Thanks for watching and supporting my channel! There will be more tool reviews to come, including a follow-up tool cabinet organization video.
I have owned this tool box for a few years and it was also a floor model. I absolutely love this box. It meets every issue that I wanted it to handle. Fantastic!
Mine has served me well so far. I need to reorganize mine a little more to maximize its use.
I recently purchased this box to start a new job in a shop. I have always had a service truck and no actual “tool box”. It’s been great though I have ran out of room and will be purchasing another in the next couple weeks.
As for the privacy drawer..... I keep my handgun, wallet and Harley keys in it during the work day.
I'm glad to hear it's working out for you. It sounds like you're putting the privacy drawer to good use.
Lol. When I saw it hat privacy door I immediately thought handgun storage.
how is the height. I am 6'3" and I am trying to find a box I don't have to keep reaching down to
@@LITTLEBRAT775081 I’m a short guy so OT works great for me. I’ve bought another box as well and now use this one at home. I ended up with the 73” Icon with 2 full size lockers and the hutch. Total length with the lockers is 10.75 feet. Still not enough room for everything so just ordered a second 73” Icon. I will bolt the boxes together and still retain both lockers as well. Will add another hitch in the near future.
QUESTION OF THE DAY: Have you tried Husky brand hand tools with the lifetime warranty? Just out of curiosity, it you used the privacy drawer with the separate key, what would you put in there? Money, invoices, quotes, forms, or something else?
The real question of the day...
How hard did you sellout?...
Anyway, who in the dumb fuck, is keeping petty cash and invoices in a toolbox?
And to answer your question, I would keep my dope and garage porn in the privacy drawer... What the hell else would you keep in a privacy drawer? Pictures of your family? Trump stickers? A Hillary Clinton centerfold (maybe a Bill?)? All your participation trophies?
I have the exact same box and I love it! When I first started out as a Ford technician, I only had a 6 drawer snap on cart and knew I would have to get a big stationary tool box eventually. I purchased the husky as I saw no need to fork out $13,000 for a snap on box that just sits there and holds tools. It’s been 7 months since I purchased mine and I can’t say one bad thing about it so far. This box gets a big thumbs up from me 👍
Wow, that's great to hear. I can't believe the Snap On brand is 13K!
markthomasbuilder I should have specified that 13k is what a box and top chest would have ran me together, not just the box. They make excellent toolboxes but not good enough to be that expensive imo
👍
Better have that $1000 box & $12,000 worth of tools
Privacy drawer that's where I keep them 10mm lol
Ahh! Thats where I'll look for mine next time, lol!
I saw this comment as the preview to the comment and I had to give it a like always losing that 10 mm
I have the same box and I use it on a daily. The soft close ball bearings will go out quick. I went from usin it at home where all of em worked to usin it everyday for the past 4 months and multiple drawers are goin out. Power strips still run like a champ. Lower lock hasn’t worked really since day one but other than that it’s a really good box and I suggest Waitin till Black Friday to get one. Not tryin to steal your thunder bro just wanted to put some downfalls in there to give a heads up
I've been using mine at home and it's holding up fine. I'm open to hearing commercial use feedback too. This one is currently reduced for Black Friday until Dec 2nd, 2020.
Nice box... The locking drawer.. If you have items you dont want people to have access, like a gun or wallet or coins, I use a brinks locking box, that id probbly use.
Thanks for sharing 👍👍
This is a great tool chest. I'm still in the process of filling it up.
I do automotive for a living. Bought the Husky 52" in January and it's been great so far. Not sure if I should blame it on thin metal or "lower quality", but one thing I noticed recently is the bigger bottom drawer making contact with the welds on the very bottom of the box. I do have some weight in that drawer but it is not jam packed. I had to remove the drawer and grind off a little bit of the welds (don't remember if it was 2 or 3) so it does not make contact anymore when opening and closing the drawer
tip for next tool chest review: show it to us all loaded up so we can gauge how much it holds
I'll do a update video, like 8 months later, how it's holding up, and how much it holds.
markthomasbuilder knock knock, it’s almost time 🙈
@@MarkThomasBuilder Time's up! Looking at getting one soon, how is it holding up!?!
Great review. Thank you. Bought this toolbox about three months ago before it went up in price. Great quality and fit/finish. Love the soft close drawers and dual power strips. Only downside is that it is hard to position by having six caster wheels. since it does not maneuver as easily as four wheel iterations. Other than that, highly satisfied. Cheers -
Neur0bit I like all the features of this tool cabinet as well.. I notice what you’re saying about the 6 wheels. I’m planning on leaving it in the same spot, most of the time, so portability is it as essential for me. Thanks!
