I bought my wife two of the Kobalt ones, and a 3 drawer base for one of them. She uses them as jewelry boxes. She loves them, and is now jonesing for a U.S. General one.
ha exactly what i was thinking. i have an old waterloo that's pretty sweet, i'd look at that. otherwise, you're just looking at some buckle latchs on the side or front, a handle and notching the front for a piece of flat stock. wouldn't be hard to do with a drill, rivets and dremel.
This is currently sitting on my desk with my afternoon coffee supplies. I am now a small Italian bistro disguised as a toolbox. No one is taking my shit.
I have a 7 drawer Machinist's chest which is perfect for my bike tools. I could see having something maybe 2/3 or 3/4 the size of my 20" box, but not 1/4 the size. Just way too small.
i want one but it not having full extension rails and not having the colors I want (white and purple) super sucks. I'll probably still get one if they come out in white.
I remember about 5 years ago I bought the US General rolling cabinet 4 drawer chest for $99 ($120 without) great cabinet, solid built, now it’s $230.🤦🏼♂️ Buy this mini box now because I’m sure HF will raise the price to $60 soon.
Thanks! I love that box. I always used a mix of different size and brands of tool boxes and this is the first “big” box I ever picked up. I got it on sale and used a coupon on top and it was somewhere around $700 out the door.
Well shoot, i got the kobalt mini tool box from lowes. It doesn't have ball bearings slides. Thats my only complaint about it. Now I'll have to stop at harbor freight to check out theirs.
@@davidsizemore9640they really dropped the ball on the no drawer sliders. Was ready to get a whole bunch of them to put together gift "baskets" for friends/family, glad I got one to try it first.
Too bad they didn't f'en say ya couldn't buy more than 2. NO LIMITS LISTED ONLINE OR IN FLYER ! Next time I won't waste my time, I'll go somewhere else.

I'm going to put my gradson's favorite Hotwheels in this.
I use them for scale modeling tools and storage. They work just great!
I had the same thoughts for hobby tools
Would be nice if the drawers opened all the way
I picked up one up today! It’s a great little tool box for the bench or desk to hold EDC items! 👍🏻
I was thinking of using this for my pencils, markers and odd small stuff on my bench.
I’m thinking about getting a couple of them and doing a 1/4 socket set and a 3/8 socket set complete with ratchet and some extensions
That's what I'm thinking too.
I got my 1/2 inch craftsmen v series sockets on the back of one.
I got the red one, its 🔥. Really impressed. Wish they had the green one. I will use it to store my removable drives, cables, and networking tools.
I might have to put one on my desk in my office at work just for a conversation piece.
I thought about going to get one but I want one when the white is out to match my 56+42
It looks like it would be a good box for calipers, micrometers, and the like. It would be real nice if it had a base you could stack it on.
If Harbor Freight continues to copy Lowe’s I can see a lower box coming out in the future.
I want a closing latch on the front, and a handle on the top to carry it. Or wheels on the bottom!

I agree but not with the wheels
You can definitely add a sticky door handle on top 😄
The top compartment you said is 1/2 inch deep but I think you’re forgetting that the top add to that. I’d like to know exactly how much
Good catch! It’s another 1/2” but the edges of the lid are hemmed so the opening is 10-1/4” wide by 5-1/4” front to back.

😂😂
My son could use this for Gundum making tools. I would use it for 3D Printer tools!
Where did you get the other tool box with the handle on the lid?
The tools that came with it say Task Force and Project Source which apparenly come from Lowe's. I probably got it 7 or 8 years ago though.
It pains me to say this as a Snap-on fanboy but it’s better than the Snap-on mini box. And the price is great
Very cool, I love'em, only drawback.... the drawers don't open very far
Looking forward to green and purple versions
I have no use for it but it’s kinda cool.
Black Friday sale$9.98.
If Snap-On made one, it would cost $1,700
they do, its $125
@@vezhxv6806 Six times the cost. Sounds about right.
How do you think they gas up all those trucks?
They do its available for the low price of only $125
(That was Sarcasm about the low price) 😂😂
Great. Two months ago I bought a mini toolbox from the Matco truck for $125
I've seen reports that it will be a $9.99 unadvertised BF deal. I still don't need it but maybe as a gift to my kid.
you would be correct
It’s actually advertised as $10 on BF. Got a copy of the BF ad in store yesterday.
I could use one for TIG torch cups, collets, consumables and tungstens.
That’s a good idea 👍🏼
Shows "in store only" but none of the 3 stores close to me has them.
They have them locked up till Black Friday. I saw that a memo went out to all the stores to pull them unless they had more than 70 units in stock.
Wanted to go pick one up to hold my knives and other small tools but they’re all sold out at two stores!
Is there a matching bottom chest for it?
Not yet but I think the Kobalt version from Lowe's works.
@LucidAutowerks thanks
Look good on my kitchen counter
The drawers dont open up far enough on the HF box. I like the other one. You can do away with the lid locking the drawers closed.
Which do you prefer?
Got a Kobalt on my electronics bench for standard tools.
It would probably make a great jewelry box.
I have a 7 drawer Machinist's chest which is perfect for my bike tools. I could see having something maybe 2/3 or 3/4 the size of my 20" box, but not 1/4 the size. Just way too small.

