This was a really useful and informative video. I just bought this roller cabinet and tool chest from the home depot. I already own several tool boxes but I find they tend to fill up fast. So I ordered this one for future capacity. I know I will use it because I am always buying and acquiring tools. After seeing your video I am convinced I made the right decision. Thanks for taking the time to post it online.
Awesome review. As a Milwaukee guy, I wanted this before even knowing the details. Seeing your review has cemented my unhealthy desire for a big red box in my garage.... Subscribed!
I have this tool chest combo. Mine came keyed differently. I swapped the locks so that the top and bottom use the same key and the ring drawer uses the odd-ball key (which I never use). I love this box. It has, in my mind, only one significant flaw... the drawers don't lock open. They lock closed, but not open, so if you're on uneven ground you might find the drawers rolling back shut while you're trying to get tools out of them. If they had added the keep-open feature that the paperwork drawer has to all of the other drawers I would be very pleased, indeed. The drawers self-closing is an annoyance, but it's still the best tool chest I've ever had. The huge wide drawer in the bottom section holds 48" pry bars and full-size sledge hammers. Niiiiice. Mike
Great review! Love the info for the lock swap! I totally agree with the "built-in work surface" AND.... I'd like to mention, it looks like (if one would prefer) the drill and battery organizer can be removed, then hung/mounted on a vertical (or other horizontal) surface and used that way. Thank you!
not to mention having the power step built in is a huge bonus, and the power to storage is a nice feature because it works for whatever brand you prefer, although I don't think the battery rack will work other company's batteries
I want this box, not just for the function, but I love the look of it. I like the flat red textured finish. Very Handsome looking tool box. It needs to be in my garage.
I have this for my auto tech job. I bought it last month. Senior techs have told me "you were smart! tool boxes doesn't make you the money. what's inside does!" So far its holding up very nicely even when the middle long drawer is filled with the "long auto tech tools" to the max. Box safely holds the weight without trouble. My only complaint the drawer tracks seem to dry up too quickly even after applying silicone that "self shutting" doesn't seem to shut on its own. I am very pleased with it. And I hope Milwaukee makes a tool cart in the future so I can have matching pair.
I have had that same box for about 6 months now and love it. Im and at home mechanic and its works perfect for all my tools. I am really close to running out of room for tools but o well just means its time to buy another box.
Dig the review on this... very informative. AND, I actually was able to order one late last night online. Didn't get the notification that it was back in stock (even though I entered my email address to be notified) but checked randomly and was able to purchase one. So, if you're like me, and have been waiting for months for this come back --- it's back!
Just picked up one of these the other day, $898 canadian, a total perfect boxwith the exception of the grab handle broke (spot weld) Loved the tutorial, thanks
i bought mine as a set , all came keyed the same ! if you purchase separately or not as a bundle, they keys may be different, as far as grease fittings on the Castors, i don't roll my tool boxes miles...only have a 40 x 60 garage...maybe only put a hundred feet a year on my tool chests...no odometer on mine :)... but awesome cabinet for the price !
Spot on review Just bought this August, 2017, very impressed. I reversed the direction on both of the power strips Note - all three of my locks are keyed alike
Good video it confirmed my choice to get one. I went to HD website and it was not listed anymore. I went to the store and they sold me their last floor model for $100.00 off. I took your suggestion and moved the locks. Thats a good idea thanks it worked out well. No box is perfect but this one is one of the best for the price. I just could not swing the high end multi thousand dollar boxes.
I have just the bottom, I've never really been into having the tops I would rather do side cabinets, but it is by far the best box for the money, it has less drawers than the harbor freight but these drawers hold weight better and hold more weight than they are rated for and they open and close much smoother.
Great review, thanks! I've been trying to buy one of these for a couple weeks now. I had to wait until my new garage was finished and now I'm having trouble getting one. They are apparently only going to be available online now at HD, not in stores, and they move fast once in stock. HD also jacked the price up $100.
dean kuczynski Thanks! I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble finding one.....I think the pricing seems to be an area-specific thing.....up here in the Northeast, they are still $698. I know that almost everywhere they sell as soon as they hit the floor, so HD removed them temporarily from their website......I assume the increased price is due to the demand being so high. As interest levels off, I would expect it to drop back down.
