Harbor Freight, but I am interested in the pros and cons of both. Great videos! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos :)
I dont have any experience with the Yukon but I just upgraded from the Husky in the video to a 72" US General and its exponential better in terms of quality. Its a very solid box that has some heft to it and can hold a lot more weight. I think whether you go with USG or Yukon would depend on your use. If you are a professional mechanic or hardcore DIY mechanic at home get the US General. If you just want a nice toolbox with a work top to keep household tools in get the Yukon.
Purchased the Yukon after exhaustive research. Wish I had seen this video prior to purchase just to make me feel better about my decision. Winners win, I bought the Yukon and couldn't be happier with the quality from a $300 mobile drawer storage unit. I would agree the paint finish is far superior and the bolt attachments are key. Moisture is always a possibility as I will roll my unit around as needed so the secured wood top was important too. I bought the white cabinet and it is super clean. With this quality I felt no need to purchase an extended warranty on a cabinet so hearing of the 3 year offer on Husky makes me question that as simply a marketing ploy.
Been a while since your last video, is everything ok? I hope to see more vids soon!
I am ashamed that says assembled in the USA. I can't see how it's cheaper to spot weld instead of using the rivnuts, knowing they were trying to save on production cost. Having worked at Home Depot, in the receiving dept, I tried to think of the issues we had with all tool chest/boxes....damaged in transit because of how thin they are.
+Moneypit330 its cheaper because they don't have to buy rivnuts or take the time/machinery to install them......they instead are using robots (most likely) to weld the thin tabs in place at a higher rate of speed with less costs in materials.
Real Tool Reviews I did think more about it after I posted and figured a robot was used for spot welds. But also thinking about positioning of the welded tab over the stamped hole versus sticking the rivnut through a hole for positive alignment? The welded tab itself I am sure is cheaper. Either way I am more than happy with my red U.S. General 5 drawer tool cart from HF that I have had for about 7yrs.
You would think a rivnut could also be located by a pre-drilled hole and installed by a robot at about the same speed as a welded plate. But yes, I'm sure you are correct and it would cost a couple of dollars more for this far superior fastener.
As a side note, I purchase a cheap manual rivnut installer a few years back off of amazon, mainly to install aftermarket products in my vehicles and proceeded to try test one, to rip one out intentionally out of a piece of scrap metal I had drilled a hole and installed one into to see just how strong it was. I couldn't rip the darn thing out without completely destroying the metal around it that it was installed into. A great fastener to say the least! I have since installed many things with it like license plate brackets and aftermarket Lightning, and the great thing is the installations look almost like factory quality instead of the nuts and bolts I used before getting this. They are also great in areas where you can't get to the back to install a nut, like inside of the floor of my SUV where I needed blind fasteners for a gun safe I installed (the gas tank was below it).
Assembled in USA with foreign parts.
The problem with the rivnuts is they are shipping these flat panels back to the USA to assemble them. The welded tabs are much thinner so they can stack more sheets in a container,etc They want to sell a box that says "Proudly assembled in the USA! and keep a few of the USA toolbox manufacturers working. And it must be 299.99 retail. You have to understand Home Depot sets and demands a price point. The manufacturers have to accomodate that. Its really a screwed up way of doing it. I know they demanded a XXX price point for a certian power tool for example and the manufacture had to figure out a way to build it. Ever wonder why your 18vt Dewalt drill or saw or something is a different part number when you buy it from a big box store- Theres a reason- Price point.
Wow. And, the ironic thing is that they're about to open a brand new Harbor Freight on the opposite side of the lot where the old Home Depot is. Looks like i'm going to be taking mama's truck to the grand opening. Good video, very informative. Just didn't see that one coming. Totally called it wrong. Thanks!
yukon to start.
yukon at the end.
VERY surprised!! Seems Husky made it not as good as the good ol days...
I knew it. I have never seen these boxes but reviews proved that Yukon is a great system.
Wish this guy still made vids
As good as the Yukon was, HFT changed to US General which is extremely well built in all tool storage products...for the price
I bought the 56" one and it is a solid built box.
But to get the 44 inch US General you are going to have to fork over another $200, almost doubling the cost of the Yukon box. While yes the General is much better construction, but that cost is the difference between getting a box and not for a lot of people. I think they could have survived together.
Good review, unfortunately it's long outdated now, 5 yrs later. The 46" 9 drawer Husky they now sell has an attached top, drawer liners and double slides on the deep bottom drawer. Hopefully they've upgraded other aspects of it too.
Just grabbed a white Yukon at my local HFT and got 20% off to boot. Its so rad! I love it and it occupies less space than my previous work bench setup. Awesome quality.
