Hey guys! I have this 52 inch 9drawer husky tool box. Its a great box but I have one problem. The drawers don’t stick out all the way so its really hard to grab the sockets in the back for example. I am wondering if this has bothered anyone before and have done anything about it. Thanks.

Looking for a "half" toolbox to imstall in my workvan. Found this pic somewhere. Any ideas.who makes this?

Hey all, so I've been looking for a small but portable tool set to bring with me on the road since I'm finally going to start venturing out to race tracks that are more than a couple of hours away. I ended up going with a 243 piece set from GearWrench and much to my surprise...they quality is trash. I haven't even opened the kit yet so I have no idea how the tools are but my concern is the box. The door flap that holds the three drawers of tools was completely torn off making the box more or less unusable without taping it shut lol.

I ended up submitting a warranty claim and much to my surprise they just sent me a whole new set since they do not sell the boxes/cases separately. I finally got around to opening it and while the door is intact...the actual side piece that the door holds onto has completely popped off. It's held in place by a few rivets however, the plastic that secure the rivets is cracked and so now I am stuck with two tool sets and no useable box. Super disappointing as I was under the impression that Gearwrench is a great brand but it sounds like they are no better than Harbor freight but 4x the cost and seems like even worse quality control.

I plan to just make one of wood that I can just slide the drawers into. Anyone else make anything? Would love some inspiration. Or perhaps some of you were able to just find a nice replacement case to store everything.

Seeing as my toolbox (48"wide x 60" tall x 18" deep) is probably 1000lbs loaded up. I'd hate for someone grabbing a tool to open like 4 drawers and have it tip over.

How do you guys secure you larger toolboxes to the wall to reduce risk of tip over?

I'm restoring this old toolbox of my family and I have a couple of questions. I stripped all of the paint off the drawers (don’t come at me for stripping the original paint plz) and sanded it to remove all rust. I at this time prepping the surface with 80 grit on the orbital. Now I heard a lot of different opinions about which type of primer to use for bare metal. I'm stuck between using either a 2k epoxy primer (since it seals the metal from moisture) or the usual rust oleum. But even for the rust oleum, there are so many different types/options (Self-etching, filler, sealer). So yeah any advice would be appreciated on either which one I should use but also the order of them if I use different types…

Much appreciated in advance

i have a 290 piece mechanics tool set from husky and was wondering if there was a good replacement toolbox out there for all the sockets to make it easier to carry

I have a storage closet in a shared garage. Due to moisture I keep most my tools upstairs in the apartment. I’m always fixing something on my jeep. I have abt three toolboxes upstairs that I would like to consolidate. Along with organizing nuts, bolts, auto junk, etc.

I’m looking at a few rolling carts on Amazon ~200, or the U.S. GENERAL 27 in. x 22 in. Roll Cab 400.

My thought is the non top opening type and not a double stack- more like a cart.

Should I cheap out or do the Harbor Freight route for now? My thought is in a year (assuming we move and I have my own garage) I can get the top or the other parts/pieces. I’m also not sure on how deep the drawers should be.

I’m reading a few different ways to stop moisture problems. My chrome stuff is holding up fine. Most of my rust is on pliers which I keep in a tool bag in the back of my jeep I neglect.

Any advice would be appreciated.

BIIIIIIG QUESTION, I’m getting a new 26” tool chest to replace an old craftsman with busted drawers. However I wanna use that one at work givin there isn’t a lot in it and it just takes up space. But I have 3 pry bars and a ratchet that are too big for the box and I don’t like laying them diagonally, I don’t wanna cut the usability of a drawer. Any external storage ideas or “crafts” would be greatly appreciated.

Cannot for the life of me find a 72-in riser to go on top of my 72-in triple bank toolbox. As a slightly taller human, I find myself leaning on the top of the box when I'm using the computer and it strains my back immensely. Would like to raise the top 6 to 8 in that way. I'm not leaning over so far. Have not been able to find a serviceable riser to do so. Husky has a riser hutch combo but it's only 62 in unfortunately and I really don't want the hutch. I would rather just have the riser any insight?

Help please I have this husky tool chest with the wheels that lock I installed everything and installed the handle instead on the right side I did it on the left. I also did the locking wheels on the left as well....but when I go to lock them they don't lock no matter how hard I push down or anything. It shouldn't be this hard. Is it because the wheels are not on the right? The picture on the website show the right but figured since I can do the handle why not the wheels?Please Help

Hopefully this is the right kind of place to ask this.

My work was getting rid of these old gear lockers on account of the middle locker having to be broken into when someone forgot their combination. The two on the outside still operate and the unit could be taken apart and used as three individual lockers. They are 6 feet tall, 1.5 feet wide, 2ft long, and I’m looking to somehow reinforce the thin metal so that it can withstand The light abuse toolboxes may undergo being on my truck holding various tools such as chainsaw, jack, jack stands, spare parts, socket sets, hand tools, etc. I’m considering reinforcing it with fiberglass and resin could harden it up? I’m also considering tack welding on some expanded steel grates, or even putting some angle iron braces on all the corners/edges and having some crossmembers along the flat surfaces. There are some bolt holes on the sides where they are held together, I may patch those from the inside with a piece of sheet metal and some steel reinforced epoxy. The paint matches the color of my truck pretty well, so if there is a way to reinforce it from the inside, that would also be pretty cool so I don’t have to repaint them.

I just picked up a weather guard pack rat on marketplace and I have some questions about how to “rebuild” it. The drawer is very difficult to open and close even when it is empty. I oiled the rollers which admittedly are in quite poor condition but do seem to turn freely enough to open and close the empty drawer. The holder for one of them rusted away so it is only resting on the outer two. There are four ball bearings on the back of the drawer that face the back of the cabinet but there is nothing for them to roll on. I feel like it is missing slides or rollers somewhere but I am just not familiar enough with these to know what it is missing. Any input is appreciated. I will add more relevant pictures tomorrow.

At $600, is this worth my time? Is this easily fixable with off the shelf drawer slides or will this end up being a pain in my butt?

The toolbox I’ve used for the last 4 years is the black one on the floor.

Has anyone ever order from these guys? The products seem simple enough with multiple color options and the price isn’t high as like Toolbox Widget. I made little list to cover my ratchets, screw drivers and pliers would be about $75 + shipping.

Hello everyone, I go around repairing medical equipment and I spend my time travelling with the tools on the bike and sometimes I need to fly as well. I carry mostly hand tools (screwdriver sets, adjustable wrench, socket sets, bit sets, allen and torx keys, portable soldering irons and accessories, pliers, 2 multimeters, component testers, mobile thermal cameras). since i travel on bike mostly, it's not practical to carry a pelican case as I put them in my large rucksack but I have issues when flying because I have to carry a laptop as well so I have to carry a small backpack along with it. I am looking for some case that would fit in my backpack but be rugged enough so that I can leave it as a luggage in the airplane. Any suggestions that you would like to give me? i have attached my setup here but they do not fit all of my tools and I need a bigger pack.

Top box was a stainless craftsman I bought several years ago and couldn’t find anything stainless big enough to set it on. It took some looking to find anything at least 2 foot deep. I looked at a couple used Mac and snap ons that would work but never could make a deal. The bottom box is a husky work bench that I just left the peg board off of. I can’t tell any difference in the drawer handles when I’m using it. After the top box was painted I think it matches pretty good. I also had to paint the handles to make them look good.

Hey guys I have a snap on classic 55inch kcp 1422 and id love to put a hutch on it but im not paying the 5k for top and hutch from snap on. Anyone used Icon or U.S general, my fear with the U.S general is that it doesn't seem deep enough for my laptop and doing paper work.
