Just got this exact box. I noticed that the plastic drawer lock sliders (whatever you call them) come out very easily (with the push of a little clip at the end on your right hand side). The drawers still stay close fairly well with the neodymium magnets at the back. Because of the drawer lock, I see no need for the lock sliders. Just my unput. Thanks for sharing
You could add a 1/8" ( or thicker depending how tall the screws are) foam sheet and counter sink a few holes to level out the top opening to deal with the rivets while not losing substantial depth
I have the exact same box, color and everything. One of the things I noticed is that on the drawers there’s a latch that slides left to open them. If you look under them on the right side there is a tab you can push in and then pull that plastic piece out, and it will function normally without having to slide that latch to the left. The drawers will still lock
I have bought multiple boxes from HF a good percentage come dented but the quality is really good for the $$. One of the first things I do it spray the bearing slides thoroughly with silicone or WD40 in all the surfaces and bearings too and bottom and then pull drawer out and in a couple times. That makes all the drawers operate waaaay easier…. They were stiff before I do it. In time they prob will Loosen up naturally but it’s nice to help right from the start
All of us at the shop use the orilys foam magnet pads on tge inside of the lid . Then all your wrenchs are hanging on the lid in hands reach and youve got another drawer.. we also use the magnetic pads to hold our loose tools in place like drivers , ratchets, exstions . I tend to keep a hand full of exstions, picks, razors, on the inside of my lid
HF sells a 2 spray can/screwdriver magnetic holder, a smaller magnetic side tray/screwdriver holder, a magnetic latex-type glove box holder and a magnetic paper towel holder. They also sell a magnetic electrical outlet strip as well. All of these items are available in matching toolbox colors.
I have been using the same box since they came out, and love it. I also mounted the side tray on my box. If you put a magnet on the side of the tool box where the botton of the tray rests when folded down it will stay solid against the box. This way it won't flop around when moving the box. Making it quieter and safer since it won't hit anything. I just took apart one of the harbor freight magnet trays and use a magnet out of that.
Add foam like you used on the top of the last cart in the wells to keep tools from falling thru. A piece of mdf on the top socket area under the matt is a good way to level and allows mounting stuff to it.
Just made the same switch. There are some things I miss about the old box, same as you, but overall the extra space is great. I combined two boxes into this one and have mine almost full now. Love the four way casters!
I have the same one in black and love it. Only issue i have with mine is that all of my battery chargers for my electric tools take up way too much space. I love the idea for the use of rivnuts so i just might secure them all to the side of my cart
I have the same full bank cart in red and love it. I even did the same thing with the side tray on mine. The only difference is all of my can holders and other attachments are magnetic so I didn't have to drill holes for those and they actually fit between the rubber bumpers. I to was also irritated with that lip in the back on the top, but it really hasn't been an issue so far. I put rubber gromets in the holes on the sides to make them a little more user friendly so things didn't fall through. I've had this cart for about 4 months and still tinker with it to get it the way that I want it, with that said I love it and glad that I have it. Great video boss, appreciate your time.
Same here. No need to drill the bottom holes for the shelf. Just use the top 2 bolts. You will never put enough force to rip them out before that small shelf is destroyed. I'll be honest I kinda think HF knew this and after all techs should figure it out.
I added the side tray from 30 inch box too, but I used the 34” side handle as a template to mark the 4 new holes to drill in the shelf. That way I can bolt on the shelf in the factory holes on the other side of the box. Worked perfectly! Nice work on your box. I love mine!
@@ALEX-xd7koI also found the same thing…looks like Harbor Freight updated the last generation of the side tray because now it shows both the 5 drawer and this full bank cart on the box as being “designed to work with”.
US General has a lot of magnetic attachments for the side of the box .... Cup holder, hook, power/air tool holder, power strip with metal housing and USB ports, paper towel holder, spray can/screwdriver holder. You can also buy and also foldable side trays for 4 drawer or 5 drawer carts.