EDC storage
Is this a series 3, if not no deal
Good for a gunsmithing bench for the smaller tools.
yeah planning on using for gunsmitthing and archery tools, possible flint knapping as well
I'd use one of those to keep my metric and sae taps separate
That's a great idea
We use to be a proper country fighting for toys in a mall.
Love it!

What is the difference between toy or tool?
Touché 😂
It would be great for contraceptives, contraband and paraphernalia
One of the pictures in the intro has a box packed full of jazz cabbage 😂😂
Pocket knives
Poor little Tenney...he's gone missing again!
If only we can get Project Farm to do a comparison.
U.S. general claims up to 5 pounds per drawer. We’re gonna test that
i need one of these so bad and i don't know why. also nice husky box in the background, i got the same one.
Thanks! I love that box. I always used a mix of different size and brands of tool boxes and this is the first “big” box I ever picked up. I got it on sale and used a coupon on top and it was somewhere around $700 out the door.
I want one to put next to my mini floor jack.
Where’d you get the mini floor jack?

10mm socket on the milk carton omfg lolololol
Be good for my drill bits
I was thinking about getting one..but now I know it only opens three inches....i will have to pass.. it will be more aggravation than it it worth.
Yeah that’s kind of a bummer. If you use it for pocket knives and keep them all positioned front to back it might not be so bad.
made this same point on another channel , and people lost it, was just making a point and i couldnt agree more.
Little people need these. Or Leprechauns....trolls....oompaloompas....
@@barrykelly2722Gnomes.
@@barrykelly2722 LOL!
Sold out here
I happened to get lucky and be there the day they arrived.
I'll stick with my Kennedy 526
I think Lowe's version doesn't come with the drawer liners.
kobalt lowes version has no slides/no drawer liners, you are correct
@@davidsizemore9640 - They should include the liners.
@@davidsizemore9640they really dropped the ball on the no drawer sliders. Was ready to get a whole bunch of them to put together gift "baskets" for friends/family, glad I got one to try it first.
I put my gun cleaning stuff in the box
I'm going to try that. Great idea!
Looks like a nice desktop handgun box.
I've got every color but yellow! They're great for storing Beanie Babies.
That's creepy
yes you should go buy one rn even if you have the kobalt go buy one
not in but next to. i have a mini floor jack.
the lowes tool box costs more.
and is made cheap.
Mini jack?! Oh man I need to check that out. I feel like I’m turning into my mom in the late 80s collecting miniatures 😂😂
Too bad it doesn’t have a locking top …..Kaizen foam in Top for 1911 .45 , second drawer kaizen foam drilled for ammo , bottom drawer cleaning kit.
I like how you think!
easy to fix.
Not sure about all sizes, but I can see remote controls and such on a table at the ready.
I've got one in red. It's not a toy made to look like a tool box. It's an actual functional toolbox. Just a really small one.
i have 2 of the kobalt. And theyre too small for almost everything
I too went and got a kobalt one too. The drawers are poop. I do wish it was a little bigger too. But the drawers are my biggest complaint about it.
Too bad they didn't f'en say ya couldn't buy more than 2. NO LIMITS LISTED ONLINE OR IN FLYER ! Next time I won't waste my time, I'll go somewhere else.
Maybe don’t be the dbag buying a dozen to scalp lol
