I have the blue Yukon and love it. No issues after 2 years. I highly recommend this.
Justin, some points you may like and use that you omitted.
1) The bottom drawer has 2 ball bearing slides. All the drawer slides are rated at 100lbs. each, so that drawer is pretty tough.
2) The interior, when you remove the drawers is fully painted.
3) The wheels and the side handle are mounted on press screw rivets, so they are quite strong. You can easily remove the handle, or move it to either side.
4) The drawers came with skid mats.
5) The wood top is anchored, AND the top is reinforced.
Did I miss anything?
Still a junk box
@@kevinragsdale6256 are you mad that you spent over 1k just to hold your tools
@@kevinragsdale6256it’s a great toolbox for Joe homeowner. Why would I spend $4k on a made in China snapon box
Here I am four years later and about to make this the kitchen cabinet for tiny house. Storage and cook surface.
Very ingenious👍
Just bought this unit in white. Super clean finish and look. Your review is pretty spot on. Couldn't be happier with the purchase.
I apologize for jumping the gun and not watching the video all the way to the end but thank you for measuring the overall height it will be a perfect match in my kitchen. I think every woman should own a Yukon rolling toolbox the drawers are awesome for storing pots and pans dish towels utensils miscellaneous seasonings and I'm sure my husband will be thrilled that I want a big white rolling tool box in our kitchen for him to dehydrate and make his own beef jerky
What an Awesome Idea & I'm glad you were able to get the information you were looking for as I have sold the box a couple years back.
$370 (on sale) in 2022. Should have gotten it when it was $250
I just bought one a few weeks ago (2024) and got it for $290 on sale. I'd say it being same price or less 6 years after this video says something.
Dang, it's $350 on sale right now in 2024! That is very impressive.
$350 full price in 2024. There's a $25 off $100+ purchases so ~$325. I'm going to wait on a sale or maybe a Black Friday deal.
I bought the 56” US General top and bottom a couple years back after living with the 44” Gen1 US General box since 2015.
The shallow front-to-back depth of the Gen-1 was a major limiting factor, like that yukon. As he mentioned- maybe as a second- overflow- box.
I just started a job as an rv technician. I was a locksmith for 10 yrs.. I bought this box and the quinn 428 piece for about 800 out the door with the 2 yr extended NORMAL USE warranty on the box.
The guys in the shop who have been there 10 plus years really like it. Amd these dudes have snap on, us general, matco, amd Mac boxes from the 90s
The salesmen every comment on how nice it looks
I also have a us general 4 drawer that was gifted to me.
The height is low yes.. but I'm 5 ft 10 amd I works great at the height
Just got one today , $350. I wanted the white, but all they had was red and blue. I got the blue. Seems like it's a pretty nice box for the garage.
got my blue about 2wks ago to replace my 20yrold craftsman 26" box setup. very happy with it and gives me room to spread out, put replacement parts on. My bay is at a high traffic area in shop so this gives more room to work over a 24" box. Also, being 5'8" the lower height is perfect for me 😉
I really like mine, pretty sturdy and a good beginner box. I made a hutch for it and now it holds alot more tools and tool cases. Cant say anything bad about it.
Alot of people are complaining about hf doing away with this. The one they are offering now is perfect for me, or more correctly my workplace given that all it's going to be used for is as a workstation. All we have is a little 14 by 14 in cart, with no room to work, so I am definitely going to try to convince my boss to buy us this "tool chest" / workstation. Fun fact, they still offer this version.
I like gloss black tool boxes
Word of advice clean your box after every shift or major job at the least . Makes you look like a professional and when your customers see that they will appreciate it at the end of the day
Just got this one, I was glad that the store I was in had two of these, only bought one, this type in fact. I didnt like the one with cabinet drawers, and I got it for less than 250.00 out the door. Great video bro. ... I wouldn't have bought this box if it wasn't for your info on this.
I'm going to get 40 or so feet of these and bolt them together and add a back side to make it a foot wider then build a shelf system-upstairs over top for storage with under LED lighting.
I purchased the Husky about 18 months ago and a Yucon a few weeks ago. My Yucon is the model with lower cabnet doors with two shelves inside. The older Husky is a little better than the newer stile. I have many tool stacks in my shop (four roller cabinet/chest sets by Craftsman & Waterloo industries) that are about 45 years old and still work well. I didn't realy nead another box in the shop but purchased both of these boxes to use as counter/cabinets for my skoolie conversion as they take up less space and offer great storage and counter space for the kitchen area. The casters will be omited and they will mount on frame work and anchor to the side walls. I have used michanics tool chests for this befor and had to build my own countrer tops, but this is a perfect answer to the install with locking drawers and all . I like your presentation & will probably go back to pick up the 9 drawer for Yucon for additional storage. Thank you.
Thanks for the video Mr. Dow. I wanted to go get a cheap box for my home garage and this was a good video! Leaving to Harbor Freight now to pick this up.