Several reviews on Home depot had an idea I liked and tried myself, instead of the middle put your fixed casters on one end and the swivel in the middle and other end this makes it a lot easier to pivot and get it against the wall.
@@earljohnson918 That sounds like a great idea, thanks!
Earl Johnson that’s what I did to mine, I saw people doing that on their harbor freight boxes and it made sense for me to do it.
Been eyeing this one, think imma pick it up.
I'm very happy with mine! I need to organize it and make a video about what's inside my tool chest.
Privacy drawer = privacy gun
Thanks for sharing your answer!
My EXACT thought for it. I encourage the kiddos to work on the cars with me, but don't want the younger ones getting ahold of those unsupervised. Juggling that and rapid access is the battle... Working on the car is about the only time I'm not carrying IWB. ;(
Mark, to answer your question about the privacy drawer. I'm putting my will, emergency (cash money) funds, hard drive with the videos of all the ex's (know what I'm sayin') and the Staccato C2 with all the 9MM ammo I can jam in it.
Sounds like a good idea to keep those items under lock and key, lol! Thanks for sharing.
Such a sweet cabinet... i have a couple husky cabinets and my next one will be this one...
It's a great cabinet, which helps me keep my tools organized.
A few years ago, I foolishly purchased a big Husky tool chest without really knowing the weight capacity of the drawers. Overloaded the socket and wrench drawers and ruined them. Very hesitant to buy Husky again but 120lb drawers look good.
This tool chest has been successful for me so far. I have 2 drawers loaded with sockets and wrenches. So far, so good with the 120lb drawers. I'm planning on doing a tool chest organizational video soon.
Privacy drawer is perfect for the ol trusty 45. It’s a tool. Lmao
Sounds like a well thought out plan👊
i just got that one from home depoal happy with it i still dont got it all loadeed up let its still new i keep all my stuff clean i no u do to ave a good night i enjoy your video tanks
Thanks for sharing, hope it works well for you. It's been a great tool chest for me.
Your SEO on this video is killin it. "tool chest" is rank 3? Husky tool chest = rank 1!!!! Wow!
Wow, thanks for letting me know. I'm shocked, but excited!
Just brought my new Husky chest home today, I got the same as in the video, sweet!
Good choice!
How big is the box it comes in? Can I get it with a gmc jimmy or should I bring a pickup
@@undefeatedgaul3201 I think you're going to need a truck, I have a F-150 and I needed straps to hold one box on, kind of cockeyed!
@@undefeatedgaul3201 it comes in two boxes.
@@davidmcintier128 hahaha yeh once I saw the weight I brought my Sierra 1500 Crew cab. That short bed BARELY fit. Thing is a monster
Privacy drawer: Wallet, keys and firearm. All the things that go to work with me but I dont care to have on me while Im working, crawling around in cargo bays.
Sounds like a good thing to lock up. I don't like extra things on me while working either.
I bought the tool chest last year $698 plus 10% military discount.
Wow, that's a great deal!
What do you keep in the lockable dope drawer?
Thank you for this vid! Great info
You bet, glad to help!
I BUY ONE LIKE THIS WITH LIGHT ON THE UP TOP.. IS NICE..
I like the light addition that Husky includes. I wish mine had it.
Another great video Mark👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you! This tool gets a 5 star rating from me, btw. 😀👍
The only thing I have found so far after 2 years of owning this box is that the corner protectors keep falling off. The sticky tape on the back side won't stick anymore. Other than that, love this box. Need to get a bigger one soon though. Running out of room.
Haha, same here. I'm running out of room.
This is on my Christmas list for myself lol
It's a great tool chest! I'm still trying to organize mine. Lately, I've been looking at some Rockler modular drawer organizers.
@@MarkThomasBuilder I actually saw it in person today at home depot. I liked it so much I went on TH-cam to see if anyone did a review on it. And now here I am
That's awesome! Glad my review could help!
I have been waiting for this review from someone
Great video. Thanks
Very welcome
When he said roll that intro I thought he was about to say Roll Tide 🤣
Haha, nope
I approve of the hat.
😀💯
Love the old North Stars!
Thanks for the review
Hey, what's going on Jacob? Thank you!
Great Review...Im going to purchase this tool box. Did you ever do a video of loading it up with your tools? I cant find it.
I'm about to make that video very soon. I have the tool box organized about 80 percent currently.
Holy fuck I’m in love
We you take apart the big husky tool boxes, Harbor freight dominated with build durability and price though.. no thanks husky. You made a great video still thanks.
I haven't checked out Harbor Freight tool cabinets. I'm curious of their fit and finish as well as price.