Man I'm currently in the market for a tool box. I keep navigating towards the 44 inch us general from harbor freight. I would LOVE to see a review of the harbor freight versus snap on from you. I need to know if it lives up to the hype.
They are virtually identical from what I could tell. I would get the harbor freight box any day of the week. The only thing I did notice on the harbor freight I purchased was the power coat wasn't perfect, A few high spots that almost look like paint runs but purely cosmetic.
John Miller I have been using 44 inch us general at work. I am starting diesel mechanic and been at shop for little over 6months now. We move are boxes around everyday and had no problems. Gets same work done as big thousands of dollar boxes. I would say I hope they had locking drawers since moving box around does make the drawers open on there own. No complains as of now on box. It is solid and gets work done without emptying out the pockets. Would recommend. If your looking just for home then definitely would buy us general.
Bryan Cromwell thanks for the input. I bought thr mechanics tool cart. Its nice but i did overload the bottom drawer. Now i need to replace that rail. Not too big of a deal. But any and all input on the subject is greatly appreciated
US General is the only choice when comparing between the Husky and the Yukon. Both the Husky and the Yukon, which to me, are nothing more than two more boat anchors waiting to grow coral or trick bass into a false sense of security. But, I would suggest going all out on a US General tool box setup. Get more space and quality then need now and that you are shopping for. You will soon find that you need another Tool Box!Why get into the same rut of needing more room when you've already dug that fire pit ... it's time to move on up. Get the HF big guy with every extra add-on that your budget can afford. You will use the space because every tool loving mechanical nut job (me) always gets more tools than needed. I call it -- Getting My Man Stuff. I use the excuse that my son will inherit my tools and boxes to keep the wife's roar down to a barely manageable babble-ramble.
The 44 inch is a really good box for the price. So are the larger US General boxes. My only gripe with the HF units are the plastic drawer latches, they break REALLY easy. Every one I have seen in the stores had at least one broken. I have one of the older 44" units and it has been a good box. It sets next to an older Craftsman and 2 "truck" boxes. All are stuffed to the gills at the moment.
Excellent video!
I would’ve said the Husky would probably come out on top, and I would’ve been wrong. Good review, thanks !
Yukon
I was right. I would get the Yukon. Also if you could doa comparison of the Earthquake xt battery 1/2 impact vs a comparable brand. If you can. That would be awesome
I'm sure he's already got it planned if it's not already filmed.
pillzownsu I saw the Earthquake xt pneumatic but not the battery powered. I just found out the had the battery powered version and I wanna get it
Too expensive. A Earthquake XT is $240 + $40 for 2 year warranty. You can buy a new Dewalt DCF899 with 4Ah battery and charger for $280. You get a 3 year warranty, brushless motor with the DeWalt. The part number is DCF899M1
Chris oh shit cool. Thanks for the info. Guess I'll get the DeWalt
Wow cant believe husky. That box could have been built alot better
That Husky Is Trash
Because of this review my brother and I each bought the Yukon. Thanks for the great review of both cabinets.
DON'T DISMISS THE HUSKY! I decided I wanted to get the Yukon based on the information in this video. But HF doesn't stock them anymore around here. They are all special order saying it could take a month to get. I went to Lowes to look at the Craftsman box and was not impressed at all and it was more money. I went to go look at the husky and to my surprise, it was exactly like the Yukon in your video. Came with the draw liners, wheels are bolted into rib nuts, Bottom drawers have 4 slides each, not 2, all are soft close slides, wood top is bolted to the box, Inside was completely painted, even came with a built in outlet strip with USB ports. It was $30 more than HF, but they had them in stock and HF wanted to charge $100 shipping. So don't discount the husky anymore! I like mine a lot.
How is it still? I'm in this boat looking at both and did they really upgrade the quality of the husky? I'm in new England
@@border4554 My Home Depot had them built already (though I would have preferred if they didn't).. but my point is they were on the floor and you can check them out. Very happy with mine. (I'm in Phoenix)
I was right about the Yukon being best.
I bought the 11 Drawer Husky box about 4 years ago and had zero issues with it. Just went out to see if the larger drawers had two slides and they do. I did line the drawers and I just love this toolbox/workbench. Only assembly was to add the casters. Not sorry I bought this one and I use it every day.
HF Yukon all the way and yes I didn’t see that coming
the new husky at HD appears a bit different. is this an older version?
Yes...the video is from Aug 2017.
Bought the husky 52 inch from Kijiji for 300 dollars brand new. Much better than the one in video. I’m happy with it.
Yes the new husky is way better than the Yukon now and has more room.
The Husky is still junk. It simply won't hold up.
I've been using my husky box for 3 years the exact one and this video fully loaded not a single problem the one top stains very easily
Another amazing video! :D
