Great review! I'm an engineer with a background in science, physics and a number of other disciplines in history, technical writing and electronics. So I may have a deeper appreciation than others. I did know the US General was a better quality purchase, but didn't realize how poorly made Husky tool boxes are by comparison. Husky isn't a brand name, its I believe part if a conglomeration of Stanley (not American) products made by different manufacturers. Husky hand tools were formerly manufactured exclusively in the United States starting in the 20's but are now largely made in China. US General is misleading although its quality is purportedly controlled by a higher standards from the US is also manufactured in mainland China. Historically speaking, America had the best manufacturing in the world but the trade agreements signed in 90's allowed China to purchase manufacturing and they did which would later be shipped to Asia decimating our manufacturing independence and 100 years of proven American quality. The hit to manufacturing jobs is still being felt throughout America's manufacturing industries and may never recover. America used to have some amazing engineering and it's sad we let that legacy go along with the jobs and knowledge we had.

I pick Husky but I was wrong ! After watching the video I would go with USG. But as a retired mechanic I don't need a box for daily use. USG has a way better warranty which tells me they stand behind their product.

Home Depot should be embarrassed to offer such junk

[@laneeric]

Anyone looking at HD for a toolbox doesn't know the first thing about quality. They just want a large volume. One thing this reviewer didn't examine is how smooth the drawers are when fully loaded. Also the depth os these boxes compared to Snap-On style true 24" deep boxes makes a huge difference to store larger power tools.

[@SubversionGarage]

My broader point is that HD used to offer quality, and HF had the cheap tools. The US General box is twice the HD for the same money and that is a shame for HD. My 56" USG has been loaded to capacity for several years now with no problems. I am under no illusions that it is a Snap-On box, but then again it was 1/8th the price.

OMG now that is one intense review. Great review and thanks for telling it like it is. I am an old man now (80), so I wont be buying a tool box any time soon. For years I worked as a mechanic and worked out of a Craftsman tool box with all craftsman tools. I worked next to a guy with a Snap On tool box, of which he paid a small fortune. He had every tool under the sun and was a very good mechanic. One day I came to work, and he had quit as a mechanic and was working in the parts department huh ? The Snap On truck guy loved this guy, as he always bought something off that truck. Now what really got me was a young guy working LOF and purchased a Snap On tool box just to change oil. His tool payments were more than he was making, and he soon quit and lost everything. Three tool trucks came by every month Snap On, Mac, and Matco. I worked there at that Oldsmobile dealership for about a year, then went into Law enforcement, where I retired after working 11 years, due to an accident. After retirement I began shopping at harbor freight and bought some very good tools. The price was right and HF sure has improved over the years. Yes HF has some made in China junk, but not everyone can afford made in USA. PS, Oldsmobile went out of production as we all know. I am a retired US Army officer w/ 20 years, Vietnam Vet with two purple hearts and retired Police, so I do well. After retirement I bought a huge tool box from COSTCO, can't guess where it was made, but has served me well. I enjoy watching your tool reviews, knowing I will see a fair honest review.

You would be supersized how little the quality tools. And tool boxes cost to make. one manufacture said. The customer was to dumb to know the difference. Between cheep and quality. And would buy what ever they could find. Not true. Some people have to much money. And they don't care. Some are to lazy to look for better quality. We all pay for those mistakes. But the manufacture is paying someone to much money. To cut cost and expenses. That is what has led to cheaply made product. It is happening in all businesses. So that hired someone is in a sense helping to pit them out of business. That is where the business is making there mistake.

[@hudsonforbes6727]

go git it

[@cbmech2563]

For starters, which tool boxes are us made? Craftsman? The HF box is better built than my craftsman 40inch. Snap on? It's not worth the price. I refuse to pay SO's inflated prices. As for the tool quality, some is junk, most is decent and some are outstanding. Anything black impact is is outstanding. I've been a heavy truck mechanic for over 40 years and I use and abuse my tools to get the job done. 5 years ago my box got stolen and HF is the only way I've been able to afford to rebuild. Air tools are decent, and very good for something that may only come out of the box a couple of times a month (my 1/2 inch impact is a nitrocat). Chrome sockets and extensions, some junk some decent. Quite a bit of stuff I get off the Internet.

[@curban0520]

Really miss seeing your quality content. Hope everything is well, and that you will return.

[@KFitzG35competitor]

U.S. General hands down, ive seen both in person

[@KFitzG35competitor]

Yep, based off what you found id say i was right

[@overboosted1g]

Well that settles that debate. I have been comparing the husky box to the harbor freight one in my mind for the past week trying to decide what one to get and I was set on the husky until I seen this. The fact that the us general uses heavier gauge steel and bolts rather than riv nuts settled that one .

[@stepside2839]

AGREED and the fact that US General finishes their tool box on the inside .. Big Plus on that👍

[@michaelmatias4764]

It looks good but?

[@markharrisllb]

I don’t watch tool reviews often especially for kit we can't buy in the U.K. (Are you listening Harbour Freight?). Flipping heck though, you really put some effort and I presume finance into yours. If I was in America I don’t think I’d buy anything without seeing if you’ve done a video about it.

[@kickdowndoors4291]

US General has been using Real Tool Reviews videos on their website! lol

[@RealToolReviews]

Good! 👍👍👍

[@mikespillman3075]

*Observation*…..The Husky box's extra set of middle casters being ''unsprung'' render the two sets of ''sprung'' casters useless. Put any REAL weight in that box and the center unsprung caster will absorb all the weight in that box. just my .02.....

[@terryeffinp]

I saw that too, if you are gonna have 6 casters they have to have some form of suspension system.

[@estebanmolano9794]

Your review pushed me toward the General. Ill get it in couple of weeks. That is a review. Thank you.

