Are you ever doing a tool box tour of your 3 new HF boxes I would like to see how you organized them. I am doing the same thing remodeling my shop.

[@randysmith9636]

As of this moment, 2-19-22 HF has this on sale for 539, if the store has them in stock you save shipping which us probably about the same price. I know I just bought the 5 drawer cart but it is hard to pass that price up. The depth of the top is a big selling point for me. My Pry bars will not fit into the 5 drawer top with lid closed. The corner bumpers, and 4 swivel casters also help. The drawer latches are absolutely a DA idea. Not sure what the engineers were thinking. But that is a minor complaint compared to all the benefits. From the video the color looks like Mopar Omaha Orange, possibly a little lighter in color.

[@rohbjennings]

I walked into Harbor Freight 2 weeks ago to buy the 34" box for $649.00 BUT they had the 5 drawer floor model on sale for $215.00 I talked to the manager she dropped it to $180 so now I will just keep an eye out for a 34" floor model to match.

[@lonestarmopars]

Great buy on the 5 drawer! The 34" also dropped to $599 which means future sales will get it down closer to the $500 mark.

[@michaeld6072]

Also picked one up on black Friday,green.Use it for all my metric tools.

[@lonestarmopars]

Nice...the green looks great...I was tempted to go that direction.

[@bricegraham8256]

I love how you go into detail about everything you've had to do to get to this point. I finally pulled the trigger and ordered one. It should hopefully be here at the beginning of August if not sooner. I'm so excited. I'm tired of using my little husky 26 in tool box cause at the point the amount of tools are fitting, but everything is a hell of a tight fit and now I'm having to cram all the large stuff in the bottom drawer. So once this arrives to the Harbor Frieght I go to, we can get it to the shop.

[@lonestarmopars]

Awesome...congrats on the new box! I'm still actively moving and tweaking the Master Tech...lots of space! You really can't go wrong with them for the price point. Just an all around nice cart! Hope you survive the wait and enjoy it when it arrives!

[@Nevercouldfigureitout]

Bring back the old accent or we riot lol. That seems like a super solid box. I just picked up a green 44” but almost wish I’d picked up that new cart like yours.

[@lonestarmopars]

Haha...It is a really impressive cart. I did the 44" on the Black Friday sale too...it kind of comes down to what you are planning to do as to which one will be better. For the price, the 44" is a killer box. Congrats on the new setup!

[@Tom-gr9ii]

I bought 2 of these box in green. They are heavy almost 300 lb, they are barely fits in my SUV. Still plan how to fill them up. Great boxes.

[@lonestarmopars]

Congrats on the additions! You can fit a ton in one of them...two will give you plenty of reasons to get more tools!

[@henrythompson5624]

I made mine a work bench with mine then add pegboard for like my power tools in detail tools

[@lonestarmopars]

Nice!

You do the 2 a.m. jazz show DJ gig on 106.7 FM right?

[@lonestarmopars]

Only on the weekends...