+Real Tool Reviews Home Depot's web site now states that the item has been discontinued. An email to Milwaukee Tool got me this response: "Thank you for your email to Milwaukee Tool. The 46" Rolling Steel Storage Chest and Cabinet was an exclusive item only offered through the Home Depot’s. We do not have a listing of which locations that has them available. This was a limited offer however, with the high demand for this item, we may have stock coming soon. We do not have an estimated time of arrival. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance."
+dean kuczynski I would assume Home Depot canceled it then.....Milwaukee would have zero incentive to discontinue a hot-selling item --- but HD was losing out on countless sales of their Husky brand boxes because anyone that saw these in-store would be buying the Milwaukee boxes instead. I have not seen one in a store for over a month....Hopefully they will be able to release another model in the near future, but if it is gone for good....thank Home Depot.
I sure wish that was available last year when I needed to purchase a new top and bottom box. I ended up getting the 46" Kobalt and am very pleased with it, but primarily being a Milwaukee tool owner, that system would have been nice to have. Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait for a few years before considering a Milwaukee chest and cabinet. Great review.
No speakers on the model I bought. The system I bought is the stainless steel version with a power strip on lower cabinet only. Very heavy like the Milwaukee and nice smooth operating drawers. If only I had waited another year, then that Milwaukee would be sitting in my garage. Soooo jealous!!!!
I've been eyeballing that box for a while. When I walked into Home Depot yesterday the price had dropped to $598 so I had to pull the trigger. That price probably indicates that a new version is coming out but that's ok, this is everything I need and more.
I just picked this up after watching this review and went to switch the locks like in this video but just a heads up, the newer versions of this box all three locks are different, and the casters have grease fittings.
Could tell me if the lock 9bly locks one drawer or if all drawers become locked.. kind of a big deal to know before I buy. Gotta love fellow workers with sticky fingers lol
Old product but still a great review. I am liking Husky's new 52" at the same price point, but this chest is still good and was a steal at its original price.
This box actually looks really nice, some of their other ones aren’t as good. Only thing I’d like to see as a mechanic is a slightly deeper top drawer on the bottom cabinet with dual slides.
Bought them together and all one key. Also just take out the rubber grommets and pull the power strip cord through. No need to take off drawer. Great box for my 700 price.
Bought the exact same box all the keys work on all 3 locks wondering if they gave u a mismatched set lol but would not mind a different key for the single drawer great video tho and best tool box I ever bought love it
Can you please check if any of the other brands of batteries fits in the slide-in battery storage too? I can see you have several other brands of slide-in batteries like Bosch and DeWalt too, so it should be easy to check which brands fits in the slide-in battery storage. Of course you could always cut a bit off the side if some of the other brand of batteries are wider, but it would be nice if they could just slide in and fit.
Great Video. Milwaukee and Home Depot are sold out, at least where I live. And the Online status says "Currently Unavailable". I'm an old Milwaukee tool fool for decades. Disappointed in Milwaukee to not ensure every store has sufficient stock. This is a really good tool box set. Another thing, I wished they provided two 3" inch drawers on the roll cart. Most mechanics have SAE and Metric Deep or tall sockets and prefer to keep them in separate drawers. And include, either as an option or included, a holed shelf for long pry bars or anything that most mechanics will hang on the side of the rollaway.
+Hawaiian F150 Thanks! I wouldnt blame Milwaukee on this one.....it seems like Home Depot (exclusive seller of them) has not placed additional orders.....which I assume is because these killed the sales on the Husky brand boxes they sell. Hopefully Milwaukee will release a follow-up next year (bigger & better) with full width drawers & set up with the mechanic in mind. I personally use this box in the woodshop, not the garage, since I am not a fan of the shallow/narrow drawer layout. It works for misc carpentry tools, but for automotive tools you are 100% correct, it is not ideal.
