NEW Series 3 US General 72" Triple Bank First Look!!!

[@noidea1962]

Small correction. The series 2 and 3 are compatible, the series 1 is not. I had, unbeknown to me, a series 1 44" bottom chest and roller. I bought an end cabinet, it is several inches deeper than the original. I made it work, and then bought a series 2 52" bottom chest to make it work better. So, the original series 1 is not really compatible with the series 2 and/or 3.

[@towboatjeff]

The series 1 56 and 72 have always been the same depth. The series 1 26 and 44 were only 18" tho.

[@noidea1962]

@@towboatjeff I did not know that. Thanks.

[@kyleshelton1636]

I really want to get one of these for my home garage. I don't work as a mechanic by trade, but I wrench a lot in my off time, and having this to organize would be amazing.

[@hwyking]

It's going to be $450 off starting next month. I'm probably going to get one.

[@tint661]

I bought my MAC tool box from the local MAC toolman in 1987. It was the second largest tool box they sold at that time. It was $1700 and I was making $6.50 an hour back then. LOL The drawers don't have ball bearings. Everytime I go to a Harbor Freight store, I take time to play with the toolbox drawers. They slide so nice. One of my top drawers is full of "extra" bolts and odds and ends. It's saved my backside several times for having a bolt that got lost. The gray color wouldn't show the grease and dirt as well as a Red, Blue or other color box. I still have my original Craftsman tool box. I keep sand paper, electrical ends and wire, fuel line, and small parts in it. It still has a purpose.

[@RedBeardsGarage]

I wonder what it would cost to upgrade the slides on your old box?

[@GeorgeT6566]

@@RedBeardsGarage That is what I was thinking. maybe he should call Mac and see what new ball bearing draw rails will cost. I know Snap-on will replace there if they wear out.

[@The_BubbaHoTep]

Great update! I've been holding off also for an upgrade to my 30 yr old craftsman boxes. Was going to go with the Series 2, but saw the Series 3 coming out this year. I decided to wait, and was so glad to finally see a video with the 72" gray roller cabinet I want..I think I will put a 56" top box on mine, instead of the hutch.

[@turtlescycle]

I am like you. I prefer a top box over a hutch any day!

[@joeparga744]

I went to my local harbor freight today to find out when they are getting them in. I was told May 1st. all sizes 72" and 56" bottom box and hutches. I need a hutch and side locker. It works just as good as the expensive Snap-On box i used to have, at a fraction of the cost. # I`m sold

[@Zubawoo]

Yea I heard sometime in may it’s gonna take a while. I’m sure they are gonna sell out quick!

[@tetsumai2]

I think the series 3 is a great update to the series 2, not to say that the series 2 was bad but you can tell that they have taken a lot of lessons from the series 2 and incorporated parts of the ICON boxes into their design. Personally I think I am still going to go with the ICON boxes but the series 3 is still a great choices if you dont want to pay the ICON prices. whatever anyone chooses i don't think you can loose.

[@carlosleandry12]

cant wait for the 56 slate grey to come out!!!

[@nickcianchetti6624]

Been waiting since the sema leak in November I check once a week, can’t wait to get my hands on one. Glad people are starting to get them

[@RyjahMoto]

Me too hopefully they make a 44 inch and 54 or 52 in series 3

[@hellothere4342]

Would love these here in Australia.

[@koreywilliams4570]

I want one of these 😮 I have it all picked out. The chest, hutch, top cabinet, side cabinet, and a side drawer set.

[@Wardy75]

Such a shame these are not available in the UK, as I would buy one in a heartbeat.

[@pablocrypto2371]

I just got my series 3 box . I went ahead and put rivets in the slides that are attached at the box. I also installed rivets on the drawer side slides as well. Keeps the box from squeaking when opening the drawers , also shores up the drawer from wobbling side to side . Overall a great box for the money , add on a few mods and it will be great for years

[@evo.raul9]

How many rivets did you install in each slide?

[@howardwasryan901]

did you order it online or buy instore if online how long did it take after placing the order

[@violetandi]

Cant wait for the purple 34 inch cart, jack stands and jack to come out!!

[@kdtxtooldad]

Been dying to see this setup, so awesome you shared this, this thing looks 🔥

[@TroyStevensStelzerPaintingInc]

Hard to say if I'd get one. I was looking forward to hearing the differences between the series 2 vs. series 3, but I didn't see you make any mention of it besides the full drawer latching mechanism. Very slick looking box though, don't get me wrong. I'm sure it'll serve you well.

[@shrugger1]

That's bigger than my WHOLE workshop! Nuthin for it, gonna need a bigger workshop.

[@jonbrummett574]

I hung my chargers on the rear of my cabinet and ran them to my power strip. It saved me a whole drawer and it's habit to plug my batteries in when done.

[@daviswayne1601]

I definitely need 1 of them. For sure gonna pick one up.

[@Steve0885]

Thanks for not wiggling the drawers! 😊

I just bough this drawer I’m having some issues with my floor not being so level so my back tire hits the floor but the front tire flouts a bit . Are you able to Adjust the tire height ?

[@RedBeardsGarage]

No you can't. My last garage was like that and I ended up setting it on wood to shim it level.

[@jasonfikes9514]

Definitely a fan of the new series 3 tool box and Yes it's something I would consider for my garage. Great video as always. ✌😁

[@ChrisJRSpro]

I’m definitely getting the series 3 asap

[@Supra_Mickey]

I wanna compare this with the icon box in person

[@shr00m7]

The series 3 looks pretty slick, I think I want to see more details on the improvements of the series 3 like drawer configuration compared to the Series 2 and stuff like that before I would make a decision. But it also begs the question if their going to update the Icon line or discontinue it, because the gap looks like it is getting closer.

