U.S General series 3 Review

[@Justgaragenit]

Let’s hear your thoughts on this combo, what setup works best for you?

[@SmithFarmTilton]

Very nice ! I bought 2 42" boxes and bolted a 27" between them. Got the corresponding top boxes and an end locker. I was patient and got them all with a coupon or on sale. Financed most of it by selling my 35 yr old Snap On box, since I no longer need a high end box since it is just used at home now. I think the quality of these boxes is fantastic for the price.

[@Justgaragenit]

@@SmithFarmTilton that sounds like a pretty killer setup. What colour did you go with. They are definitely great boxes for the price. Eventually I’d like to build a work station like you have.

[@SuperChunty9o9]

What a setup. Any pictures?

[@FlyingPilot2012]

Nice setup. I got the 27" recently with the top chest. Love the expandability options in the future with other size boxes.

[@Justgaragenit]

That’s awesome, they are great. The expansions are endless. Great bang for the buck.

[@Taz3459]

I was considering purchasing the top box to go with my 42 but I might do this instead. Now I need a good coupon for the 27. Thanks for the video!

[@Justgaragenit]

@@Taz3459 it’s a great setup. Harbor freight just had the 27” on for $279 at the end of September.

I picked one up for $ 279

[@Justgaragenit]

@@SA-bq1us that’s awesome that’s a killer deal.

I'm near the boarder and work in the US often. As a fellow Canadian I have to point out that a 52" Husky box is different depending whether you look at them in Canada or the US. Husky boxes with the exact same SKU and model version can be two different builds from different factories which led me to look at US General. Harbor Freight's boxes are better all around, thicker sheet metal and solid paint inside and out. Husky boxes in my area (Atlantic Canada) rust inside the box quickly which is not covered by warranty. US General is the better choice despite our pathetic Canadian Dollar.

[@Justgaragenit]

@@Generic321 the husky and other Canadian equivalents just don’t cut it. Crazy we can’t get anything like u.s general in Canada. The quality metal thickness and paint is definitely better with u.s general you hit the nail on the head.

[@metricdeep8856]

@@Justgaragenit Yup. The Us General would sell very well in Canada.

[@Justgaragenit]

@@metricdeep8856 100% it would be a huge seller. Nothing is even close for value and quality.

[@PunisherOfDeath101]

I'm tempted by the series 3... But I'm getting older and want a 1 and done box so I'm now looking at the tekton/rousseau 60x27 or 60x30. If I was just getting started again that 27" series 3 could do it all with the proper modifications and organizers. Wonder what your cost if for the Canada made tekton if you get it directly from Rousseau.

[@Justgaragenit]

@@PunisherOfDeath101 I’m not sure what the cost would be. I did a good amount of research and for the price and quality this made the most sense.

[@martinneps9387]

On the 27 inch 1. How much weight does that toolbox? Hold the wider drawers and do they have 2 slides on each side? Please comment back and let me know. Just on the wider drawers, they should come through with. 4 sliders on those drawers.Thank you very much for this video

[@Justgaragenit]

@@martinneps9387 the bottom drawer is the only one with 2 slides in each side the rest are all single on each side. Seems to hold weight really good no complaints.

[@EverydayJ1786]

Did you look at the napa Carlyle brand boxes ? .. they're rebranded Homak boxes . 24" deep which is better than the US general. Also were there any customs charges coming across the border ?

[@Justgaragenit]

@@EverydayJ1786 honestly I looked at a few different boxes here I haven’t really looked at the Napa boxes since they sold international. And I got away lucky not getting charged duty. But I’d figure duty in to the cost if you plan to go pick one up

[@chaselesser3191]

For Carlyle being $1150-$1400 for the 41”. I’d expect it to be better. But maybe not twice the bang for the buck. Then they only have a Evercraft 26” for $593. It would be cheaper to get another U.S. General 42” and have even more space.

[@Justgaragenit]

@@chaselesser3191 it’s definitely a good value for what you get. I have a snap on Krl 29” deep and I could easily swap it with my u.s general and be content.

[@harkiratbhangu4983]

Hey did u had to pay anything at the border when entering back into Canada planing on getting one

[@Justgaragenit]

@@harkiratbhangu4983 yes you’d have to pay duty unless you’ve been out of the country long enough.