That's all I needed to pull the trigger. In fact I went in expecting to pay $698 and was thrilled when I found out the price had dropped. I had almost bought one the week before and got busy and couldn't get over to HD. Glad that happened.
I bought the bottom portion of this tool chest because the SUV that I borrowed to buy this could barely hold the bottom portion. I never got the chance to buy the top portion and I am stuck with just the bottom portion. At my local home depots, the bottom portion is always out of stock and the top portion is always in stock. Anyone here only has the bottom one like me?
I checked this out in HD this weekend. The drawers are very nice. Do you have any pneumatic impact wrenches to test in the "power tool organizer." I could see myself using the top for cordless tools and the bottom drawer for my impacts that are much heavier.
I bought this and the workbench one based mainly on your reviews. LOVE the boxes, they are excellent Today, I was in Lowes and saw a Craftsman knock off. About the same price, but absolute crap. Id' love to send you the pics of how cheap and thin the metal is, how it's not boxed or welded
I could buy that box brand new off a friend. But the only thing that I don't really like is the fact that the bottom has massive drawers and as a mechanic I don't really know what I could put in them
You do really good reviews you dot seem biased going in that's the man thing never understand thumbs down the only reason I can see a thumbs down is potty mouth or biased things like that GOOD JOB
Thanks a lot! There are a lot of trolls out there.....it just lets me know that they also are watching......funny thing though, since clicking/watching increases the engagement --- they actually help me get more popular, so the jokes on them! :)
I don't know why so many words was miss spelled should of reread it before posting I was in a hurry but hopefully you got what I was putting out GOOD JOB HATERS WILL HATE
Just to let you know I’ve had mine for a few years and now the paint has flaked off on a big spot. I’m not trying to say I didn’t get something on it but first time I’ve seen it flake off that much
Amazing video love the comparison about time someone compared harbor freight tools to the big brand names snap on tools are a joke don't know why anyone would buy them
I am looking for a box I can unload by myself if I can't get help so using handtruck and ramps from my truck. Would pull out the drawers to reduce weight but want to know if I can easily remove top chest from bottom, is it possible?
I unloaded this by myself out of the back of a Honda Pilot.....no drawers removed. However, the hardest part is setting the top of the box onto the bottom chest. You really do need two people for that. Also -- the top is literally held on with gravity + 2 very small L brackets on the rear corners....basically folded sheetmetal with 4 bolts each (Phillips screw heads).
With US General Gen2 boxes out, would you recommend their 44in or this? I do have M18 tools so could take advantage of some of the features in this box. Use is mainly automotive.
+bighunterman77 I highly doubt it....They have a similar design, but I cant imagine that either would agree to purchase them from the OEM if they were selling to the direct competition also.
Just bought this box and tried your trick of swapping the locks around. WTH am I doing wrong? I can't get the bottom lock to function properly now. It won't rotate fully.
shoot! can this baby fit in the chevy trailbrazer? with the box etc?lol Cant wait until i get my truck next month. Need to get it before it goes no stock
+Pinky Racing I fit in inside our Honda Pilot......had to remove it from the box at the store though. I have a feeling once this batch is gone, they may not be coming back......good luck!
Seriously, this is about the best review for anything ever.
Me watching these videos: "Man that husky is a piece of shit"
* proceeds to go to work with my tiny ass cheap ass toolbox that I got for free *
Love how this man put so much trust in the weight rating and actually stepped inside the drawer lol
I wish this guy was still making reviews. Some of the best reviews i have seen.
Hopefully again soon my friend

I have been eye balling this toolbox ever since it came out on Milwaukees press release, and then you do a review on it. How cool is that.
Thanks for the detailed review! I just switched locks in my tool chest and works like a charm! All the best to you and your channel!
Awesome review. As a Milwaukee guy, I wanted this before even knowing the details. Seeing your review has cemented my unhealthy desire for a big red box in my garage....
