This is what I was looking for. Thise comparison reviews were 7 years ago. Thank you very much. Fir everybody looking fir the Huaky Homedepot has it fir sale with free delivery for $298 plus tax. I got one and hopefully somebody can take advantage of this deal of $100 off. I just notice you got the 24" deep one and the one I am getting is the 18" deep.
Thanks! I am glad you liked my video and that it helped inform you in some way. My barber actually bought a bunch of the Yukon boxes for his shop and they work really well for him, so probably wouldn't go wrong either way, but I do like the Husky one more personally.
Although since the release of this video, the prices of these Husky boxes have shot up through the roof. Now it's back to a toss up in terms of value, lol. And I think Harbor Freight is releasing a new generation of their Yukon boxes, so they probably will be adding in some of the Husky features. So stay tuned for that...
@@TalkingHands308 Thanks for the tip about HF coming out with a newer version soon. Today as part of a "sale" the HD Husky boxes are 448, any color. I can wait until HF starts selling their newest to see how it will compare.
@@chestrockwell8328 Before the regular price of this Husky toolbox was $440 and they would go on sale anywhere from $350 - $400. Back then at those prices and what this box has to offer over the Yukon equivalent it was a no brainer for me which one was more worth the money. Now we'll have to see what HF comes out with and at what price point to see if that's still the case.
Although just another update since this video was made, the prices of the Husky boxes have increased quite a bit. I would still recommend them over the Yukon because for me quality is more important than saving a few dollars, but supposedly HF will be releasing a new generation of Yukon boxes that might have some upgraded features, so depending on if they make the improvements they need to the tables might turn!
@@TalkingHands308 Yeah, the prices went up.... I went to Home Depot today, checked them out and really lied 52 inch one, 10 drawer. WIll probably get it. Thanks for the review again! I almost got Yukon but then decided to check youtube for more recent reviews and found your video!
Very good video with a fair and honest comparison. One of the most complained about aspects of the Yukon tool cabinets are the casters. Customers said they neither roll nor turn well. That's a red flag for me if I have 5- or 600 lbs of tools I'm trying to maneuver in my shop. Others said that the drawers would open on their own while moving the cabinet. For those two reasons alone, I decided against the Yukon cabinet/work bench.
Oh, I didn't even think about that aspect about the drawers opening on their own. The Husky's "soft close" mechanism does a really good job at keeping the drawers all the way closed.
This is literally a response to all of the other videos comparing these exact two boxes, I'm simply doing an updated one since changes has been made since those other videos were made. And just read the other comments, other people have been deciding between these two and my video has helped them decide between them. Did I claim these two cost the same or have the exact same specs? I literally go over their differences, including those aspects. 🤷♂️
There are a million and 1 videos on youtube comparing these two models against each other. I made this video because since those videos were made there has been a lot of changes in their features and construction. I still see many new comments on those old videos where it seems people are making a purchasing decision based on the information given from those old outdated videos. That's why I made this one so people know the information in those videos is no longer valid even though apparently youtube's algorithm is still recommending them to viewers now. I made it very clear that there's a price difference between the two.
I appreciated the update on this particular work bench comparison! I am a total "numbers" person - so my question is - does anyone know the gauge thickness of these, to add to the comparison info? I've not been able to find specs on these, but with other benches, it seems the frame is a lower (thicker) grade, than is the main cabinet, which makes sense. But I cannot find anything, either in frame or cabinet specs, on either. Thanks for any info!
Thanks for this updated version of the Husky. I was sold on the Yukon due to the older comparisons but since Husky upgraded and the 24" depth vs 18" makes it a no brainer.
Yes, especially if you can catch a good sale in Home Depot you can sometimes get this toolbox for the same price as the Yukon. Then it's REALLY a no brainer!
Also, that vise looks like the same one I have. HF 4" looks like you have it mounted right to the edge which is great. Know there is a metal strip for the key tumbler beneath you must miss.
The vise I have is actually made by Irwin. And I positioned it so that I can rotate it and the handle to open and close the jaw doesn't ever hit the edge of the workbench. 😀
@@TalkingHands308 Looks great. Want to mount mine as close to the edge as I can. The price has increased on these boxes from the times of review. $498 now for a black and chrome handle one.