What’s the height of the big centre drawer? Wondering how good it would accommodate deep sockets on a socket rack, wondering if it would be comfortably deep enough
The taller drawer, just above the big center drawer is just over 5" which works well for deep socket storage. The big center drawer has approximately 3.75" of clearance.
A sack of that good! N a small bottle of makers mark because drivers make for a stressful day
Makers Mark is good stuff.👍
I had that 268 piece as a gift from my dad, I loved it until the tabs on the side broke off and then I had to dump it into another box
Huh, I haven't had that issue. Sounds like you use yours more often than me.
Keep my weed in the privacy drawer. 😁
Haha, I was wondering if I would get that answer.🤣
Privacy Drawer... I'd hide my damn Twinkies.! Thanks for sharing.
For Christmas 2020 I'll be purchasing the Husky Model #H52CH6TR9HDV3 😁
Ps: Did you ever make another video for After Filling the Drawers?
Sounds like a good plan for the Twinkies, lol! I didn't make that video yet. Funny thing is that I was just putting together some plans just the other day to get back to it.
@@MarkThomasBuilder patiently waiting, thank you look forward to seeing what you've done. God bless thanks again.
Thanks, you too!
I think I am going to do the same thing Big K. :D My dad always put his nice drill bits in his privacy drawer so they wouldn't walk off with me :)
Just bought this. The power strips have 2 cords and the way they are orientated won't allow them to both be plugged into the same outlet. My only complaint with this tool chest.
Yes, it would be nice if they worked off the same cord.
Have you had any issues locking the top lid? I can only lock the drawers if the lid is not closed.
I haven't had any issues. I don't lock mine, but remember testing all the locks initially.
Great review. I am curious what is the dimension of the very top shelf. What's the max height an item can be if you were store and close the lid? Thanks
You can easily look these dimensions up as well
👍👍👏👏👏👏
My top drawers on the same toolbox will not stay closed unless I lock them. Even empty they do this. They do not suck in... less than a year old!
Huh, mine haven't given me any issues. I would suggest contacting Husky and see what they say. If you hear something, let me know please.
Who else keeps a firearm in the privacy drawer? I keep my CZ 97, a few extra mags, a flashlight, a cheap cell phone good enough to make calls, and a knife in mine. What do you keep in yours.
I never thought of getting another cheap, prepaid cell phone for emergency use. Great idea. A little bit of cash might be a good idea too.
I have the 72" bench version and I have one drawer where the soft-close stopped working.
I can' find troubleshooting.
Husky has a troubleshooting phone number that I've used before. I recommend Googling that number and seeing what they say.
Looking for a new box. The privacy draw does it lock with all the other drawers or do you always have to lock it separately?
It locks separately from all the others.
I have an earlier model Husky tool box that the drawers keep sliding open.Can you tell me what to do to fix the problem Its about 15 years old but in good shape otherwise.
I wonder if new drawer guides would help? I recommend giving Husky a call and asking them.
Did you ever out a video showing your tools organized inside? It's been over two years.
That's a good point, Mark. I'm moving many tools into my Milwaukee Packout organizers and that will allow me to display my automotive tools in this tool chest. I will add this back on my to-do list. Thanks for the reminder, I'm excited to get focused on this.
Privacy drawer is for your snacks and drinks
Yep, you don't want those to go missing!😂
Cost ?
It's currently $898 on The Home Depot website.
i spent 848💀
Privacy drawer= 10mm sockets
Haha, 💯!
so. after 5 years, how is your husky chest holding up? this might be a good followup video. ;)
It's holding up well. I need to reorganize it again. Thanks for the suggestion. I may do that.
Isn't there a wooden pull-out table and some LED lights?
Those features appeared on the following year's model. The wood top is a great feature.
I’m wondering what the difference is between the 52 inch husky with 6 casters is vs the 52 husky with the 4 casters they are the same price on Home Depot’s website so idk
I"m not sure. Mine has 4 caster wheels on each corner and 2 stationary wheels in the middle. I like it.
Can you lock the top chest with the lid open?
Great questions, yes you can. I just went out and tried.
That’s great news!!! I can keep my tools safe and put a keurig on top! Thank you so much for the reply!!!
How tall are you? Because im looking for something where i can write on the top
6'3". The top is kinda tall for that. The newer versions have a flip up wood work surface on one of the upper right hand side drawers.
lost the 1 and only key to my privacy drawer and still looking for a replacement key cannot find 1 anywhere.
I thought someone said that Husky doesn't have too many key varieties. You can try calling (800)HD-HUSKY and hopefully they can help.
What is the sale price on this box? It’s $900 right now. When does it go on sale?
That's a good question. I believe it was on sale around Christmas time. Sometimes they run good sales around Memorial Day.
markthomasbuilder I’ll be keeping an eye out
REEF X mr it’s on sale right now for $798.00
dlroto needs to hit $698
If you lock the top does that also lock the privacy door or does it only lock separately?