Those bolts in the top on that rear lip - you could probably just pull them out and dab a few spots of glue to hold it in place. Or just pull them out doubt it would affect anything
I got the the purple full bank cart. I absolutely love it. Video is up if your interested in seeing it. I like that small cart. Might get one of those too.
Another idea to mounting your tray would have been take the handle off the other side, put it on the back of the tray, mark the holes, drill the tools in the tray, and then mount it on the side with the pre-drilled holes where you're not using the handle.
I have this box, like it but I don't like the plastic slide locks on the drawers, any ideas on how to get some magnets on the back of the drawers to keep them closed?
@@PoorManMods Man I love it you were right. Just couldnt be happier with how it feels, so nice to see all my tools way more space then the little brother cart. When you invest your hard earned money in tools it feels great to see them neatly put away and protected.
I bought the black one. I love it. The in store model had different cheaper wheels than the ones it came w which was weird ;). Really they could have saved $ using less metal on the sides by keeping things open like their other carts that are pass through. Although one benefit could be future mating surface for end boxes but really you'd still have that issue of getting things stuck. All these people add stuff on sides but I'd strongly suggest keeping things flat/minimal otherwise what's the point of the bumper guards? Still for $600 I give it 5 stars. My own personal way their are 4 holes on each side for the push bar. I matched the already drilled and screwed holes to the plate on the flip table top and drilled holes into that instead of the toolbox. Really I just wanted to make it appear like it came that way. I like what one user did which was to buy a cheap cutting board cut it to size and drill w.e size holes you needed for you breaker bars/ratchets extensions etc. To summarize I'd definitely recommend anyone to buy this box. $600 vs any of the other tool trucks carts. Good luck finding a full bank cart on sale for anything less than a grand.. W all of harbor freight deals and discounts you could prob find it for even less.
Great review ! I bought the green version for 499.00 at their most recent sale and will pick it up this weekend. I needed to know what kind of box or crate it was in or on so thanks for including that info.
Great budget cart. I knew it would all fit cause you don't really have very many tools. Can def tell your a diy guy. I have the 44in top and bottom us gen. Boxes for home. I've been a dealership tech for 21 yrs. I use the snap on epiq series box and cart at work. Just a little advise, those are tool carts. Not boxes.
Nice job, I have been looking at this box and some planned mods if I go with it would be one maybe two 22"W x 36L" 3/4" plywood folding shelfs on each end with pull/push handles built in, swivel locks on two of the casters so they can be locked straight when needed, small HF vise that can be mounted when needed then stored out of sight, fold away ladder hooks to haul 4', 6' or 8' ladders and a small folding step stool stored under the folding shelf. I work at a hospital so keeping tools and parts secure and at the tool box is extremely important, my biggest concern is the weight of the box itself empty plus all I'll stuff in it as I'll be rolling this all over the building. I'm working out of a work supplied U.S.General 5 drawer box but it is a bit small and the flip up top and how it unlocks the drawers is a pain, I don't want to mod their box.
I just made a video. The 34" is going to come out in slate gray. The tray just came out and is mountable on the 5 drawer and the 34". USG changed the mounting plate. I expect that eventually all the different color side trays will also mount on 34" carts.
Have you thought about cutting a thin-ish access port at the bottom of the chamber for small things that fall in? You could then just use some tape/putty/hot glue to cover the sharp edge so you can reach in
This cart is almost an exact copy of my snap on 40” roll cart, from the rubber corner guards to the whole drawer slide locks, the pry bar/screwdriver holes, location of the power plug in the top, even the side handle is almost the same. Obviously this one is only 34” wide, where mine is 40” wide.
great video you should by a couple of these and stick it on the underside of your lid! it’s a total game changer Magnetic Tool Holder & Pad, Mechanic Tool Tray, Magnetic Parts Mat, Automotive Organizer for Screws, Bolts, Wrench and Socket, Super Strong Magnets Stay Vertical, Horizontal and Upside Down (Set of 1) no screws or bolts necessary and the magnet after mounted to the metal lid is so strong. but not till you mount it .
