ICON TOOLBOX TOUR!!!! PROS AND CONS

[@STREETFIGHTER50]

Very nice box indeed! I’m definitely getting one when they have all the colors with black trim

[@nicholasmorris3709]

That intro was golden cutest thing I have seen in a while.

[@jSilvia89]

Thats a sick set up! The drawers not opening all the way is common on the tool truck brand boxes also. My Mac and Matco boxes I own both do that. My Mac is 15yrs old and still does it sometimes. I think it's because I don't usually open them all the way everyday. I might have to get on of those boxes one day

[@JohnnyBravo02]

It’s the older designs and the new cheap box slides. My snap on doesn’t . They’re new boxes don’t do that anymore and I don’t think Matcos does either any longer

[@timothyjohns8630]

Jabo talking about the receptacles on the box when it comes to AC current there is no such thing as positive or negative. AC is positive and negative 60 times a second (60hz). The other two prongs are for neutral (to tie back into the supply voltage and complete a circuit of potential difference) and ground (actual earth ground)

[@ang_isnotcool]

Ever heard of polarity?

[@brianroagers6894]

Nice box I’m thinking of going with the exact set up color and all. My krL master series snap on box does the same thing with the drawers not always opening all the way unless you pull them. Thanks for the video

[@aaronledbetter7429]

Just a thought - the end locker issues could be related to alignment between the locker and the box. Maybe different heights on the floor where the wheels sit? I could see if the joints between the box and the side lockers have excessive vertical force, it could pull the door openings out of square. Maybe shims are required here? Again - just a thought...

[@PARADIGMCREATIVEGROUP]

Well done! Congratulations on building a great shop setup. Purchased the same Icon setup from This :)

[@jeeptuff]

Exact same setup will be here on the 27th. Already have a 56”icon with hutch and need more room. Gonna mount the 73 to the 56 hutches on both with full lockers at both ends.

[@blade913]

Buy once cry once, as long as your organized, prepared, and equipped that's all that matters. Otherwise your set up looks good!

[@jamiefahey8702]

My Matco Jamestown cart does the same thing with the drawers and it also has the adjustable tension for closing

[@markwalker8770]

The issue with the draws looks like the bearings walking, just bump em out like you are doing every now and then. if it really bugs you, take something like a plastic prybar, and get behind the bearing and push back against it. The goal would be to get the bearings as close to the center of travel as possible.

[@mikedavidson2117]

Hey nice box, but the sticking of the drawers is normal, my Snapon epic does the same thing, even with weight in the drawers ,what you have to do is pull the drawers out all the way every morning and it should be good air day,it’s the way the tracks are

[@disabledarmyveteran]

The toolbox doors jamming appears to be a manufacturing issue because the doors should fit without jamming. I would ask for a replacement box and eventually the manufacturer will correct the manufacturer issues otherwise the manufacturer will continue to send out crappie boxes.

The icon box is sweet man….. I have two 44 inch us general boxes an one top box and I love them…. I I love the icon line as well….. I’m just a little diy guy….. lol

[@michaelgreen6788]

Nice set up I been thinking about buying some of the icon tools do you like them

[@MrJdog1232]

I got an icon 73, and hutch will be here soon aswell!, i have the same issue with drawrers not opening all the way unless u give em a good yank. Kinda annoying but hey lol

[@robertstrand6036]

Very nice setup and video as well. I probably missed it somewhere but could you tell me what the total price of the toolbox was? Would like very much to purchase the same complete setup in the gray color if available. I live literally in the middle of nowhere and the nearest HFT is about 3 hours away and was hoping it would be something they would stock but I understand if it’s not. Sounds like the shipping program they have is also very good. Thanks for now.

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

They will break in man a lot of toolboxes are like that.

[@Volksoner619]

That sucks about the door alignment. I have the 73 with hutch and side locker in black. Been using it daily at work since October. The edges of the locker don’t align properly either but the locker door is good. The black trim looks great, they should start offering that as an option. I just finished doing an embossed wrap. It came out really cool. I posted a quick video of it.

[@chandlerisringhausen9786]

Can we get another update/tour on the box and how the tools are holding up over the years?

[@ranacherian]

how wide is the top drawer?

[@brianmiskell9090]

Can we get update on the box a year later almost? Really starting to think about getting myself one. I'm a dealership tech

[@ja-bv3lq]

Your garage floor is way out of alignment compared to that of the store. Put a LONG level across the top, then shim the rollers .... then you'll be happy.