[@puffnstuff12]

Thanks for the great review and now I know where my next tool box is coming from.

[@gregarena153]

I have a husky box its absolute junk a bunch of my slides already broke

[@mikebultema2536]

In our shop my dad and grandfather bought Craftsman,Waterloo and Williams tool chests. I have bought Matco, MAC and Snap-on chests. Recently I purchased a US GENERAL chest for my son. I was so impressed by the US GENERAL that I went back and purchased a top chest for my pickup. We are farmers and drive very rough terrain. After close inspection the other day that box is still in new condition other than chips and scratches.

[@TheCuttingtorch]

Great vid. Huge difference in the boxes for basically the same price point.. If you want a stainless top on a box pick up a piece of 11ga and then you still have the useful lip around the perimeter..

[@taogden]

I knew who would win having gone through this last year, but, your review was out standing.

[@danjohnson9549]

Harbor! main reason is it has lip to hang side boxes

[@DirtShy]

This video took a lot of work and it shows, nice presintation. Well done..

[@makerofmanythings8447]

I recently bought a rolling tool chest from HF and it cost $480 with tax and it weighs 300 pounds empty. It is the BEST BUILT tool chest I have ever seen!You can feel the difference how much more flimsy all other tool chest are how they perform empty and especially when they are loaded with tools. HF, US GENERAL boxes are a no brainer, they are AWESOME!!

[@VIP-ry6vv]

The 72" heavy duty husky toolbox with adjustable top is quite impressive and I prefer it to the us general it replaced. However, the new service cart from harbor freight is even more impressive.

[@I_like_turtles_67]

I wish harbor freight would make the service cart with a slide top like Matco & Snap On.

[@classic287]

Harbor Freight is my go to place when I need a tool for casual use. Satisfied 95% of the time.

[@tickyul]

classic287 Yeah, properly used, HF and all other decent-quality tools can be used daily and in a professional-environment. Most people who break decent quality tools either don't use the right tool for the job or they are using the tool in question in an abusive manner.

[@classic287]

OBServe Garage, That’s good to know, thanks

[@classic287]

tickyul, That’s very true...

[@tickyul]

@@classic287 Your initial comments were bordering on hatehype directed at HF tools, please reconsider!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@classic287]

tickyul ???

[@crei6984]

Thank you for the time and effort you put into these videos. They honestly do help me a lot.

[@ToddKlemchuk]

Great frickin review man. You didn't miss a beat! I woulda prolly just assumed that the husky would have been a little bit better built than the us general but still got the us general cuz they're a little cheaper in price and i like their boxes. .i'll still go w the us general now for sure! Nice to know that i don't even need to glance at home depots tool chests anymore. I think you just added a few hours of free time onto my life. 👍

[@metalmaniaxx]

The quality of construction of that husky box was appalling..they left scrap rivets to be painted over?! Total garbage!!

[@ward26102]

I'm surprised that US GENERAL smashed Husky in almost every comparison. Thank you for this excellent review! 👏 I clicked the like button.

[@realracer6348]

I am buying this toolbox with my tax return because of this vid. Thank you

[@sheltonhall9278]

This is one of the best KZbin channels period!!!

[@deshaun5419]

Hell yeah he's working man like the rest of us.

[@ericsteel7643]

Husky is manufactured by the Edsel / Metal Box MFG out of Chicago Il. How do I know this? I hauled many loads of material into this shit show of a manufacturer and I will never buy a Husky/ Edsel tool box or shelving units that they produce. I would definately go with the HF.

[@fastacker2]

So Husky has a genuine particle board top with no side rails and plastic Snap-off and break casters? Shut up and take my money! :) I Like my Harbor Freight box.

[@G5Hohn]

This might be the most detailed review video of any product I've ever seen. EXCELLENT. You could teach people how to do reviews.

[@RealToolReviews]

Thanks!

[@angrydalek]

Damn, that was some very in depth and informative info. The title threw me off but I am glad I clicked anyways. Husky is basically junk compared to the US general then. What good is a toolbox like that if it goes bellyup within a few years.

[@adventuresofwillandshelby6013]

Such an awesome review! Sounds kinda like I'm watching a motor week video 😊

[@michaelballard7323]

Ok that sounds interesting. This is me at the beginning of this video and I think Harbor Freight Tools is going to be the better box.

[@TheTorkerman]

That Sir, is a REVIEW!, well done, thank you

[@averageschmo963]

You do amazing tool reviews. Thank you sir

[@ronduval1142]

Are these two units made in the same factory in China? They sure look alike! chinese quality was never as good as USA, Japan or Taiwan, now it is much worse! Buy American!!

[@richsmith9063]

That was an amazing amount of research. Wow.....Thanks.

[@Retroweld]

Great job on the review. That HF box is heavy duty.

[@beebob1279]

I no longer buy from Harbor Freight. Their products are crap. I've bought power tools, regular tools, trailer supplies, and nail guns along with other items. They don't last and are absolute junk. I would suggest to anyone to buy from a better supplier. Remember, you get what you pay for.

[@mathewgoebel4078]

I don't know that husky with a bottle openers is a game changer

[@fromcarstocomputers7261]

This is one of the best reviews I have seen. A+

[@03studios]

WOW! I never knew the US Generals were so much better then Husky. Thanks for the great breakdown!

[@ee222]

my guess would be the harbor freight would win out. --- i guessed right! what i didn't guess right is that by how much better the HF would be over the husky! seems like a no brainer to go with the HF box. thanks for another great review!!

[@outdoorzone]

Impressive for harbor freight!! Impressed! I will definitely consider them for a tool box!!! Love all the colors too! Thx fir great review!! Very professional!

[@adamUDavies]

I will NOT buy a tool box from china I will buy an old used tool box made in the USA. Period !!!
