I work as a diesel mechanic and I've seen guys go all out and buy a $10,000 dollar snap on box and some spent only $800 dollars for a us general box. Both boxes got used and abused and both held up over the years, the only difference is it cost the poor guy a arm and a leg for the similar box. I say you cant go wrong with a us general box, the tools is what you use daily rather put the extra cash toward quality tools that will last a life time...

I've had my full bank for six months or so and I love it. I've had the 56" top and bottom with an end locker for a while and got tired of walking back and forth to get tools, so I decided to get the full bank for all my most used tools. It's been incredible to have almost everything I need within reach and I use the top bay of the cart to hold all the tools I'm currently using so they're not in an engine bay or on a table. The only problem I've had with it is that the powder coating it's a little thin and there are a few small chips where it's down to the bare metal just from setting tools on it or bumping it into things without much force at all.

Yeah I just bought the same box in red, harbor freight has them for 599.00 now The emailed me a coupon for 25% off any item so I ended up picking it up for $450. I had one of their five drawer carts I bought a few years ago and it was in excellent condition. I was able to sell that for $180 so I was able to upgrade to this cart for about 300 bucks. I'm using it as a second toolbox to put place some items in that I didn't have room in for my main box that I had to store on shelves in the back room. So now I can have everything in my main garage area. I'm putting a power strip in the top and I'm going to use the top section for all my battery chargers and batteries since my tools are in my main box. But it's a decent box for the price.

Kame Trick... Nice review of that cart.. Harbor Freight has that cart on sale right now for $599. I just confirmed the price on their website. I am thinking about getting one at that price.

The Harbor Freight cart only has a 90 day warranty and it's made in China. That's why there is a difference in price..

Interesting question. So I just checked it cause I’d never thought of that. If a drawer is “shut to” but not actually latched, locking the box (lever under the lid) does not prevent the “shut to” drawer from opening and closing. Something I thought was neat, though, is that you *can* fully shut the drawer left open and once you do, it will stay locked shut. Thanks for the good question!

They’re going worldwide now under different brands. Not made along the lines of the other US General boxes though. Feel cheap & flimsy in comparison to them. Shame really I don’t see anyone else making a low cost version of this style box? Up the quality or lower the price? Take The standard HF roll cab & put a flip top section on that. Now that would be a Strap On killer

It looks like a carbon copy of my Snappy box with a few improvements. Only two of the casters on my box swivel, the latching strips only span 3/4 of the width and my bottom drawer only has one set of slides. You paid less than I did for my box used. It would be interesting to see if there is a significant weight difference (thinner steel, less reinforcement, etc).
@KameTrick3 жыл бұрын
This is awesome feedback, thank you for sharing. I have some buddies in the mechanic industry but haven’t made it out to check out their boxes for a direct comparison. If you know the weight of your box I’m sure I could weigh mine, just to satisfy that curiosity as it’s a great question...but I bet that’s a tall order since we will both be packed down with tools haha
@TheLexiconDevils3 жыл бұрын
Yes they’re thin & not very well reinforced. The drawer latch things will break soon enough. Could have been a fantastic product like their 5 drawer ones are but they dropped the ball going for looks over materials.

Yeah but the Matco drawer sliders are much much nicer. And if your doing work professionally, it's nice having a drawer that just glides smoothly out. Now for home, and taking to the track o. Weekends, the HF is great. They both have there place to me. But once you've had and used the Matco, you'd understand the differences

Sorry but the US General does not compare to the quality of the Snap On box, plus the Snap On box is made in America the US General is made in China. Support America and American workers. Back to the build quality of the box vs Snap On, the Snap On is head and shoulders better build quality.