Subscribed!
Grant Yount Thanks Grant! I think you will be happy with this box if you end up getting one :)
Same here. I just saw their 56in model but it's double the price of this one. I need to feed my Milwaukee addiction with at least this box
I have this tool chest combo. Mine came keyed differently. I swapped the locks so that the top and bottom use the same key and the ring drawer uses the odd-ball key (which I never use).

Awesome review. Saw this chest at Home Depot and told myself that the top chest is perfect for myself. Thanks to this review I'm totally getting it.
David Young Thanks! I think you will really like it!
I want this box, not just for the function, but I love the look of it. I like the flat red textured finish. Very Handsome looking tool box. It needs to be in my garage.
After watching your reviews. I am sold. Will be picking up one this week. Thanks Daniel
Charles Camilleri Nice! Good choice!

And I hope Milwaukee makes a tool cart in the future so I can have matching pair.
My coworker has a version of this box and after several years his slides are smooth and still self shut. Don’t think he ever has lived them.
Just bought the bottom half ! Starting my mechanic apprentiship in April ! Super excited!
This is the best review of this box I have seen! I have been looking for new tool box and I think I found it thanks to you!
I have had that same box for about 6 months now and love it. Im and at home mechanic and its works perfect for all my tools. I am really close to running out of room for tools but o well just means its time to buy another box.
Great review. I was wondering how you could fill 14 minutes about a tool box, but it was very informative and now of course I need one!
Dig the review on this... very informative. AND, I actually was able to order one late last night online. Didn't get the notification that it was back in stock (even though I entered my email address to be notified) but checked randomly and was able to purchase one.

but awesome cabinet for the price !
Spot on review
Just bought this August, 2017, very impressed. I reversed the direction on both of the power strips
Note - all three of my locks are keyed alike
I got the last one of these in NW OH and SW MI. Had to call over 10 Home Depots to find one. Great box, glad i found one.
I have the smaller 30 inch, 12 drawer, 2 piece box and I love it. My top box, bottom box, and independent locking drawer all use the same key.
Thank you for this informative video. I've been kicking the tires on one of these for a while now and you have answered several questions I had.
switching those locks is genius
Good video it confirmed my choice to get one. I went to HD website and it was not listed anymore. I went to the store and they sold me their last floor model for $100.00 off.

I saw this at a Home Depot a few days ago, then stumbled on this review. Great job -
Love the music you use for the intro and the ending. I should also really tell my dad about that, he'd love it.
Damn I just brought mine and I have no regret it. I waited 1 week for it.. so freaking excited. When I get a called from home depot...finally
Another really nice review, Daniel. Milwaukee is becoming my favorite brand these days.
Lt. Albert Thanks! Good choice...they make a lot of great tools :)
I got tool chest last week. A great value. I love it. I thinking about buying 4 more of them to install in my van..
I like that you speak loudly and clearly.
Have watched a few others and every review is spot on. Great review. Just subscribed.
Thanks!

This is the best tool box review I have ever seen
Donnie Channell Thanks!
I was consider buying a 52" Husky, but after watching your video I think a Milwaukee tool chest is the way to go.
I've been eyeballing that box for a while. When I walked into Home Depot yesterday the price had dropped to $598 so I had to pull the trigger. That price probably indicates that a new version is coming out but that's ok, this is everything I need and more.
Thank you for detailed viewing,
Wish I can get hold of this soon in Scandinavia.
VTX1800MC Thanks! I am not sure if this will be a worldwide item, but if it becomes popular I assume it will be.
I just picked this up after watching this review and went to switch the locks like in this video but just a heads up, the newer versions of this box all three locks are different, and the casters have grease fittings.
Not available in Canada yet. Looks nice I do like to charging station idea but the small split drawers not so good, I like the Husky better.
Steve Rob Yeah I absolutely prefer wider drawers.....split drawers are not that appealing when you have longer tools to deal with.
