- Online they look the same ---- but are they? We bought both of these 9-drawer mobile workstations from Home Depot & Harbor Freight thinking that they were identical, but it turns out we were wrong.....they are not the same.....not even close!

What's the top of both?? Hardwood or laminated mdf?
Guessing and hoping yukon
So fantastic to see a tool review that actually looks at the construction of the products instead of just providing a meaningless surface level view. Thanks for this work!
Husk has improved since this was made
Me crying in 2022 because these are $500 now. Brutal.
You can get the Yukon box right now for $323 after tax with the coupon until February 18th
@@robcarr8505kinda tempting tbh, just need tools haha
I just picked up the Yukon for $300 flat out the door.
I’m planning to buy the husk but it’s 400$
Me crying for you cause it’s 300$ at harbor freight and 350$ at Home Depot
I didn't know what a rivet nut was before this video but now I want them. Also when you mentioned what the price was 5 years ago I nearly cried, they're both around $500 now.
Damned glad I watched this video. Yukon it is...and I would not have guessed that prior to watching.
So glad I skimmed across your comment because I did the same as you plus I got the guy at Home Depot to knock of a extra $50 for minor damages “scuff” so I got mine for $298 thanks mate
Me either.
Same here. Figured they would be lesser quality than us general, as they are cheaper price wise. Just looked at the nine drawer Yukon today in person.... Was blown away by the smooth sturdy feeling of even the full width drawer. So glad I stopped to examine it.
Going to use the Yukon without casters in a corner workbench I can sit at.
@@danielrunyon4830 I am very happy with this purchase.
Husky on sale today for $398.
I purchased a Yukon yesterday. Now I’m waiting for the store to revive it. I was holding my breath watching this video. When it was over my exhale was nothing short of a wind tunnel. Great review!
LOL I did the same exact thing ! Just ordered a Yukon 30 minutes ago
This is really interesting. Just got the Husky and they’ve now updated every issue you mention: includes drawer liners, screwed top, rib nuts, double drawer slide, etc. it also looks like the Yukon has upgraded a few components as well including now being equivalent in height to the Husky. At this point they really look almost identical.
And as of right now (7/23) the price on both is just under $400
I’ve been loving the Husky so far but seems like both are great buys atm.
I was just comparing these at the stores It seems that the Yukon drawer slides allow the drawer to shake a little more. I didn't have the exact husky to compare it to at the store I was at. do your drawer slides wiggle a lot?
I got the Husky and so far I'm happy with it. It came with drawer liners in each draw, and has a built in power strip on the side, which I like. Maybe they updated it again since this video came out.
I forwarded this to a buddy of mine who is debating on the Yukon or the Huskey, thanks very clear and well-delivered information!
Damn!!!...very good video and narrator was clear and descriptive of tool box ...made me decide to go with a Yukon...keep up the good work...Greetings from San Juan, TX
The Yukon, I'm installing it in my vintage '57 silver streak 32 ft travel trailer for kitchen counter/cabinet. Lots of room for stuff. Lower to the floor, not going to use the wheels. Black paint matches my appliance
I had that same exact Yukon box. It got me through my schooling and I to a professional mechanics job. But eventually I ran out of room and upgraded to a Mac box. But no regrets at all from the Yukon and highly recommend for decent budget box.
thank you for the great information..i purchased the Yukon 46" today .the best thing I have purchased in a long time.
Excellent video! I actually just purchased the Yukon this afternoon and then found this video. The title made me worried for a second that I may have made a bad purchase but I am pleasantly surprised. Thanks for the great info!
This video did a much better job than HF advertising the Yukon.
Wow. 2.5 years later the Yukon is only up to $329 right now at Harbor Freight but I'm still going to buy it when I can. Thanks for the video!
Use the coupons!!
@@rrenee501 oh I will. They even just have them in store most times.
I picked up the husky today on sale, and it now has rivnuts drawer liners and a fixed top. The handle only attached to one side but it does have power strip and usb. And now double drawer slides on the big drawers.
Very well done review. Accurate too from what I check out. This video is done right: straight to the point, facts comparison is concise, no non value added time wasting opinions. Very good job. Do more of reviews like this!
I recently purchased the Yukon and got everything moved into it. Very impressed with build quality. Great review.
You did a very nice job going over all of the features of each tool box. Great job.