[@BananerRepublic]

There's no draw latch system ??. Draws just open up with nothing to keep them closed ?

[@runnerandgunner7954]

Cool set up. But, I had to stop watching after 2:40. Camera was zig zagging around Blair Witch Project-style so much I was getting dizzy and felt like I was going to puke. Please hold the camera still or put it in a stationary spot where we can see the whole cabinet and narrate that way. With better camera work I would watch the whole video.

Nice start. As you get more tools, I think you're going to want to stand your sockets and put your Sockets in the top drawer. 1. You're wasting depth with wrenches in that drawer. 2. At least you could put your wrenches in a shallow drawer just below the second drawer.

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Thanks for the input. I will try that out

[@johnb1121]

I defiantly going to buy it when I get the house 😍😍😍😍

[@Mopars_41]

In my opinion, these toolboxes cost too much for what they are. If they were 1-2k cheaper it wouldn't be that bad. Especially since I can get a snapon box used, or new for roughly the same price off the truck. Couple things I see that I don't like are that the power drawer and charging drawer aren't 1 drawer just 2 separate drawers, I don't like the power strip on the front of the box, I don't like the drawer locking mechanism, and the price of it for a chinese box. I'd pay a couple grand more for a snapon masters or epiq series toolbox that are made in the us, but that's just my opinion. Nice looking box for a home box though.

[@michaelcoulter953]

Man, I must have the worst Snap On Rep ever. Lol. I just bought the Icon 73, hutch, end locker, keys, stainless top, and light for $5,500 cash after tax. My Snappy dealer ain't touching that price. The lowest price I could get on a new 73" Classic roller, just the roller, was $6,500. There is no way I am touching that set up for a Master/Epiq series for "a couple grand more". If I can't buy it cash off the truck, I ain't buying it. Not knocking Snap On/Matco/Mac. I have some of their ratchets, love the convertible flash light I bought last month form the Snap. I got lucky (right time/right place) and bought a used Macsimizer cart for $1500 on CL. I like their tools but I buy most stuff somewhere else...sockets from Sunnex and Tekton, plyers from Channel Lock, etc. I just am not making payments on tools. This isn't 1989 where you had just the trucks and Sears Craftsman....so many more options now.

[@Mopars_41]

@@michaelcoulter953 yeah, a coworker of mine got a newish snappy 84 inch epiq for 5500 with trade in and rebate. I have mostly snap on tools because I grew up with them. And personally I like them best, but to each their own.

[@michaelcoulter953]

@@Mopars_41 That is a smoking deal. I tried that. Check CL, Offer Up, Etc for a deal like that. Just couldn't find anything I could do cash or if I could it was just beat to shit. You can find those deals if your patient and have time. I got two carts just absolutely over flowing. Couldn't wait.

It looks professional BUT for the price ( not bashing your decision ), Ya just helped me make up my mind! I was VERY SERIOUS about getting the ICON but now I'm 100% convinced to get the Tool Vault 140" ELITE. Why- For the money saved I can get more tools I've always wanted & I can fabricate the charging station to suit my location & area in the box. As for the break-in ya should have taken the time to get it right before you even laid a pencil on it. I've noticed several saying alot about the alignment issues so that alone shows me most are rushing or the fabrication is off. For the money spent I'm NOT willing to take that chance. I can get the ToolVault 140" for $3000 less & all you got was the Charging drawers over the ToolVault, BIG freakin deal! I'm 100% certain I can fabricate something similar & I also have the ability to move it anywhere I want within the box whereas your stuck with their location. Like I said I still like it but you helped me make a MAJOR decision in my purchase, for that I wanna THANK YOU!!!! Also I have some suggestion for organization; 1- VIM RAILS - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYCWeqeQoLGmadk 2- ToolBoxWidgets - toolboxwidget.com/ 3 - For those Looking For new quality boxes - www.strictlytoolboxes.com/tool-vault-tool-boxes/tool-boxes-by-size/tool-vault-72-tool-boxes.html All of this is simply "MY SUGGESTIONS" Jabo still has a nice box, I am ONLY commenting on my wants & my needs. Don't Take It Personal as it is NOT meant to be! When I get mine all set up I will make a review! "GOOD LUCK & BEST WISHES"

[@MadRhetorik.]

Isn’t the tool vault 140 like 11k? Idk the price of this when he paid but currently this setup is only 7695. I guess a bigger plus going with toolvault is the 30 inch deep drawers. I think both are great setups with the toolvault being a little more heavy duty. Goodluck on getting that 140 :)