@@34dawgsgo Yep, the prices keep going up. Supposedly Harbor Freight is going to update their Yukon workbench. Wonder if they'll be making it bigger to match Home Depot's and improving the drawer slides...
Thanks for doing the updated video You're right the old ones outdated Huskies are much better deal now but the prices have gone up about 50 to $75 from what you have been listed The Huskies about 449 for the black with chrome handles and the oil I don't even see the all black listed but the blue ones over 500
Ugh, yes, I made the comment with another viewer about this too, the prices have gone way up. I still would prefer this over the Yukon box because I prefer to have better quality and features even if it costs more. But supposedly Harbour Freight is coming out with a new version of the Yukon box, so perhaps they will follow Home Depot and add the features they were missing and make the box larger to match the capacity? If so and it costs less, then maybe it'll turn the tide and the HF one would be more worth the money.
Great video! I just ordered the 52" Husky as my first real toolbox now that I have the room for it, and I then got discouraged when I saw the video comparing Husky to Yukon. Your comparison was really clear, updated to the latest models and pricing, and it focused on real world usage and not so much on details like what kinds of fasteners they use. I got the pegboard accessory from Husky which should be really cool. Looking forward to setting up my workshop.
I have had this one for a few months and I will share my thoughts. I like the box overall and it is doing its job of holding my tools. Now that being said I have mechinic tools inside it and the top drawer is the only spot for sockets and as a mechanic you need a lot of sockets. I wish they would have used 4 sliders for the top drawer like the bottom 2. The top drawer is starting to feel “ unhappy “ and is getting rough even though I greased the rails. I have to also say that I have only had this box in my apartment since I purchased it while I am working at another job as I build up my tools for the day I eventually get back into turning wrenches and as such it’s not getting used as it would in a working environment and within the first few days the wood top has warped. I feel like it’s okay but not great. Also there are 3 different sized drawers , the ones above the very bottom drawers are slightly taller than the next ones above them. Overall once again a budget friendly box but I would have to say that this is not a good buy for a mechanic in that the obvious place to put your sockets is the weakest thing about this box. They really would have had a home run with this one and would have been a really good upgrade over a tool cart having a good sized work surface and plenty of room for tools but room that cannot be utilized is mute.
Thanks for your input. However I'm unsure of which box you're talking about since this video is comparing two different ones. But I'll have to say that regardless of which one you're talking about, neither the Yukon nor the Husky advertises themselves as "heavy duty" tool boxes. I do agree that it would be nice if the top drawer for them to have the extra slides, but they both tell you right from the jump that these are not heavy duty and that the drawer has a weight capacity of 100lbs. I used to be a mechanic and have another toolbox in my garage with all of my mechanic tools. I know all of those impact sockets all together would most likely weigh way more than 100lbs. I haven't weighed them, but I'm guessing, or it comes very very close. Either way, yah, I wouldn't recommend EITHER of these for that kind of use. And regarding the wood top, I don't see how either of these toolboxes could possible have a warping wood top. BOTH of these the wood tops are ATTACHED to the box, as in they literally cannot warp. Are you sure you have one of these? I know the older Husky wood top was not attached and only sat on top and those can definitely warp, but these current ones I've never seen that happen. I live in South Florida where it's humid as heck and I know people with this Husky workbench in their garage, and the woodtop hasn't warped since it's permanently attached to the box itself... So I'm unsure as to what to make of that.
For example, Home Depot has the "Heavy Duty" mobile workbenches that have the 4 drawer slides on the top drawer: www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-Heavy-Duty-61-in-W-x-23-in-D-15-Drawer-Mobile-Workbench-with-Solid-Wood-Top-H61MWC15HP-C/314128004
Have you considered buying drawer slides and attaching them to the drawer? Like this one for example? www.amazon.com/dp/B08BHPCJ9Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apan_glt_i_ZTWZ5931TQNW32D3QA04 Just make sure NOT to get another soft-closing slide, they won't work right together.
I have the husky 46, the wood top is screwed down. I happen to check how it was attached after I noticed the warping and am reluctant to tighten it up out of fear it may crack or split.
