Harbor Freight $99.00 tool box

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Harbor Freight $99.00 tool box

Posted: 4/12/2013 3:26:20 PM EDT

I need another tool box to hold gun gear. I received a flier from HF. So...$132.00 later, I have a toolbox and other stuff. Except for a spot where the paint ran in the top tray, this is as good as any Craftsman I've seen in recent years...

Nice looking tool box. I was at HF two nights ago, and the best thing I bought is a "Japanese saw" that is actually made in japan. Also bought one of their small animal traps...its so flimsy a squirrel would chew right through it.

I have the same one but red. It's great for what I need it for.

Actually I have this model

I think I got it for 160 with some coupon.

Buy the 5 drawer red box. I have 2 of them and they are awesome.

Great boxes. Even greater boxes for the price.

Does your door mat say "Come back with a warrant"

For the 99 buck sale they are fantastic boxes. I have 3 of them

1 has about 600 pounds of steel in it. Drawers and wheels working fine after 2 years of usage.

They make great "specific" usage storage. I sorted out certain tools to go in 1 just to have all the similar items together. Looking to get a couple more.

You talking about one of those pull saws? I actually want one of those. Pulling to cut just makes more sense than pushing.

Why yes. Yes it does, officer...

This one?...

Normally I approach anything from Harbor Freight with a bit of caution, but I might have to check that out.

I like the looks of the red 5 drawer cart.

Some good ideas:
Modifications to the HF 4 and 5 drawer service carts - what changes have you made?

I have two of those roll carts and a bunch of other of those Harbor Freight tool boxes. That are bad ass. The best deal there is on tool boxes.

Even at $129.00 if you can find a 20% off coupon, its a great deal. The coupons are in any manly man magazine...

Since it's black OP, I assume it's the dreaded "Assault Tool Box" model?

Illegal in Kalifornistan I'm sure.

Like the floor mat illustrates. "COME BACK WITH A WARRANT"....

Interesting.

Which drawer has the mayo and pickles?

I have the same thing. I refer to it as a tool cart. It is useful. I wish there was room for taller handles in the drop through screwdriver storage areas.

Amen, they beat the feel and quality of most of the much more expensive stuff in the big box stores. Those red tool boxes are a steal. I have the 5 drawer and the 6 (i think) drawer box with additional tool box used in my metal shop and I have no regrets at all.

I have two US General boxes (well one is the similar cart to the one you just picked up), the other is the 13 drawer roll away one. They are pretty awesome, nice drawers, equal to or better quality than the Craftsman ones. And the ones from HF even come with drawer liners!

Very happy with mine. And I do have a Craftsman 13 drawer (ball bearing). It's nice, but if I had known the ones from HF were any good I would have bought that instead.
