The fact that you didn’t buy snap on box means you know your shit

[@overlordgaming752]

Man I was thinking that but wasn’t gonna say it😂 too many snap on fan boys out here

[@drewlawrence8259]

Maybe the in store box has “smoother” drawers because they have been played with alot? Maybe they get better with some use

[@n9wox]

The wife will never notice the new, large, bright-green toolbox!

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Too late. 😆 🤣

[@hhattingh]

Soon coming, "Mrs. Jabo the Mechanic's new shoe closet assembly"

[@stevetroxell8763]

The outlets are "upside down" for safety. If anything falls on what you have plugged in there it is less likely to rip the ground prong off the plug. Standard for industrial and garage areas.

[@224rebels]

I'll be another person to say that those two outlets on the front are not upside down. Ground prong up is technically the correct way.

[@zachbowyer99]

hell yeah another mechanic with some good taste in music

[@LemonySnicket-EUC]

Actually there is no electrical code about this. People have been discussing this for ages. Either way is legal. Pros and cons . To each his own.

[@don9270]

@@LemonySnicket-EUC Doesn't change the fact that ground pin up is safer.

[@cristiangalandzi3440]

Those 110 outlets are not upside-down. We have been doing that for over 15 years in MA. So if its sticking out and somthing falls on it. It will hit the ground not the terminal.

[@LemonySnicket-EUC]

Yet there is no code either way.

[@kirstenspencer3630]

Exactly, in the process of flipping my outlets " upside down " check out recent NEMA code. Hope you let your kids build a " fort " or some other nifty project with the pallets and cardboard boxes. Hot glue and white glue then painted with regular house paint can give aspiring builders real world experience. Imagination is the limit. Stay safe.

[@don9270]

@@LemonySnicket-EUC And yet one is obviously safer than the other. I've seen two different outlets destroyed when the cover plate came loose and fell on the hot and neutral while nothing would have happened if they had been installed with the ground up.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

It’s like Christmas, getting boxes delivered any day of the year!

[@eliteexposure5594]

4:33 That is the correct way. The ground is supposed to be up so if anything falls and hits it, the ground prong protects it before it hits the pos/neg and causes a fire. Not sure why it was reverse engineered for every house in the USA.

[@makeupyourmindinator]

Maybe with all that storage space you can replace the battery on the smoke detector.

[@TheCerroFam]

Bro! I'm glad your still alive lol. Keep those videos coming. Can't wait for a tool box review

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Thanks for the support 🙏!

[@conanhendrick4379]

Green tray drawer is for paper work and writing on. That’s a beautiful color combo. Love it.

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Thanks man I appreciate it 🙏!

[@Awegner176]

The outlets are supposed to be "upside down". Ground on top- so you don't have a short if a screw rolls off the top of the box and lands on the plug.

[@miket640]

Was on my way to comment this and saw yours. Happy there’s more than one of us that know

[@LemonySnicket-EUC]

Yeah but there is no electrical code on this. It's a free for all. Either way is legal.

[@don9270]

@@LemonySnicket-EUC Doesn't change the fact that ground pin up is safer.

[@LemonySnicket-EUC]

@@don9270 that's not Factual. It's opinion. Hence no code.

[@don9270]

@@LemonySnicket-EUC It's not an opinion. I've seen outlet covers slip and short the pins on an outlet with the ground on the bottom and I can show you the burned remnants from them. It's never caused a short on an outlet with the ground pin up. Orient the outlet however you want to- but stop pretending like ground up isn't safer- it very obviously is.

[@zoltandarko5124]

Its counterintuitive, but once the drawers have some weight in them, the slides will feel better.

[@Munchiie]

Dude the videos with your wife are hilarious I can relate .. great content !!

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Thanks bro!

[@Dr.Squints]

I just got a icon box and it they all come with chrome trim wish they still made them with the black trim

[@rayrowe2664]

i use white lithium grease on all my box drawer bearimgs,,,comes in a nice spray can with a nozzle,,,,makes them quieter also

[@jaydesroches901]

My mans really slammed those drawers closed

[@tomforeman4976]

Keep slamming the drawers shut for 20 years and non of them will work. My snap on is still working after 52 years used 16 7 days a week. And as far as a charging station I have bought three in the past years as needed. And they showed up one day and done a free remote lock install.