@@kevinlopota3626 huh, I've never seen the new ones warp. But I think you should be able to try to bolt the corners down, or just replace the entire wood top with sanded plywood, haha.
Great video. Your audio is pretty low. I've been looking at these reviews and I am swayed to go to with the Husky. The depth of the drawers does it for me. I did notice on the HD website there are two identical 46" chest but only 1 has the soft close drawers which I now want after seeing yours. The other says "secure latch drawers" in the description. BTW the Huskys are $478 now :-( Thanks for the review.
Yet there are tons of other videos comparing these exact two cabinets. I'm simply updating on them because they still contain very outdated information and I still see recent comments on those videos from people making purchasing decisions based on those videos. Seems like there are plenty of people who are deciding between these two, take it up with them. 🤷♂️ And besides, isn't that the whole point of Harbor Freight? Cheaper versions of the tools and accessories you find elsewhere? If the prices weren't different, then kind of defeats the point of going to Harbor Freight doesn't it? 🤔
I got a 25 percent discount coupon on the Yukon so I can buy it for $315. The guy at Home Depot said he would take 50 dollars off which makes the Husky $399. Not sure which one to get. I would save 84 dollars if I got the Yukon.
I guess it depends on what you think that $84 is worth. The Yukon is a smaller toolbox, so if your space is smaller that might be good. But if you don't mind a toolbox that is bigger, you'll get almost twice the storage capacity with the Husky, an integrated power strip, and soft close drawers. So if you can do without those features and don't mind a smaller workbench, and also drawer slides that might not be as smooth as the Husky's (but YMMV there), then go with the Yukon. But if you feel like it's worth the $84 dollars to get almost double the capacity and those other features, then go with the Husky.
@@TalkingHands308 the issue with me is that this chest up until this month always cost $348. Out of the blue, it costs $449. I think I'll wait for a sale or something.
@@charlesl8162 Yep, definitely. Father's Day is next month, they might have a sale then, or if not, Memorial Day is right after. You can also sometimes get a manager to give you the sale price on an in-stock item if you convince then that is the only way you will purchase it, unless they aren't that desperate to move it or anything, lol. Edit: Although I'm looking at a price history for it and it looks like $398 was the lowest it got this year? Or maybe this price history thing isn't accurate...
@@TalkingHands308 its probably accurate. On Honey's 30 day price history it was $348 in April. But there is a youtube review posted 2 months ago where the reviewer said he just paid $348 for it. Comments in other reviews say they paid $348 as well.
Thanks for the video on this. I was looking at the older videos also at first. Then I dug a little deeper and noticed that the 24" wasn't the one they were talking about. At least in the videos I watched. I'm leaning towards the Husky right now. The extra drawer depth and the top being screwed on now makes a difference to me. Also if you're a vet, you can get another 10% off the price. Harbor Freight doesn't offer that. And you can get delivery form Home Depot also if you don't want to mess it yourself.
It doesn't say on the workbench itself, at least not that I could see, so it's obviously not made in the USA, otherwise you would know, haha. Looking at their website I've seen someone say they are made in both Thailand and China.
And yes, the music is awesome. She has a small youtube channel, but she does covers of popular songs, movie music, and also her own music that you can use copywrite free. Check out her channel, link is in the description!
Thank you for this! You reviewed the all black $450 vs chrome handle $430 model… are you sure the handles are the only difference? I have been on the fence waiting for these to go on sale again… still debating.
Yes, the only difference is the color scheme. The Home Depot website is kind of weird, sometimes it shows this color scheme as just one of the colors under that model, and sometimes it shows it as a separate product, but I've compared them and they are identical other than the color scheme.
I recently bought the Husky (had a coupon that made it slightly cheaper than the Yukon, no brainer). I noticed you have a vice mounted to the work top. How did you do that and has it worked well for you? I'm planning on mounting a bike work stand in a similar fashion.
Hey, I just drilled straight through the top and the metal underneath it and put bolts through. The metal is pretty thin so it wasn't too hard to do, just had to start with a smaller hole first. It works pretty well.
