- Today John from to the garage Shows you how he eliminated the irritating rattle from his.
SGS / U.S.Pro-tool stainless steel 72" tool chest.
Whenever the tool chest is moved or a drawer opened or closed there is a terrible tinnie ringing from these tool boxes. Fortunately, it is very very easy to resolve and in this video, John shows you how to do it with no tools and a couple of thin cable ties.

Legend. Absolute racket mine was making on arrival, thought there was something wrong with it. Bought mine from Homebase, sorted out the cable ties today and the noise is no longer. Cheers
Thank you so much for this, I’ve had one of these for a week and it was driving me insane!
You and me both Russell
I can confirm this rattle is annoying. Here it is the way I fixed it on mine.
Remove at least the 3 top drawers in the middle section so you have some space to see the locking mechanism linkage at the top. You will see a few bolts on this linkage and you also will see how stupidly loose the linkage system is. Use a spanner or a small ratchet and tighten the nuts just enough to stop making the rattle. As you are doing this, you can apply a bit of grease around the bolts/linkage so everything runs even more smooth and no more rattles. Put the drawers back on and call it a job done. No more annoying rattles.
However, I have other issues with this bench that I wish it could be of easy fix like this rattle.
I've just watched your other video on this tool chest as I'm currently eyeing one up glad you also show how to fix the rattle as this would drive me crazy.
No Problem Dean. I had already reached that point🤪
thanks for the video. im looking at getting one of these boxes. well, has it last over the years
I cannot thank you enough for creating this video !!!!!!!!!
Drives you mad doesn't it!
Similar cabinet here in US, same rattling noise was driving me bananas. Just got it a few days ago. Thanks for making this video
Glad it helped
Cracking. Bought this after seeing your review and seeing this simple fix is great.
Glad I could help
Much appreciated! :)
Brilliant, thank you as i needed to remove drawers to move the 55" cabinet up a flight of stairs,manageable once drawers removed, but could not see how to do that.
Glad it helped
Hey mate - in Australia I believe these go by a couple of names. Daytona from Sydney tools and Ultimate from Bunnings.
To stop the noise you can just tighten the 4 nuts that hold the locking mechanism by removing the top middle draw, I did it to mine and it works perfect
Hi Ryan. I will check this out. Thanks very much👍
Thanks for that. I just bought one in Australia and although the brand is different, everything else is the same, including the rattle !! I'll have a go at quietening mine down like this to start with 👍
By the way, the brand I bought is called "Ultimate" and is being sold though "Bunnings" warehouse in Australia
I recon these are sold under more names than Renault vans👍
Great video….just wondering are these US Pro cabinets any good? Thinking of purchasing one but had just seen a terrible review of a SGS version, put me off a little, any horror stories or recommendations from anyone? Thanks
My 72" Will arrive Tomorrow :)
Excellent video. I have 2 questions for you , what about fitting a vice to the bench would it be able to tighten up with the wood compressing and what do you use in the top draw to organise your mole grips please? Think it is different to your answer further below? Thanks in advance.
Hi Andrew. Sorry misinterpreted the question. They are actually screwdriver clip rails like the link here
amzn.to/2VZm1TE
I have not screwed them down the are really handy to hold all sorts of tools in place.
Yes the worktop is they tough so attaching a vice is very possible and I will be doing so there soon.
Not a fan of using grease on the runners as it can attract dust and crud over time. I have currently a different make but with the same closing system. If you take a drawer out and look at the back I am sure you will see a plastic or neoprene bush that the drawer clips into to hold it. I put some silicone grease on that and it eased the opening and closing greatly. Just waiting for the 55'' versio of this box to arrive.
Top tip Steve👍 Good luck with your new box
I bought the same one in South Africa, under the brand name Stallion, I guess they all made in the same factory in China and shipped all over the whole using different names.
Yes I have seen at least 3 other brands that are plainly the same design and build bar the badges
Love the title too. My initial thought was to let my wife out so she can make a cuppa! 😂
😁
two good videos you've posted for this :) - i've been eyeing one up myself recently with the main purpose to be a new location to put my metal lathe on - any ideas on what weight the worktop will take - would it take the weight of a 170KG metal lathe do you think? - cheers :)
Hi Gary. I don't know for certain in that I have not seen a safe working load on it, but my instinct is that it won't even notice the weight. The work top is thick and solid. The body is robust and although I would predict the castors as the weakest element, They are mighty heavily built. I think as long as you are not moving it from one side of your workshop to the other every day over a roughcast concrete surface, then it would be fine.
170Kg sounds quite heavy for a hobby lathe?
If its a reasonable size then I would just check out that the working height is not too high for comfortable operation?
@@ToTheGarage Many thanks for the detailed reply :) - the 72" is now on Black Friday deal at SGS, and they are linking to your un boxing video on best way to install the castors (check there Q&A page)
I have been looking at getting one but still but still not sure due to the depth of the draws , do u know if there bringing out any new addition toolbox’s that would rival Snap-on designs in draw depths and usages. Cheers
Stephen Warman Hi
Sorry not got any intel or insight on this. They do have a really big range of tool cabinets boxes and benches on their website. But I don’t know anything beyond this. Happy researching though Stephen.
I think I'd prefer the rattle than seeing cable ties on show. I'd put some insulation tape on the metal tabs to dull the sound.
Australian Version is called Ultimate Storage 72" from Bunnings :)
Excellent intel. Thanks Matthew.
@@ToTheGarage The Ultimate branded version is also available from Homebase in the UK.
You could also use heat shrink.
good idea
Just bought same hour ago 😃
Hi I am thinking of purchasing one of these tool boxes. Is there anything that holds the drawers closed when unlocked, nothing worse than drawers that open on their own
Yes but its not particularly strong.The drawers slide without resistance to the nearly shut position and then you have to push them to achieve full closure for the last 8mm. If you have heavily filled drawers and then push it around on rough concrete without using the key to lock it, then drawers will pop open. I Know cos it happened😁. The value for money based on price and robustness is very hard to ignore though.
How’s this box getting on after all this time? Not in the trade anymore and just damaged my snap on box. with the insurance money I’m considering something like this instead since it’s now only for home use.
Still no further issues beyond the now fixed rattle on mine Ben.
Drawer action will feel really stiff compared to a new snap on though so defo see if you can go play with one if that worries you 👍
Genius
You are too kind🤗
1:00 *You and I have different definitions of "**0:53** pretty straight forward"* that's at least a level 6 puzzle without the instructions.
🤣 Fair comment. Its all to do with how you view a challenge. I think they are exciting!. But then again im not normal🤫
Hi, what are the red tool orgsnisers your using in the top drawer.
hi Timotayv6 I have Sealy tool racks