The privacy drawer has it's own locking key. It's independent of all the other locking items.
I know home depot sells two kinds...is this the heavy duty or industrial?
I believe it's industrial quality. If you compare it against some other priced brands, you'll see the fit and finish is better.
Hubby bought for work and after 3 years the drawer slides broke. Tried to use the warranty and Husky won’t honor it. Said we have to pay for new slides. What a joke! Won’t buy another Husky product again
Sorry to hear that. My slides are still going strong.
How are the drawer slides holding up?
They're doing well. I haven't had to spray them or do any tweaking.
You didn't show the drawer with the wood top that lifts up.
That items was introduced the next year after I got this one. I wish I had it.
Petty 💵 for sure, never know when you might get a good deal on some 🛠 and don’t want to make payments 😂
Boone Automotive 💯💯👍
Michigan guy? East or West Mich?
Middle, lol!
@@MarkThomasBuilder the GVSU in the background and M22 gave it away!
👍😀
Keep a gun or 5 in that privacy drawer
I'm a fan of storing things in Kaizen foam. I bet that world work well for that situation.
Nice jacket lol
Thanks, man! I had to watch the video again to see what I was wearing.
markthomasbuilder it was sarcasm, bc your reviewing a... nvm
Weed. Weed in the privacy drawer
Okay, sounds like a safe place for that.😅
You never returned to show how you organized the new 52 " tool chest
That's right, thanks for the reminder. It's getting there. I hope to install some Kaizan tool foam soon. Plan on seeing the update later this fall.
@@MarkThomasBuilder cant wait to see are you going to show the process of planning out the tools and cutting the foam.
Maybe the foam would work for the case with circular saw and stuff the rolling case? Cant wait..
@@dannyc4419 I'm looking at two different types of foam. One is made to be cut with a palm router and the other is Kaizen, where I can use a knife to cut the layers. Hopefully the video will be out soon.
i need one
I highly recommend it. A friend of mine has been using his for a year now and loves it.
Why is the top hutch too small, why does only overpriced snapon make a tall hutch so I can fit my diagnostic screen
I understand your concern. I wouldn't' mind it being a little taller.
@@MarkThomasBuilder Yeah looks like Snapon has really cornered the mark on that, Somepeople have really dropped the ball in that part of the market. Also if some of them used a thicker gauge of steel that would improve their market share. All they have to do is look what Snapon is doing and improve up to that level. Even if they charged up to a thousand dollars more for their boxes they will still be getting a lot more bigger share of the market because Snapon is well too crazy overpriced.
Lol, oops, I spent 8,000 on a snap on toolbox.
That's some serious dough!💰
@@MarkThomasBuilder My set thus far is like 20k lmao, I have all my primary tools as snap on or matco; now all the less used stuff is going to be more budget friendly stuff. Going to be using them professionally though. Wish I could add pictures to the comments.
Don't buy the bottom separately anymore as if you do you won't be able to get the top chest separately anymore. For whatever reason they will only sell it as a set now so fuck anymore who bought the bottom with plans to buy the top later.
I didn't realize they sold them separately. Thanks for sharing the news.
For what you pay for the Husky toolbox’s the fit and finish is awful. It’s very tippy as I was moving mine it tip over and with the weight of the tools that were in it destroyed all the drawers. I was sick $700+ bucks down the drain.
Sorry to hear that. Mine has held up well so far. If I ever move it, I may take most of the heavy tools out.
Do not buy this tool box. The slides on every single drawer is mounted on tiny rivots. Basically the weight of the drawer is on little tiny rivots. Look for the perforated box design.
The drawers on mine have held up well so far.
So much filler. I guess whatever it takes to get to that 10 minute monetizing mark.
Haha, I try to keep my videos to 8 minutes, but still working on my editing skills.
that box garbage the main drawer slide bearing broke within 6 months twice
Huh, sorry to hear that. A friend of mine has the same one and said it's been working great for a year now. The warranty is 3 years, so hopefully they can get it properly fixed for you.
@@MarkThomasBuilder i gotta fix it my self since im not gonna empty the box out just to ship it n get it repair
I have this box. And it is perfect. I sold my 3 bank back top and bottom because I wanted to downsize. However in about 6 months or even less the big drawer in the bottom box broke. One of the sliders broke., I don't want to replace with the same slider. Can u recommend a heavier weight slider that I can use in this same box. Putting the same slider in will not fix the problem . It should have come with double sliders to begin with I believe.Thanks. If u have an answer please give the company name and the part number. I will continue my search. And also go to h.
usky sight and see what they say
