The Harbor Freight box is not a scam, it's MUCH better than the Kobalt box and it's cheaper. Their drawers open easily, the lid stays open, and it has drawer liners. It's simple supply and demand and there will likely be enough on the shelves in a month or so.
@domosautomotive1929Ай бұрын
The US General is a much better box. It has smooth ball bearing drawer slides, drawer liners and the top only opens to just past 90°.

And those BB drawers don't even open half way. I looked at them. Had $20. in free HF cash, and spent it on jig saw blades and sanding discs instead. Things I have a use for. Mini box? Not so much, besides the cute factor. Cute things gather dust, practical things don't
@nhbountyhunterАй бұрын
@@FauxQue-yk8dtYou either have no imagination or you just hate everything new because you're a hipster. The draws don't come out because the sliders are so short (which they have to be). But that does not matter. You can reach in the draw just fine. It's just an excuse people are using to hate on it. As far as being useful, again you're so blind you are bordering on ignorance. I got 1 for my soldering station. I can put all my tools, tips, solder, wick, flux, etc in this box. I also got 1 for my home work space for my RC hobby. My wife has one for her sewing area as well (she got it herself after she saw mine). If you have no use that's fine but don't be a %#$ because you don't have the ability to see the relevance of something like this. Oh, the Kobalt one is more expensive, has less features, and is not built as well. It wins in color choice only.

The US Genneral has ball bearing drawer slides, and the Kobalt does not. The US General has a little better overall quality feel to it as well. They're definitely not the same box, so I wouldn't just say that without inspecting both boxes or even reading and comparing the descriptions. As far as uses go, they work great to hold precision tools on the desk or benchtop.

I later found out they withheld a TON of them for the "general public" on Black Friday... quite the big middle finger to inside track members who PAID for the membership like myself. I went and bought 3 Kobalt boxes online (HF was limiting people to only 2) after I lost interest in the stupid US General box over Harbor Freight's (mis)handling of the sale. I don't even care if they're technically better, HF pissed me off over this one.

I go in regularly, always talk to them, ask questions and make a purchase (usually under $20). I don't act like an entitled jerk. I treat them well, they treat me well in return. I don't know how many they saved for Black Friday, but they were out before being open for an hour. Also, employees that I know didn't even get to buy any. I think they seriously under estimated how popular they would be.

I'm going to put electronic parts in one and convert the other to a custom engine test system with all the electronic test parts in there, probes, clamp meter, power supply, etc...

In the middle drawer I have a tray to hold my ICON 1/4" bit kit. It's cute and practical. It's my 3D printer toolbox. As I collect collect more mini tools I'll fit them in the toolbox nice and tidy. I got two on Black Friday. They are worth the full price too. The Kobalt toolbox is junk.

I looked at the Kobalt in store, and seen a few compare videos. Not sure how solid the Kobalts are, but yhe US Generals are quite heavy. With actual drawer slides, mats, and a lid that does flip all the way over, its clearly better designed and built. It is gimmicky, but Ive got a bunch of little stuff in the drawers of my big box that would be great to put in one of these sat on top.

Having said that I asked the manager at my store if she'd let me do that and she told me no... I barely know the woman though so who knows?

If the shelf is out of stock, ask a HF staff member who doesn't have an attitude to look up on the computer to see if they have that item in the back storage area. Lots of times they don't have enough staff to keep the shelves stocked when they are so busy. They are generally more than happy to assist you. Home Depot and Lowe's should take note of the HB's employee work ethic. Be sure to know the Item Number of what you want to make their job easier to look up on the computer, and your shopping experience more enjoyable. Also, sometimes the marked down - sale items can be found at either the end-caps or by the register. Hope that helps! Mini toolboxes are another story entirely... never in stock in my area. Waiting for the green ones to come out, possibly the Q2 of 2025. Good luck!

no need to stand in line when the Kobalt box is being sold for $12.98 online at lowes with 1997 boxes available. RIP Scalpers.

Thanks for watching! Good point

No lines to get the kobalt, meaning not many people wanting them 🤣

@@lennym480HF is irrelevant since there has been no availability of their mini box within 100 miles of me for months so HF is not an option!

We use the tool box for sewing room and arts and crafts

I just went to compare them and HF is much better and drawers have ball bearings where lowes is friction slide.

The HF is NOT “the exact same thing.”.

Lowes is the biggest rip off store!....they were even trying to sell a case of bottled water for $8.00!......I'm surprised they did not go out of business yet.......Menards is my go to store.....spent many many thousands there!
@stevencook4002Ай бұрын
No one is forced to buy the water, nor does Lowe’s rely on its sales to stay in business. Lowe’s is a Fortune 500 company and isn’t going anywhere. Get a clue, please.

You buy them for your kids, that’s what I did. Kids put their toys and crayons.