And some no name socket organisers

Hop that helps
Hey, just found your video. Are you still happy with the toll chest? I'm eyeing one.
Yes I am! That rattle has been the only fault and its so robust I still struggle to understand why its prices so reasonably. I don't doubt the more expensive brands in the main have something extra to offer. But not and extra £1000 worth
@@ToTheGarage Thanks for your reply. I ordered mine this morning. Can't wait to see it...
Hi John. Is that fridge magnet on your stainless box ?????
Yes, it is. (well spotted)
Its Ferritic stainless steel.
These same tool chests are ofen used by chefs in Kitchen environments as well, and Ferritic stainless is food safe as it doesn't contain Nickel. Its not as resistant to corrosion as the non magnetic variants but significantly more resistan than coated steel sheet.
hope that helps
Cheers Adam
Do you strongly recommend this mate
From a strength looks and value point of view. Absolutely.
Only the drawer action shows it to be lower cost alternative in my opinion, and soft close and gliding shut is not high on my list of priorities
@@ToTheGarage yeah some ass master has stolen my snap on 76 inch roll cab so I’m not going to be buying 5.4K worth of box again man ! I just hope it’s up too the job ! What’s the workbench like is it solid and good mate
You need to delete this video and make the owner of this chest company pay you to make it correct..
John, you know there are doctors that can help with that OCD...you could join one of those clinical trials. ;o)
Im unfathomable. An enigma. An anathema to the world of science and psychology. (And many other words that I struggle to spell😁)
@@ToTheGarage That's what makes you so good at what you do, buddy. Here's to hoping you don't get the treatment you so richly deserve.
This cannot be real 😂
Toss up between this or the 1845 Sealey. I think I know what piece of crap I'm not buying!