I don't care who sells what because it all comes down to the final finished product. There is a very distinct difference in attention to detail between both similar products. Yukon is the better constructed product where the greater flaws reside with the Husky. Great review, keep up the good job! Spokane Valley, WA.
I have a stainless steel Husky roll around tool cabinet that"s used as a kitchen prep station. It has great storage for pot, pans and food preparation utensils.
Wow. Would have thought just the opposite. Thanks so very much for this great review! Just found a Husky on sale at my local Home Depot this evening for $548 vs. Harbor Freight @ $699. Will watch for great Black Friday sale :) These would be used for my sewing room &/or tools for garage.Thanks again!
Don't forget the HF 20% off coupon.
This is an amazing comparison video. Very well done and glad it popped up in my search.
I see Husky added a few features in the current model that the Yukon had in this model; notably the duel tracks on the bottom drawer. They also added padding and outlets... I think the engineers watch the videos, which is cool.
Definitely cool if they do watch the videos. If so, it's a win/win for the engineers and the consumers because for the engineers it would make their job slightly easier to see what needs improving at least for the brainstorming aspect. The consumers are also happy with said improvements. Now, in the automotive industry, if they weren't so gung-ho about planned obsolescence that would be a win/win right there too....
Liked & Subbed! I got the Yukon for Christmas! I tried to buy the Husky as well but lucky for me they were sold out of the Husky! My plans are to buy six or seven for my wood shop. Looks like I’ll be going w/ the Yukon! Thanks for making this and other videos! Have A Super Week!.....Gus
I'm glad I watched this! Thank you. Also love that you get right to the point.
I own two of the Yukon boxes. One for home and one for work. No issues out of either one. Great box.
I've had the Yukon for a while now. For home use, this is great. Just depends what your application is going to be.
Yukon for the win!! I'm a welder and have been using the Yukon over a year now and love it!!
SPOILER!
I'm hoping Yukon is better, but haven't finished the video yet lol
I've been using my husky box for 3 years the exact one and this video fully loaded not a single problem the one top stains very easily
Because of this review my brother and I each bought the Yukon. Thanks for the great review of both cabinets.
2021 - The Yukon is still a great buy and this video helped me discover it. Thanks!
Except the current Husky box is very different from the one he featured in this video. They now have two slides on the bottom drawers, come with drawer liners, and a fixed wood top. They also have an integrated power strip, soft close drawers, and much more storage capacity. All for $30 more.
@@kenjcm Yes, the husky line is actually showing some pretty nice improvement across the board. I'm really impressed by their heavy duty line-up of full size boxes.
Husky I thought would be victorous but i gotta go with the Yukon after seeing your review
Don't count on this old review, I got a husky recently and it's different than this old 2017 review
@@dieseljunker9234 definitely get the husky these days. It's about 40 dollars more than the Yukon but has 19,000 sq. In of space compared to 10,000 sq. In in the Yukon. Drawers are way more sturdy as well, and it includes a power bank on the side of the chest as well.
I know the review is older, but based on this review, the Yukon wins me over. I need one, so I will look over them in-person. For now, Yukon wins. I’ll repost after seeing them personally.
I agree
I got the new husky 46” and damn is it nice it’s also 24” deep now so it has more room. This Is definitely an out of date review now.
R.T.Reviews: I bought my Husky about 10 years ago, and its been in several shops and now at home, in my garage. I'd buy it again , if needed. No problems with it .
I’m currently debating between both of these and your video just convinced me to go with the Yukon. Thanks!
Yukon. Just bought one before watching this. Now I'm even happier that I did buy the Yukon
Good purchase JD! I only wish it was as tall as the Husky so that I could integrate it into the side cabinet set up for my 44 inch set. It's a few inches lower than the 7 drawer side cab, so it wont attach. Bummer.
Rob's Wrenches Me too. I wish it was taller
Install bigger wheels.
HF has really nice rubber inflatable ones.
put spacers under chest above the casters?
@@robswrenches9501 you can get the 44 inch and install a piece of plywood on the top
Outstanding review and concise side-by-side comparison! Perfect! I wish more reviews were more like this. Also, very helpful in making decision on which to buy. I wish the Yukon were slightly taller, but everything else was a "no brainer," especially for those of us that live in hot, humid areas. Thank you!
Those issues are no longer the case with the current Husky box. The wood top is now fixed like the Yukon, and they also fixed most of the other things too, like the bottom drawers now also have the double slides and they also come with pre-cut drawer liners. And the features the Yukon don't have, the Husky has soft-close drawers (which I love), and an integrated power strip, which is super useful. Also remember it has more storage capacity. All for $30 more with a better warranty.