I'm curious about the criticism from Real Tool Reviews about the fasteners used to attach the casters to the box itself. RTR said that Husky used "a thin piece of sheet metal" while the Yukon used rib nuts (and larger bolts). Have you seen anything in your research about that?
I haven't looked into that because I don't move mine around, so it's not really a priority for me at least. But I wouldn't be surprised if they cut corners in spots where people might not notice like the casters...
There is also the CA Prop 65 warning on the Yukon chests- lead and "DEHP" exposure- present with the Yukon cabinet, and not present with the husky cabinet. That said, Husky could be hiding that, while Yukon would be the ore ethical company by being clear about the risk of it's products.
Honestly I wouldn't worry about any of that. According to CA, everything causes cancer. I've literally seen that "warning" on pretty much everything. We're not eating the toolboxes, you'll be fine, lol. 😂
I agree, which is why I went with the Husky and do not regret it at all. I do see a benefit to the yukon in that sometimes the smaller depth could actually be beneficial if you have a small work space though.
Why would you compare on a floor model that has been knocked around, open and closed so many times, kids playing on them. Not a fair comparison. You didn't go to Home Depot and try the Husky box out before you bought.
This is what I was looking for. Thise comparison reviews were 7 years ago. Thank you very much. Fir everybody looking fir the Huaky Homedepot has it fir sale with free delivery for $298 plus tax.

Thanks!
I bought both. September 2023. The husky is far superior mainly due to the uprgarded drawer rollers. They improved the box compared to older videos.
Thanks for the comment! I definitely agree that the drawers on the Husky feel much higher quality when compared to the Yukon.

And yes, the music is awesome. She has a small youtube channel, but she does covers of popular songs, movie music, and also her own music that you can use copywrite free. Check out her channel, link is in the description!
Thank you for this! You reviewed the all black $450 vs chrome handle $430 model… are you sure the handles are the only difference?
I have been on the fence waiting for these to go on sale again… still debating.
Yes, the only difference is the color scheme. The Home Depot website is kind of weird, sometimes it shows this color scheme as just one of the colors under that model, and sometimes it shows it as a separate product, but I've compared them and they are identical other than the color scheme.
I recently bought the Husky (had a coupon that made it slightly cheaper than the Yukon, no brainer). I noticed you have a vice mounted to the work top. How did you do that and has it worked well for you? I'm planning on mounting a bike work stand in a similar fashion.
Hey, I just drilled straight through the top and the metal underneath it and put bolts through. The metal is pretty thin so it wasn't too hard to do, just had to start with a smaller hole first. It works pretty well.
@@TalkingHands308 good to hear. Thanks!
I'm curious about the criticism from Real Tool Reviews about the fasteners used to attach the casters to the box itself. RTR said that Husky used "a thin piece of sheet metal" while the Yukon used rib nuts (and larger bolts). Have you seen anything in your research about that?
I haven't looked into that because I don't move mine around, so it's not really a priority for me at least. But I wouldn't be surprised if they cut corners in spots where people might not notice like the casters...
There is also the CA Prop 65 warning on the Yukon chests- lead and "DEHP" exposure- present with the Yukon cabinet, and not present with the husky cabinet. That said, Husky could be hiding that, while Yukon would be the ore ethical company by being clear about the risk of it's products.
Honestly I wouldn't worry about any of that. According to CA, everything causes cancer. I've literally seen that "warning" on pretty much everything. We're not eating the toolboxes, you'll be fine, lol. 😂
You can't really tell how the draw operates until there is some weight in it.
Might be true to some extent, but the Husky was smooth while empty as well...
Husky is worth the extra $ by far ...was not impressed with Yukon. If you're going to get one ...do it right HUSKY
I agree, which is why I went with the Husky and do not regret it at all. I do see a benefit to the yukon in that sometimes the smaller depth could actually be beneficial if you have a small work space though.
If you're gonna do it right, do snap on
Snap on = $$$$$$
Why would you compare on a floor model that has been knocked around, open and closed so many times, kids playing on them. Not a fair comparison. You didn't go to Home Depot and try the Husky box out before you bought.
So, you don't think I went to Home Depot to try the Husky box before I spent hundreds of dollars to buy mine? 🤔🤔🤔