[@vypersoft1]

Late comment...the outlets are turned that way as a safety measure. If they were inverted then if the plug drooped or was pulled out a little then the Hot and Neutral would be exposed. If something dropped down and hit the plug it would contact the Hot and Neutral and could cause damage. This way it strikes the ground and just falls away.

[@lucusc4002]

The green absolutely pops your right!

[@JaboTheMechanic]

It was a great choice.

[@bennymt07]

You can switch the door and the casters on that right locker fyi. Sick box dude

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Thanks man I'm going to do that

[@ASEWorldClassTech]

You didn't use the jig included to mark and predrill holes in the stainless top to put the workcenter on... lol

[@marioprzepiora]

Do not rotate the plugs. The reason it’s installed that way is so the ground is on top and if you drop something between the plug and the socket, like a ruler, it will hit the ground first and not land on the two flat power connectors.

[@thebackwoodsmechanic5029]

Interested to see how well it works out for you over the next year or two

[@brianrhubbard]

LOL, my son was watching a video earlier today talking about the plugs. Technically they are suppose to be upside down. They said the reason is so small children wouldn't relate them to smiley faces and would want to play with them. I personally hate it when they are upside down.

[@charlespayne1909]

Dude . Did you really get all 104 icon hand tools. Your awesome for this.

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Yes I did. Thanks man I appreciate it 🙏

[@gioazzarello1333]

@@JaboTheMechanic do you have a video showing the total amount spent?

[@sweetmatthew662]

Dude, read the instructions. All the problems you had are explained and made easier to fix and assemble if you read the instructions

[@TheSuperReaper]

Just saying, put the plug ends are upside like that because it's 1. code for building houses and 2. They do that so if the cord is coming out of the socket and you have say a screwdriver roll off the box or something the shaft of the screwdriver would hit the ground and fall away instead of possibly landing flat and making a positive connection. Obviously that's a very specific situation to happen, but it could happen.

[@kadev7352]

On the both sides of the drawers on the slides there are tension adjusters

[@JaboTheMechanic]

I know that. It had weird feeling when rolling

[@bre3ze259]

Nice box man, looking forward to seeing it filled with tools! If I were you, I'd throw that black mat on top of the hutch.

[@golpherboy13]

Looks super clean!

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Thanks man I appreciate it 🙏!

[@vanceplace1349]

I can’t stand these reviewers, you don’t know what anything is called and the the metal plate in the drawer has you stumped. Waiting for my 73 in cabinet right now I’ll wait to form my own opinion.

[@punchinello6537]

ive been looking at buying one of these. do you think that box can be loaded onto a rollback tow truck with 1 side cab attached? or do you think youd have to unbolt it to move it onto a tow truck.

[@MrKartman8]

Nice box

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Thank you 😊!

[@justinanderson985]

Can’t wait for mine to show up

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Awesome. Its worth the wait. Which color did you get

[@justinanderson985]

The green 73”, same as you, snap on guy here was really trying to sell me one but couldn’t go that high in price

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Nice. I know for the same price you can have a whole bunch of add ons

[@justinanderson985]

Yea man I can’t wait

[@JaboTheMechanic]

I'm happy for you man. You got to send me some pictures when you get yours

[@RobtheAviator]

Yo! I got the same setup except I messed up and want to switch my end locker to the other side. I see you had a similar problem. Do left and right come identical or did you just get two lefts by mistake? Also, I know you said you could flip the door, what about the wheels? Wouldn’t the castors have to be on the outside?

[@jtyree26]

How long did it take for them to deliver? I just ordered the red 73” bottom just wondering thanks

[@soccerbros6956]

It looks awesome! Hopefully this isn’t your last video buddy😬. Also door and casters are made to be switched by the way. I have same box in red and couldn’t be happier.

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Thanks man didn't know that. Lol I hope not too..🤪

[@gabehorn5079]

The plugs are not upside down.. it's so if sethingis dropped you don't cause a short.

[@marioserrano7037]

I have the same toolbox. I noticed today that the drawers underneath the icon badge aren’t squared to the black trim on the tool box. on the right side the drawers are flush while on the left side they are in 1/4” in. Do you also have this minor blemish, any feedback is appreciated.