I am from BRASIL and I am in brasil, everithing Milwaukee makes it is a great quality verity of creativity looks like they know exactly what you need.
There is a grease zerk on them I just picked up this box today! The zerk is on the underside of the wheel
AWSOME video bud, just bought one and I’m exited about it. Looking forward to setting mine up. Thanks
Brilliant idea with the locks!
I just picked up this at home depot for $598.00, couldn't believe it. I jumped on it. Cedar Rapids Iowa
Nice! 👍
Could tell me if the lock 9bly locks one drawer or if all drawers become locked.. kind of a big deal to know before I buy. Gotta love fellow workers with sticky fingers lol
Yesss!!!! I saw this in home depot and i loved it! Thanks for the awesome review!
DieselRiver Haha that is funny....I guess they are popping up all over the place :) Thanks!

This box actually looks really nice, some of their other ones aren’t as good. Only thing I’d like to see as a mechanic is a slightly deeper top drawer on the bottom cabinet with dual slides.
Bought them together and all one key. Also just take out the rubber grommets and pull the power strip cord through. No need to take off drawer. Great box for my 700 price.
I think have two set of slide on the single draw what is the full length of the to chest would be a good improvement
Bought the exact same box all the keys work on all 3 locks wondering if they gave u a mismatched set lol but would not mind a different key for the single drawer great video tho and best tool box I ever bought love it

Of course you could always cut a bit off the side if some of the other brand of batteries are wider, but it would be nice if they could just slide in and fit.
Did I miss where you said you were going to load the drawers with tools and try it?
Miss your content. Please come back! :-(
Great video! Would like to know if the power strip has USB ports? Saw this on a Husky box video -good idea...
Wow, just as I was about to pull the trigger on one of these, they have disappeared from Home Depot's web site.
Great Video. Milwaukee and Home Depot are sold out, at least where I live. And the Online status says "Currently Unavailable". I'm an old Milwaukee tool fool for decades. Disappointed in Milwaukee to not ensure every store has sufficient stock. This is a really good tool box set. Another thing, I wished they provided two 3" inch drawers on the roll cart.

Milwaukee increases the price from $598 to $698 and now $798. No longer a good deal or good buy! FYI if you are looking to buy one!
It's still a great value, just no longer insanely great.
was there yesterday and the 46 is down to 598 now
That's all I needed to pull the trigger. In fact I went in expecting to pay $698 and was thrilled when I found out the price had dropped. I had almost bought one the week before and got busy and couldn't get over to HD. Glad that happened.
Anyone know why they are not selling the high capacity one???
I bought the bottom portion of this tool chest because the SUV that I borrowed to buy this could barely hold the bottom portion. I never got the chance to buy the top portion and I am stuck with just the bottom portion. At my local home depots, the bottom portion is always out of stock and the top portion is always in stock. Anyone here only has the bottom one like me?
I checked this out in HD this weekend. The drawers are very nice. Do you have any pneumatic impact wrenches to test in the "power tool organizer." I could see myself using the top for cordless tools and the bottom drawer for my impacts that are much heavier.
Do you have any pictures of both the bottom and upper chest filled with tools? I am skeptical on the depth of the drawers.
Had mine for about 2 weeks... love it.
Is there a video showing how to change out the locks on this tool chest?
That lock hack is genius!
Awesome buddy!
FordTechMakuloco Thanks dude! :) Did you get one yet?
i just bought one a month ago from home depot that was pre assembled and all the locks use the same key. i dont know if i just got a fluke or not.
Open a drawer, place your palm in the center and press down. If the sides of the drawer flex in (Kirkland) shut the drawer and walk away.
Hahaha.....nothing like my Vidmar ;)
My favorite tool box and youtuber
Can someone tell me if all the drawers lock on the bottom chest please ?! Asap!
very great report and amazing tools box
+amjad amj Thanks!
Another great review, I think I found my next tool box .