Does Husky now use actual rivnuts?
This video made me a convert to your channel because you showed objectivity, critical thinking, and transparency - excellent job! Six months ago I purchased the 62" Husky workbench with adjustable top - that feature is what sold me given my limited shop space. It was my second tool cabinet, but clearly, I did not even know how to do my homework at the time (insert embarrassment here), but it was a huge improvement in quality over my first chest which was a 10-year-old Craftsman Pro. After viewing this, I went to your channel and watched the 72" rolling chest comparison of Husky vs. US General from Harbor Freight, which was an eye-opener for me. So I went out to my shop and was relieved that the 62" workbench had markedly better quality than either of the Husky's you reviewed! The biggest lesson - throw away blind brand loyalty, and DO YOUR HOMEWORK!
Clearly, this is a rapidly moving marketplace - it's interesting that there is so much rapid change in the tool & shop storage space relative to many other markets. As an example, for some years I've only heard contempt about Harbor Freight from some people around me. For my birthday my lovely wife, not knowing anything other than it was a "tool place" bought me an Inside Track Club membership and that in turn forced me to get to know my local store, and learn a lot about the company and its tools. As I now know, we are seeing a long-term steady improvement in design and quality of Harbor Freight's products. I've bought several, and each time they have exceeded my expectations. At the same time, we're seeing some pretty poor product come out of other stalwart brands. Just like we watched with Japan over many decades, Chinese manufacturing is learning and continually improving. And manufacturers seem to be realizing that we Americans would like to see production that makes sense to be moved back on-shore. At least design, steel, forging, and final assembly and test. With so much changing, big-ticket items deserve objective research. And, in the case of Harbor Freight, that warranty is hard to beat!
Straight facts!
Before this video I had watched the Snap-On vs Harbor Freight torque wrench video, then this video, I just subbed to this channel!! Thank You!
Wow thanks for the honest review i was thinkin of getting the huskey but changed my mine ima check out that yukon thanks again bro
Yukon discontinued
I bought the Husky 52" box in November of 2016, the box came with drawer liners for all 18 drawers and had double slides on both deep drawers. The box purchased was on sale for $498, two of my fellow coworkers bought the same box from separate Home Depots and received entirely different results. I think Home Depot is purchasing boxes under the Husky logo from many different suppiers.
3 Yukons!! Thanks for the review!!!😎🤙😊
I'm new to your channel and must say that you do some of the best product comparisons on TH-cam. Glad to have found you and to have subscribed.✌️
good review! Thanks for your time on this. I guessed wrong on the quality but will for sure check out the yukon.
Good review, unfortunately it's long outdated now, 5 yrs later. The 46" 9 drawer Husky they now sell has an attached top, drawer liners and double slides on the deep bottom drawer. Hopefully they've upgraded other aspects of it too.
Really great review! I was considering either one, but thanks to your side by side comparison, I may purchase the Harbor Freight model.
Man you cannot go wrong with the Yukon!! I love mine
Most helpful video, thank you! Just picked up the Yukon yesterday. Only change is that they no longer include the drawer liners. Paid $300+tax after a $40 off coupon. Just bolt the wheels on and fill her up!
I purchased a 52" Huskey about 8 years ago and its still like new! Very well made and it looks it!
I really wish there was an updated review of the newer models. The husky is 24” deep now and that tips the scales.
Not really. The build quality is still subpar to the Yukon. I looked at the updated Husky too and still bought the Yukon.
Excellent video!
Top notch review. Glad I found it as I'm in the market for a box like this and have both stores available to me.
Love ever one of these videos! Thanks for the great content!
Great video. If I had to pick right here from my comfy recliner after seeing this video I would pick the Yukon. Harbor Freight boxes have generally got pretty good reviews from what I have seen. Perhaps not the "best of the best" but you arent paying that either. There are things at HF that ... well lets just say they arent even low range quality, but their tool chests seem to be pretty decent, not only for a home mechanic but even in a shop environment (starting out at least). Good informative video!
Yes I was right Yukon... now that was a very useful informative and well put together video. Thanks.
Excellent video. Extremely helpful and made my decision easy. Thanks dude!
You have a great voice for these comparisons
Great review. I would definitely choose the Yukon due to the build quality.