[@tooltime4640]

They won’t get rid of icon

[@rellt5498]

Icon boxes are still built better. USG series 3 updates are just different drawer configuration, taller drawers, new latch system as seen in the video, and they added two new colors white and grey. Oh and black trim.

[@JohnnyBravo02]

Icon is 100x nicer

[@brianprovorse7103]

I was looking at this setup today. I don't have space at my job for it just yet, but probably will soon. I currently have the Slate 5-Drawer cart.

[@elvincarvona7022]

Yeap that's my future box 😊

[@elesjuan]

Obviously haven't seent one of these in person, but what can see in your video, I really dig this box. It looks pretty much just like my best friends Matco box in his shop that was far more than $3k. Do wish this were a bit cheaper, because unfortunately it's a bit out of my price point at the moment. I've long outgrown my home shop craftsman professional box, wish I'd gone with a 72" from the git, but I just didn't have the luxury of space I do now. Being a poor is hard sometimes 🤣🤣

[@ggwinkler83]

Sweet box. I love the color. I've had the series one set for years. Just as solid as the day I bought them.

[@CupidFromKentucky]

What is the difference from series 1 to 2? I have the series 2.

[@ggwinkler83]

@@CupidFromKentucky not sure what all the changes were from the series 1 to the series, but I know with the series 2, they started offering the boxes in many colors. I have red, and I think black was a choice back then.

[@CupidFromKentucky]

@@ggwinkler83 I chose yellow. I prefer red since it's my favorite color, but I wanted something different.

[@rcclassiccrawlers4368]

It appears to be a nice looking box. I would consider purchasing one next time. I purchased a 46” Power Force bottom roller last year which has been a great box so far except not unlike you I’m running out of room again. Seems like you have room for a month or two after getting a new box then all of a sudden it’s full again. I either need to stop buying tools or…….Nahhhh I’ll keep buying tools. Again nice looking General and walk around. 👍👍

[@bobbnoll1656]

That hutch looks like it should fit on my snap on classic triple bank. Thank god I never bought the snap on hutch. Thanks for showing the set up!

Love the US General boxes.

[@williamreese2477]

I was really wanting to order Icon box now I'm undecided. Thanks alot.really like the grey

[@matthewbell9134]

Great review! However can you see if the two extra wide top drawers have bottom supports plates. Similar to the ICONs to keep the drawer bottom from bowing.

[@wendellgreenidge3362]

That box looks great, I can’t wait to buy one myself

[@vinnyboombatz1399]

Have you thought about swapping out the contents of the two lower right hand drawers? Put your chargers in the deep drawer so you have enough clearance to close the drawer while charging. Move the compressor to the upper drawer (assuming it'll fit) Also, I noticed that some of the drawers have block off/knock out plates in case you want to convert them to a power drawer.

[@looonytoonz]

I was thinking about putting chargers and my boost pack in the drawer under the power drawer and cut a hole with a grommet to pass the wires down

[@ReformationHomested]

I have a series 2 and plan on getting the hutch. I love the new box but I don’t want to spend time reorganizing another box again.

[@Bowhunterohio]

I have that same booster box. It’s the best on the market. I ended up getting the one with a AC power supply that plugs in through the 12V socket. I’m thinking of getting that 72” box. I work maintenance so my box right now is packed full and I have all my air tools and cordless tools in my work locker cause I can’t fit it all in my box. I actually went in about 2 weeks ago to buy a new box and that’s when I heard about the series 3. Now I’m waiting on it’s release. They need to hurry cause I need a new box right now. Lol.

[@MarzNet256]

Love the HF boxes. They are built like tanks. I have to uppers:of the older series, a 26" and a 44". Paid $150 for each one.

[@miguelsalazar3239]

Wished the side locker would have the casters too. I always thought they look odd when it's hanging of the side.

[@jeffro221]

Can anyone help me understand why I would choose to buy US General Series 3 storage boxes that are outstanding (work and look great), when I could instead go buy Snap-on boxes which will let me pay 10x as much, and go into dept for years paying around 20% interest? Then I could brag about my Snap-on tool boxes........ "Hey guys, see how stupid I am."

[@MadRhetorik.]

Slam a US General box with a full set of 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 3/4 and 1 inch drive sockets for an extended amount of time and get back to me. I love my US General roll cart but let’s be real here there IS a difference between HF and Snap On. Whether it’s worth the difference is completely up to the person and their situation. Personally I’d go with a Rousseau box with their 400lb drawer capacity. Too each their own.

[@jeffro221]

@@MadRhetorik. Yup, there certainly is a difference between a US General box and a Snao-on box. I have never heard anyone say the US Gen is on a par with Snap-on. The most important difference is the US Gen boxes and carts are really a good product that can be bought for a very reasonable price, while the Strap-on stuff is an even better product but when you have to get gouged to buy it, just not worth it the rediculous prices. But as you said, each to their own.

Awesome vid. You did a great job on thoroughly going through every feature! Just one thing...... You stated the Series 3 was backward compatible with Series 2 and Series 1.

The drawers wobbled more than series 2, everything squeaked, the full drawer latches were pretty crappy at best etc. etc. (this box had not been on the floor long enough to be abused, so this was out of the box bad).
