You are probably the only youtuber that measured the dimensions of the packaging box including the pellet. That was very helpful as I don't have a pick up and really wanted to ship one back to Canada.
Picked up my brand new one today with 20% HF member discount plus kind store manager additional discount end up $423+ tax(Listing price is $629.). Great cart and hold up a lots of tools. Most of stores are out of stock. Plan to order another one. I have 5 drawers service cart, 2 26 inch roller cabinets and 34 inches service cart.
@@learnsavediy The store manager has authority for additional discount. I made purchase but the store don’t have enough staff to load the roller cabinet to my SUV and asked me to picked up next day. The manager decided to give me additional discount atop of member discount.
Potentially. Only a few of my 1/2 drive fit. The problem is the ratchet can’t have anything on the handle and needs to have a fat enough head to hang. I can only use my 1/2 drive craftsman. My others don’t work.
Nice! So I went in to order mine today thinking the labor day weekend coupons, 20% worked. Nope. Then they told me it's an order item and will take about 2 months to arrive. 🙄 How long did it take from order to when you were able to pick up? Great vid thanks!! Oh yeah, I'm gonna get the Green one, i think🤔 maybe the Orange 👌
I had to wait a month. Lucky it came “early” because they said it would take 4 months. I kept calling corporate to make sure I was up to date. Glad the video was helpful! Cheers
@@learnsavediy awesome, good to know, hopefully i will get lucky like you and get it early. I'm gonna have to decide how much i need it now, wait for sale or bite the bullet and just order it. Thanks again👍👊
@@Iroc_twan Nice! what color did you get? So after i didn't order last weekend, i found one on FB for sale. Green color. The guy had it 2 weeks and his job put him in a service truck so he didn't need it. I got it for 400. Now I'm spending the money i saved on tools and organizing the box. 🙄🙄
Awesome video! Picking mine up tomorrow. How heavy is the box. Will I need someone to help me get it out of my car and lay it down and back up to install the casters.
I just bought mine during a BlackFriday promo. Though the employees wont let me take it in a suburban. Cause it says “do not tip on the box”. Every video shows it on its backside to install the casters. Any reason why it shouldn’t be transported laying down?
Odd. My guess is they don’t want you to return it with any dents or damage to the sides. The packaging on the sides is significantly thinner than the top and bottom of the box but as you saw in the video the box was unharmed. Maybe try going a different day and time to get different employees?
Guess it depends on where you live. The employees here let me take it laying down in my SUV. They loaded it for me and wished me luck unloading. (It is HEAVY.) It arrived home just fine, and yes you'll need to lay it down to put on the casters anyway.
I wonder if you can sit on the drawer. I had a coworker at the last shop I worked at that had an orange Snap On Tool box that looked literally exactly like this one and he would sit on the edge of the bottom drawer and it wouldn't flex or anything. Then again he was a small dude as well. Maybe weighed 120lbs.
@@davida871 thank you for the reminder! I’m going to get going on that now. I do have lots of thoughts that might be helpful to perspective buyers. In the meantime, here’s my original set up: th-cam.com/video/ppMSojYwmyA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=YKtHyZSMysn-guMj I’ll do an update tour along with the 1 year review in the next few weeks. Stay tuned!
I am about to drop the hammer on buying the "Yellow Submarine" color, can you tell me how you managed to man-handle this 392.26 pounds of toolbox? I will be bringing mine home in a 2019 Santa Fe, how or what did you use to cushion the drop from your Jeep to your garage floor? I used the extra recycle bins on the large Tool Cart I bought a few weeks ago on top of one a moving blanket to help myself. Thanks for your insight.
The guys at harbor freight helped me load in the back. Easily done with 2 guys but a breeze with 3+. I’d recommend putting a thick blanket underneath before you lay it in so you can use that pull it out and also protect your rear bumper. I just slowly backed it out and then supported it as I lowered it to the ground. I’d only pull it closer to the ground the further I’d pull it out. Best advice is to get a buddy, but I did it myself just slowly. You can also get a bunch of stacked up cardboard and use that as a ramp down.
@@learnsavediy How did the big unload go once you got home and it was just you? That was my question really, I don't want to impose on a neighbor if I can get it by myself. Thanks.
@@paulshaar4187 honestly it wasn’t too bad. As long as you have decent upper body strength you can definitely do it. Just watch the car bumper as you come down and do it slowly and you can do it. The blanket underneath helped me easy slide it out but yes you can do it yourself if you have upper body strength. Good luck!
@@learnsavediy Thanks, you are correct, it wasn't too bad really, I took my time and the plan came together. At 68 I have to think things trough before jumping in, I don't have the strength I used to have.
I was under the same impression at first but none of my pry bar, even the various brands don’t fall through. I’m planning on epoxy-ing washers to shrink the diameter to fit my needs.
@@learnsavediy Fair enough. Now that I think of it, the last roll cart I had had similar sized holes, however there were plastic inserts it came with that reduced the diameter.
You are probably the only youtuber that measured the dimensions of the packaging box including the pellet. That was very helpful as I don't have a pick up and really wanted to ship one back to Canada.
I can’t tell you how many videos I watched trying to find out myself before picking it up! Glad I could help you out 😀
Got mine for $430 and it’s awesome. Fuck those expensive carts. I’m a DYI guy, and it’s been amazing use for 4 months now.
Nice deal! I use mine a lot and very much enjoy each time I use it. Thanks for watching.
It's best to have someone help you lift this tool cart up, It's very heavy. Have had mine for over a year now and love it.
I hate chrome and I love that they went with the black on black. Good thorough review tho 👍🏼
Cool. You can try 1/4" clear tubing and slice it open along it's length to use as hole grommets. Just cut the length to match the hole circumference.
Thanks for the tip!
Thank you for the measurements that incorporated the packaging. I have a quarter inch to spare inbetween my wheel wells. 2010 equinox.
Let us know if you get it home!
i wish HF does free delivery bc I don’t have a truck or SUV. Craftsman may get my money bc Lowe’s has free delivery.
I hate the lack of free shipping but I guess it’s to save on costs. I prefer the US General boxes than craftsman but do what’s best for you!
@@learnsavediy the 90 days warranty on US General is oddly short.

Can I use your member discount 😅
@@BIGTAGGARTJust practice your sweet talking…It is amazing how much leverage and power they have to discount items. Talking from experience.
Last four holes are for giant pry bars
Grommets work great for the oversized holes on mine
What do you keep in yours? Did you just use the ones for HF?
@learnsavediy Crow bars, pry bars, breaker bars fit nicely in those larger holes. Torque wrenches too.
Aren't the larger holes for stuff like ratchets
Potentially. Only a few of my 1/2 drive fit. The problem is the ratchet can’t have anything on the handle and needs to have a fat enough head to hang. I can only use my 1/2 drive craftsman. My others don’t work.

I’d be interested myself. Granted I weight much more than 120… cheers!
@@learnsavediy I feel that dude, so am I.
The snap on cart was probably around 3k where this cart is under 700.
@@coochieslayer22 facts
But why? This is a tool box, if you want to test it out just put a lot tools a see how it holds up, simple.
Thanks for the video🎉
You’re very welcome!
dang that's nice.!
Yes, I honestly love this box. Highly highly recommend it to anyone! I will likely do a follow up video. Cheers

What's the box height without the casters installed?
39 3/4 with the lid open without casters
16:00 really? pry bars obviously

That's how I feel about this box. Very happy with it. Cheers