I believe the Husky has gone up a in price to account for the improved quality. I recently bought the Yukon with a total of 30% discount. At Home Depot, I can often get a 10% discount for being a veteran (doesn't apply to wood and certain other items that have a very low margin.). Either way, I prefer to support Harbor Freight as they have made HUGE efforts to improve quality and service. I feel that they are becoming what Craftsman USED to be. They have stores all over, and their warranty/guarantee is as good as anyone's. We are fortunate to have HF. They've become the go-to for many people.
Just bought the Husky one here at Home Depot in Canada and it came with the drawer liners
Great clear and informative video. I'll be getting the Yukon tomorrow.
Hey first time Watcher I would like to say that I appreciate your review on the Husky and the Yukon it was very informative and detail I'm pretty sure I'm going to subscribe to your Channel
+Danny Filsaime thanks! 👍
There are a lot of Harbor Freight "haters". You just have to decide what you buy items for. Is it a "consumable"?? This box is an exception to that principle. Nice video....
Great Video! I'm glad I found this video prior to purchasing. Great explanation and information. Thanks so much.
Missed this video before pulling the trigger on the Yukon 9 Drawer this afternoon. I was a bit nervous to play the vid but now and throughly pleased with my selection. HF also had it on sale for $329 vs. $389 for the Husky. Great job on your detailed review. Thumbs up!!👍
~20 years with the cheapest ~8 drawer Harbor Freight tool box sold, works fantastic! Drawers slide with ease, never as issue.
Blakelikesfood they last a long time if you never you use them!
Jimmy Grant: Yawn, building 7 vehicles at once right now with it, which is about par every year.
Blakelikesfood actually waterloo
Blakelikesfood 7 vehicles isn't that much for a year!
Jimmy Grant : No Jimmy, not 7 vehicles a year....7 vehicles at a time.
I bought my Yukon as a floor model for $220 a year ago and I’m so glad I did after seeing this review. I’m going to get the same one for more tool storage space.
Great, clear comparison. My son is looking at the Yukon to go in his detached garage. Seems he made the right choice.
I bought a Husky and was disappointed one of the drawer slides came apart and is a challenge to reassemble. Great Video keep these reviews coming
I was HOPING for the Yukon to win, but wasn't sure.
I'm glad they did and if I don't get a US General, the Yukon is probably the best bet.
By the way, this review is VERY helpful. I like the fact that you showed all of the attachments and reinforcement on both boxes. That will help me know what to look for in whatever I buy.
Husky mustve seen this. I got a Husky box as a gift this year and the current gen box versus this 3 year old box doesnt even compare anymore.
You get the lazer cut drawer liners, secured wood top, better slides, double slides on bottom drawers and the integrated power strip with 2 USB ports.
Husky magically discontinued this junk box about 3 weeks after I made this video & exposed them....
@@RealToolReviews We miss you, can't wait to see you come back and expose more manufacturers and show people you dont need to pay a premium for a name.
@@RealToolReviews thanks for exposing them because the new husky box is very nice now.
Very good review, I’m in the process of getting a Yukon and this review made up my mind
Excellent video. I was on the fence between these two boxes thinking that the Harbor Freight would probably be lower quality because of the stigma of that store. After this I'm 100% convinced and going to buy a Yukon this weekend!
real tool reviews still the best despite the bums out there causing problems
I bought a Husky 41 inch wide 18 deep and (roughly) 60 inches tall, about 5 weeks ago. It is not nearly as cheap as the one that you have shown and cost just under $500. It also came with drawer liners. This is an interesting video and im sure glad that i purchased my box before the cheap manufacturing took place.
Mine also came with liners, with the husky logo embossed into every liner...
You bough a different model given the price.
So glad I watched this video before purchasing. Pleasantly surprised. Thanks for the review
Thanks for the great review. I’ve got the Yukon 46-inch 1-drawer (it’s the one with cabinet drawers below the drawer). I picked it up before the price increases for about $225. I didn’t install the wheels and it’s a very capable and sturdy lathe stand and cabinet to keep some of my wood finishes. I’m planning on getting the 9-drawer (now $350!!) as soon as they’re back in stock in Virginia. Appreciate the great content!
The 9 drawer is $425 now
@@JohnWilliamLeonard35 I’ve got two 9-drawers now too. I keep an eye on the HF emails and it’s been on sale a lot lately for about $375, I think. Still a good value, but those prices have been Bidenized everywhere!