I bought this and the workbench one based mainly on your reviews. LOVE the boxes, they are excellent
Today, I was in Lowes and saw a Craftsman knock off. About the same price, but absolute crap. Id' love to send you the pics of how cheap and thin the metal is, how it's not boxed or welded
I could buy that box brand new off a friend. But the only thing that I don't really like is the fact that the bottom has massive drawers and as a mechanic I don't really know what I could put in them
+Real Tool Reviews where is the best place to purchase this tool box as I see the Home depot online is $700 now?
Excellent video, needed exactly this to make my decision - thank you!
You do really good reviews you dot seem biased going in that's the man thing never understand thumbs down the only reason I can see a thumbs down is potty mouth or biased things like that GOOD JOB
Thanks a lot! There are a lot of trolls out there.....it just lets me know that they also are watching......funny thing though, since clicking/watching increases the engagement --- they actually help me get more popular, so the jokes on them! :)
I don't know why so many words was miss spelled should of reread it before posting I was in a hurry but hopefully you got what I was putting out GOOD JOB HATERS WILL HATE
I have it and I love it thank God for Milwaukee 🙌🏽
Will the power tool organizer fit up top and allow the lid to close?
Always thorough and intelligent. Thank you!
it's $ 499.00 at home depot in RI
Just to let you know I’ve had mine for a few years and now the paint has flaked off on a big spot. I’m not trying to say I didn’t get something on it but first time I’ve seen it flake off that much
Any comparison to other brands?
How do you think this stacks up against the Kobalt boxes at lowes? They are basically the same price and size.
+Alvarez Metal Works Not really....the Kobalt this size is over twice the price.
Do you still review Milwaukee tools? If so you should review the packout.
I noticed that you got all of your stickers off without losing any paint, what was your suggested method for safely removing them?
It is powered coated.....I just peeled up an edge and pulled them off. No issues at all.
Amazing video love the comparison about time someone compared harbor freight tools to the big brand names snap on tools are a joke don't know why anyone would buy them
I am looking for a box I can unload by myself if I can't get help so using handtruck and ramps from my truck. Would pull out the drawers to reduce weight but want to know if I can easily remove top chest from bottom, is it possible?

Also -- the top is literally held on with gravity + 2 very small L brackets on the rear corners....basically folded sheetmetal with 4 bolts each (Phillips screw heads).
With US General Gen2 boxes out, would you recommend their 44in or this? I do have M18 tools so could take advantage of some of the features in this box. Use is mainly automotive.
Absolutely I would go with US General. You can add a top box, side cabinet, and storage locker.
Hmm ok. Thanks for your reply. I appreciate the effort you put into your reviews.
Great toolbox great review ! I am not a big milwaukee fan but this toolbox is great! I dont think milwaukee will seel it in europe, to bad
Matthias Jantze Thanks! You never know.....if this is a popular item, I am sure that they will expand the sales further.
great video! Still no USB port to free up a plug to charge a phone.
any idea if this is made by the same folks making the dewalt boxes? i got a dewalt top box on top of my snappy 3 bay, and it's a good heavy duty box
+bighunterman77 I highly doubt it....They have a similar design, but I cant imagine that either would agree to purchase them from the OEM if they were selling to the direct competition also.
Milwaukee is no longer making these. It's too bad, was planning on buying it this summer.
I wish the bottom box’s top drawer had double slides.
Just bought this box and tried your trick of swapping the locks around. WTH am I doing wrong? I can't get the bottom lock to function properly now. It won't rotate fully.
Remove the bars....rotate the lock to the unlocked position & remove the key.....reinstall the bars....then try it.
Real Tool Reviews ok so I had it right the whole time, I just didn't realize I had to have the drawer in for it to function properly.
shoot! can this baby fit in the chevy trailbrazer? with the box etc?lol Cant wait until i get my truck next month. Need to get it before it goes no stock
+Pinky Racing I fit in inside our Honda Pilot......had to remove it from the box at the store though. I have a feeling once this batch is gone, they may not be coming back......good luck!