Glad I could help
@@JustinDowDIYcentralhighway and of course I spent another $60 on shit I didn't need Ha!
Just brought one home for my race shop. Our team is on a budget, but this is perfect for us. It’s gonna hold up. It’s rugged for the price!
Thank you for the video. Was looking for the dimensions! I appreciate it. Have a blessed day
@Justin,
2 years later....are you still liking the toolbox? I'm thinking of buying one at my local Harbor Freight. They have a parking lot sale coming up in about a week. Hopefully it goes on sale.
Thanks for the review. I'm in the market for a new box but there are so many decent ones out there it's tough to pull the trigger.
I really want something with two full length drawers up top. Still looking.
Just sold my small craftsman toolbox, to upgrade. I'm seriously thinking about the yukon rolling tool cart, I've been comparing different brands, durability and price you can't go wrong with the yukon 👍
Don't buy the Yukon has problems
@@juanfigueroa1676which Brand do you recommend similar to this one ?
I got the us general 44 top and bottom. I like them
I want the one with a single top drawer and shelves where I would store all my service kits in blow molded cases. I just wish they made it in red to match my 44 inch top and bottom combo.
They have a model with dual doors instead of drawers, not sure about the shelves.
You have the smart wheels on the non-handle side. I like this thing. I need to drop and get two for a workbench setup. Big fan of black.
thanks for the video! I'm looking for a new box, I've outgrown my old craftsman and I need an overflow box. Maybe I'll look closer at this one the next time I'm at HF
Hi there. I notice this video was 3 years old. How is this chest still holding up? Are the drawers sticking? Is it rusting anywhere? How's the wood surface? I am interested in getting one. Thanks
Looks great, nice review. I am looking at getting a bigger box when we move into our new home. I want to get the white version just because I think it would look nice but worried about keeping it clean like you said.
Grabbed one today. Nice cabinet. I found no flaws whatsoever. I love it. I will probably buy the other model that has two big doors and shelves when I can. No discounts today.
The December 2019 flyer has this toolbox featured on the cover. I went into my local store and they said it was not instock. I ordered one and payed for it. They said it would take four to six weeks for it arrive. We will see!
Did It ever show up?
Yes it n two weeks. I am very happy with it.
You forgot 1 important thing, How is the locking mechanism..I just returned a husky box because the latch was garbage....Thinking of buying this
Both this and husky are garbage
What I want to know is, will the bottom drawers fit a fan(the worksite style with outlets) and a large lunch bag.
I was thinking about getting this to replace my Kobalt work bench, but it wouldn't be a practical setup because as much as I would like the extra drawers, I would lose lots of bulk space (and buying a storage cabinet is not an option). I think I will buy the bulk storage version of this with the 2 doors instead of the extra 8 drawers.
Get a Coupon and I thinking maybe my accounting dept Slash Department Head (thee Wife) will let me get it?" If I wasn't approval I need a solid Power Point (short detailed answers for all the BS questions she might ask) and then your vid popped up!
Very detailed, not a lot of "Umm Moments" which I appreciate and my request was APPROVED!
lmmfao so thanks and I'll be watching your past and future content ✌🏿
I’m thinking about buying the white Yukon for my paint studio. Would the white get blotchy and faded like the red one?
I just bought a blue one. It will be used in a tent garage.
I have the blue one of this and I have two drawers that will not lock no matter what I do
Justin, I have a question for you. I just purchased this tool box and I am waiting for it to come in. I have some equipment that I need to mount on the top of the tool box. I have a 1 ton arbor press and 6 ton “A” frame press that I would like to mount. What would you recommend so I don’t have to put holes in the wood top? Do you have any suggestions? Or is this even possible?
Nice quick easy to understand video. Do these come with an outlet, soft close, and any idea what gauge steel is used? Thinking of one of these for my first toolbox, but trying to compare it to the kobalt 46in x 18in 22g 11,127cu in and the Husky 46in x 24in 21g 19,650cu in. This Yukon's on sale now until 12/3 for $299 with a supper coupon. Thanks
I bought one today at $399 with a three-month waiting selling fast
Thanks Justin! I'm looking at getting one for my.barber shop. I think i saw it's kissing cousin, the Husky, for a higher price... Looks like I'll be getting a Yukon.
This is back at Harbor Freight. I want to get one and mount a little 4 inch vise to it. How old you recommend I do that, with bolts clear through the wood and metal, with lag bolts through the wood, with threaded inserts into the wood, or some other way?
Hey I know your video is 3 years old but if you still have your Yukon toolbox would you mind telling me how tall it is including the wheels? I'm planning to use it in my kitchen and I was hoping it would be roughly the same height as my countertops which I believe are 36 in
is the yukon as ggod as the us general. I read about 16 and 20 gauge steel. US general is a bit more money but it is deeper and perhaps heavier steel. Is it worth the difference. I know it a matter of personal taste. As a diy the yukon os probably perfect for me.
