nice review! I picked up a bunch of these on FB marketplace for a good price. can't wait to get them installed in my new garage when the house is done.
Great video and great channel ! I subscribed and am going to checkout more of your videos when I have time. I’m thinking of getting these gladiator cabinets after I get finished remodeling my garage. Great video !
Nice setup. I have 8 Gladiator cabinet for 7 or 8 years now and some of the door surfaces need a slight restoration. one had a stain that looked like paint that I tried to buff out then clean with a solvent (can't remember exactly what but I'm sure it was not too harsh of a chemical). Also a few doors have some dull surface areas. My doors look glossier than yours but maybe that's just the way the video presents them. Any tips on how to refinish would be appreciated.
Thanks yea I love these cabinets. In regard to the surface having some dull areas, I haven't tried it myself but maybe try some automotive polish. You do need to be careful with what chemicals you use on them as I have heard in the past some cleaning chemicals can cause some discoloration. If it's bad enough, reach out to Gladiator as these have a decent warranty and I'm sure they could send replacement doors if you feel is defect. For me personally, I have only ever used a microfiber towel and water to wipe mine clean. On occasion when I get grease on the handles, I use some tub o towels but I immediately wipe clean with water once done.
The one under my bench is the older 52" GATR5210WG model that has unfortunately been discontinued. I bought it maybe 10 years ago, and when I wanted to get another about 5 years ago it wasn't available anymore, so I bought the other 41" model also shown in the video. I like them both, but that extra 10 inches really helps store a lot more stuff on the top shelf. Here is an older link at Lowes, maybe you can find a used one somewhere: www.lowes.com/pd/Gladiator-38-78-in-x-51-97-in-10-Drawer-Ball-bearing-Steel-Tool-Chest-Silver/50381168
@TeamDIYNow aw damn, oh well, thanks for the info! Loved the video btw, very informative. I've been looking at setting these up for a while now but just haven't pulled the trigger. There's a bunch of 20% off deals on their website right now so I was thinking about making the investment.
@@floridaman888 Glad you liked it, thanks for watching! They are definitely worth it especially when on sale. One thing you can try is to see if you qualify for whirlpoolinsidepass.com. Its Whirlpools employee discount, plus they do it for various other companies as well (assuming Whirlpools suppliers, trucking companies, etc). I use to have a brother that worked for Whirlpool, the inside price is basically 50% off all Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Gladiator, etc. If you dont qualify, you can also do a couple of Reddit searches as well, appears there are some offering email signups. Good luck.
Good review of a good product! Maybe I missed it, but how high is your workbench surface and how high did you mount your 30" cabinets above it? I am getting ready to mount my 30" and am undecided between an 18" height or 24" height above the workbench. Thanks for any insight.
From the garage floor to the top of my workbench is 37''. From the top of the workbench to bottom of the cabinet is 15''. Im 5'9'' so I wanted to make sure I could still reach the top shelf on the cabinet and also be able to clear the tool chest underneath the workbench. Hope this helps.
I bought a bunch of Gladiator cabinets almost 5 years ago and have been happy with them for the most part. Their website...not so much. Pretty clunky to use for shopping with lack of photos on many of the pages. Also pretty steep price increases on some items (50% increase on shelves in less than 5 years??) So a bit overpriced IMO, but the quality is pretty good and they assemble really well with a few exceptions.
I agree the Premier is the way to go for the wall cabinets. However, the standing cabinets the only premier version available is very small so forced to buy the ready to assembly if need larger cabinet.
Yup agree, silicone spray is best to use on hinges. I was referring to WD40 in general, they make a silicone spray as well. This is the one I use: amzn.to/46Ox3Nn

Could you share the partnumber for the tool box under your work bench? Super interested in grabbing one of those. Thanks!

I use the 6' ones as desks
Yea these tables would work well as a desk!

Yea I know what you mean, some of the items did increase quite a bit in price while others are still the same price.
Premier is much more stable.
Go with the premiere if you’re questioning the difference
I agree the Premier is the way to go for the wall cabinets. However, the standing cabinets the only premier version available is very small so forced to buy the ready to assembly if need larger cabinet.
Never apply wd40 on a squeaking hinge. Instead use silicone spray.