Have you done a comparison on the us general vs yukon? I know they are both sold at Harbor Freight, but I am interested in the pros and cons of both. Great videos! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos :)
I dont have any experience with the Yukon but I just upgraded from the Husky in the video to a 72" US General and its exponential better in terms of quality. Its a very solid box that has some heft to it and can hold a lot more weight. I think whether you go with USG or Yukon would depend on your use. If you are a professional mechanic or hardcore DIY mechanic at home get the US General. If you just want a nice toolbox with a work top to keep household tools in get the Yukon.
Thanks a lot for this video i was about to get me the husky but after seeing this im gonna get me the Yukon from hf and save some money. 👍
You went into all the right details. Thank you.
Good review just purchased the yukon today in blue
I bought the Husky toolbox about a month ago and it looks like the design has been updated. Its 37” tall, the wood top is bolted down, the bottom drawers have 2 slides, and the entire inside of the box has been painted. I didn’t check to see the bolt size or what kind of nuts it uses.
I watched this video 2 years ago and was on huskies side, now i’m in a position to buy a chest. Harbor freight is where my money is going, my opinion has changed quite a bit
this video just made my mind to get the Yukon when I'm ready to purchase one! thanks
great video. was a big help. after watching about 10 videos yours is the best
When I buy Harbor Freight tools, I buy with my eyes open. Home Depot is supposed to sell only quality stuff, but, well...
Wow!! That was surprising!! YUKON FTW!!
bought that yukon last year. just by lookin at the 2 products, i would have never guessed the differences. glad i watched this vid and glad that i made the right choice
Awesome comparison. Getting some Yukon's. Thank you!
Been a while since your last video, is everything ok? I hope to see more vids soon!
I just bought a the husky box at my local Home Depot yesterday, it’s totally different now, no removable wood top, dual slides on the bottom drawers and it did come with drawer liners and a power strip on the side
Same here, just got mine two days ago, very well made for the price, has 3 year warranty, dual slides on bottom drawers, has liners, screwed in wood on top, better bolts for casters, overall great box
Thanks for the info. Gonna buy a Husky because they have it in stock, vs. Yukon, where you have to place an order.
@@AndyVids2011 I did mine on home depot website and they had it in stock in gray, looks very good as well
The new Husky box is also 24 in. depth vs 18.5 in. depth on the Yukon, that's a lot more space in each drawer and surface to work on... so $90 more I'll go with the Husky
That version is not the same as the one being reviewed here. The one in the video is still being sold for $299. The version you purchased is $399.
Model # 7440946R is the $299 version and H46MWC9XD-TL is the $399
Wow. And, the ironic thing is that they're about to open a brand new Harbor Freight on the opposite side of the lot where the old Home Depot is. Looks like i'm going to be taking mama's truck to the grand opening. Good video, very informative. Just didn't see that one coming. Totally called it wrong. Thanks!
Just got the Yukon one. Very satisfied.
Another amazing video! :D
"Which one is going to be the winner here"
The DeWalt in the back there.
ja ja interesting comment
Just grabbed a white Yukon at my local HFT and got 20% off to boot. Its so rad! I love it and it occupies less space than my previous work bench setup. Awesome quality.
Purchasing the Yukon this week!! Feel better after watching this video.
Nice video comparison! Let us know if you need any welding or plasma cutting equipment for your shop!
Shoot me an email ---- address in "about" page here. Thanks!
I can't stop staring at that Dewalt in the back.
🤣🤣🤣
$1500 ?
Same. I love the color.
I bought a white Yukon. I'm still waiting for it to arrive as it was a special order and no local store had it in stock. That was about 2 weeks ago. Excellent review. A coworker of mine bought the Husky version (stainless steel version) and I'm looking forward to teasing him with my Yukon once I get it to work. Excellent review!
I just bought the Yukon. Doing the assembling this evening. Will follow up on a review as well but definitely glad I watched your video. It was well done. Thank you!
Would love to hear what you think! I'm purchasing one or the other this 4th of July weekend and can't decide. The Husky is in stock at HD. There's at least a 3 week wait for the Yukon at HF. ):
R Renee' the Yukon is great. Love it. Made much more durable and worth the wait. You’ll keep a tool box/cabinet for years. Get the better one.
@@scottbrewington7230 - Thanks for the feedback. Very helpful!
R Renee' you’re very welcome.