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.
so stupid :(
They're back
I saw both types (this one in the video and the one you describe) at our local HF so don’t give up hope!
to be honest, i would choose the huskey 52 inch over this just for the size diff. for hf i would say it would be good for the value if you want a wood top box. great video brother
watch the video on comparison of Yukon vrs husky 46 inch tool boxes and you will choose Yukon as it is built way nicer in construction
"Real Tool Reviews" compared this Yukon box to the similar Husky model. The Husky model is taller, but other detailed differences with the Yukon like the wood being fastened to the top of the box and all surfaces painted inside and outside show that the Yukon is better built. It's number four or five on my list of options I'm looking at to replace my current 26" chest/cabinet combo.
Donald Hollums what others are you looking at it in this 200-400 price range?
Shawn K I’m looking at a 41”- 44” cabinet (I’ll consider a top box at a later time.) from Homak sold at NAPA, a Kobalt sold at Lowe’s, a Craftsman and a US General box sold at Harbor Freight, in that order of preference. Most likely I’ll need to order first three choices and HF will have their options in stock. Lord willing I’ll have one by around Summertime. The Kobalt may be the only other one in the $300-$400, I’m only going by my preference first and then the price. If I save up more I can get a Snap-on box next summer.🙄
Donald Hollums iu
Kim Hobbins huh?
Like the box. Just wish it was a little more taller.
me too
Is this delivered "assembled" vs. "in a box," i.e., "to be assembled" by myself?
I have the box, is it perfect? No. but its 300$ and theres not a single thing you can complain about for that price. To sell it at that pricepoint, sacrifices had to be made, they savrificed the right places in my opinion as the box is very well built. Have no regrets on buying it
The height of the box is my only issue with it. I wish it was tall enough to attach to my side cabinet to use for expansion.
I agree
Rob's Wrenches add bigger casters or washers for your height modifications
I used mine daily for work, entry level box. But the lock wouldnt completely roll over and the day i got fired i tried locking it and the key broke in it (cheap keys) but other than that its a good box
my top long drawer keeps sliding out it does not stay in when i push it in ,the other drawers stay and even when you push the other drawers a littler more they lock in help what is the solution and i do not want to take it back
I know this is an old video but I’m sure that thing is way better than the Husky box I just bough. 🤦🏼♂️
By the way, diameter is the measure across a circle at its widest point.
Does it have threaded bungs installed on the sides for attatching other boxes or accessories?
When you buy these do they come built?
Do you still own this tool box? If so, how has it held up? Is the top sturdy enough to mount a bench grinder, and a good vice?
I no longer own this tool box, but most tool boxes have enough space to mount a Bench Vice
@@JustinDowDIYcentralhighway did it fall apart/turn to junk, or did you just sell and upgrade to another one? Still harbor freight or Snap-On quality?
I hate how once the wide drawer gets weighted down, it does the fat man shimmy when it's opening. The wide drawer on my Milwaukee box does the same thing.
Are the drawers pretty solid or do they wiggle ?
Solid review👍
Inside diameter of the drawers? Are they round???
Thinkin about getting one
The wood on top is actually bolted to the tool box. The Husky version is not.
The bottom drawer is also stronger than the Husky version.
When you’re talking about the drawers, you should say depth instead of height.
And some parallelogram dimension rather than diameter
I'm in the market for a home toolbox is well work thank you
Do you still have this? How's it holding up 3 years later?
I don't. I sold it after I upgraded
Does this come with drawer inlays?
Dubois Creek Cattle LLC Yes it does
If you still want the 9 drawer Yukon with the wood top u need to get them now from your local store cause Harbor Freight is replacing them with a cabinet type. The 9 drawer is no longer on their website.
Arkholemark Goshithan it is discontinued but our store just got 2 in and they let me have one for $200. I missed getting the Husky at Christmas for $199. So I am glad I happened upon this one.
Love mine
Reintroduced? I saw them in February, 2020.
GERALD FLORES yes, they were out of stock for a year. They’re back now
I own one I love it getting a us general
The height doesn't bother me as much as that damn 18 inches (not even) deep crap. Not enough room. And HF has to come up with some more draw configuration's. It's the only thing holding me back.
Ok , if you are a hobby mechanic but junk if you work with your tools for a living
Except the drawers want to open on their own.
$339 in 2021
A man after my own thoughts
350 in my area now
419 now
The inside diameter of a rectangle drawer? Um, ya. I stopped there.
That's not pine. Probably Beech.
Inside diameter ??? nit wit lmao 🤣
Two ads= thumbs down.
It's a junk tool box remember u get what u pay for.
Had a cornhole box I loved, yukon is a better box than my snap on kra Dale Earnhardt box I paid 6 grand for.
