I picked up a Gloss black Extreme green Epiq 68” for 2k more. Nice box and definitely a huge upgrade for them but if your willing to pay close to 2k, check online for a used box. I drove 3.5 hours to pick mine up and I absolutely love it, looking for matching side lockers for it now but patience is key. I always hear everyone complain about snap on prices, but how many actually wait and be patient for a good deal to come along? Great video brother
My biggest gripe against Craftsman tool boxes is their drawer layouts. They are geared for the homeowner. The drawers are never wide enough for the professional mechanic. The last time I looked at Craftsman boxes at Lowe's they definitely felt tinny. I do like the drawer layout of the V series boxes. That extra deep drawer is perfect for blow molded cases, or "overblown" as I like to call them. They take up a lot of real estate.
Thanks for doing a video on this, my local Lowe’s doesn’t have any on display or in stock so I haven’t been able to look at one in person and there’s not much on here about them. Definitely a good looking box with that red accent
I got a 87 inch long 30 something deep triple bank matco 6s at work you work in a automotive shop a professional box is nice but that craftsman would be a hell of a box for the house
To be honest, the craftsman toolboxes are okay but not the greatest. Same goes for husky except they're slightly upgraded but the steel on them are a bit thin to my liking. These are made for the adverage home owner. I don't necessarily think they're bad toolboxes, they're just below adverage with their quality. I'd say the us general toolboxes and toolcarts are better than these to be honest and worth the price for the decent quality you're getting compared to craftsman.
@@chefshadetree3972I mean yeah those are pretty good but I would go with a masterforce instead that's roughly the same price if not slightly expensive as this but you get better width and depth of the drawers as well as just as good or better steel quality than the craftsman v series boxes. In my opinion, I feel that you get more bang for your buck with the masterforce boxes than what the craftsman v series offers.
@@williamsanders468 really I was just trying to show the new V series tool box. I showed the price of $1800 because Harbor Freight put that price on their new series 3 box and also the Masterforce box at Menards is the same price. In all actuality that V series Craftsman feels better than the series 3. Something to think about.
Nice looking toolbox. Love the black and red too. Thanks for sharing. Be safe and stay well.

Chefy your prob around my age, 53. Remember GNR song patience ??? All we need is alittle patience. Badass song still listen to it!!! Take care bud
@@jamesgarasiun5082 I'm 52 brother and I'm very patient. It's taken me most my life to get a tool box that I really want and I'm building it.
Nice home owner ore beginner box
Pretty much. I feel it's more solid than the US General boxes. It's on par with the old Craftsman boxes.

Beautiful. Maybe 2x stronger but it will cost you more than 2x $$$
Awesome review bro. Nice toolbox. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible weekend. Much love and RESPECT
Rip off id get harbor freight
My dad would get it cheaper,he get the veteran's discount at Lowes which is 10% except on certain things
Yeah I wish my dad was still alive, he got that too.
Its nice to see ither options on tool storage
Thanks my brother. I haven't seen anybody do a video on the Craftsman V series. Figured I'd do it.

You obviously haven't seen a V series box yet. They feel like the old Craftsman tool boxes.

I love mine there great for people not that strong craftsman god brand
The 3000 series was pretty nice but the drawer count wasn't that good..
For 1800$ I would rather buy a used snap on
Buy what you want there spanky. I'm secure enough in my manhood that I don't need a Gucci tool box to store my non Gucci tools 🤣🤣🤣
@@chefshadetree3972 I just think 1800$ is a bit more expensive for a craftsman toolbox, and I’d also rather buy an icon for that kind of money.