LOL, I had to laugh when you said you glued on some Harbor freight rubber floor mat to protect the powder coat finish on the lid, what is funny is as soon as you glued the rubber mat to the lid you ruined the powder coat finish on the lid as well as covered it up.
Harbor Freight sells a roughly 12" long, 2" deep magnetic storage tray (pn# 56446) that also comes in blue, or a magnetic 8" long, 3"deep dual spray can holder (pn# 56450) that comes in blue as well, that could work for adding side storage. Only about $15 each.
As far as the pry bar holes being too large, you could cut a piece of thin gauge sheet steel (from Home Depot/Lowe's etc.) To fit the recessed holder areas and measure out and mark the hole centers. Then use a hole saw to drill holes in the plate that would be a better size fit and use it as an insert in the recessed over the holes to make it more useable and not lose any real space. Could paint it to match with epoxy paint or spray with black undercoating or truck bed coating to somewhat match the black accents.
I've got that tool cart, and I'm running out of room. I was looking at the master tech cart as an upgrade, but then i saw their 56" rolling tool box that's the exact same price, and now I'm conflicted. It's the same price as this master tech cart, but it's got so much more expansion opportunities. I do like this tech cart though... i dunno!
What does this box sell for would love to know? And the bottom draw has 2 rails on each side that the draw opens on. Please, Comment back nephew needs a toolbox for school and I think this would be good for him for school so he could lock up his tools.Please comment back.Thank you very very much for this video
@@anthonymarkham321 I removed mine but I think after getting it on there I realized I didn’t have to it would of worked with them on there but I don’t have the box anymore to look to make sure but the only real modification I had to make was to trim the lip that hooks onto the cart I had to take a small amount off at each end and I had to make a small slice in the lid to go over the side box but that was it I really liked it I only got rid of the cart because I changed jobs and it didn’t fit threw the door of the garden shed that was at the house I lived at but I’m looking at probably getting another one I still have the side box part it makes for a shit load of room
Nice vid.. Any idea where i can find a direct replacement cam/barrel lock? But keep the same lever latch/hook.. or find equivalent that i wont have to mod the door eye.
it is nice, but I wish they made shorter drawers on the top. basically all of them are pretty deep, which is a waste of space for screwdrivers/wrenches
I am always reaching for the Milwaukee impact and electric ratchet. Those are my go-to tools. It would not make sense to put them in the bottom drawer for me
Seems kind of odd to put anything in the top that you might actually use on a daily basis IF you are going to be using the top as a work surface? What socket organizers are those? Also, how do you like that Milwaukee M12 cordless ratchet? I really need to pick one up, but most of my battery tools are all Dewalt 20v
@@MikeJones-tx7hw Yea I saw that, I heard it isn't as good as the 12v though. to be honest, my whole main reason for getting a powered ratchet is to get it into tight spaces, so I'll prob just get a decent air ratchet as they're way cheaper, don't rely on batteries, and way smaller.
@@PoorManMods don't NEED one but i definitely need one. Having a clean space that i could work in 24/7 is a must for me. That and the fact that I can't really do anything on the inclined driveway 😂
The black accents are nice. harbor freight's new Gray color tool cart comes with black accents. they also make a kit where you can put your own black accents on and they make another kit with rubber for the corners like that one has. Please tell me you have an air compressor and you're only impact wrench isn't that corded thing
@@PoorManMods you're right cordless tools have taken their place but corded impact wrenches suck. All the technology to make the tools better and stronger goes into cordless ones. Electric impact wrenches get the oldest technology so they have no power and you're still tethered to a cord. at least with an air impact wrench you get one that has some guts.
@@PoorManMods Hello again, What if you made a small storage with access door or cover? Especially, for the short pry bars? Just a thought. I am looking forward to seeing more of you use the cart in daily work. Again thank you
I want to upgrade. My cart works awesome. If it had one more drawer I probably wouldn't need too. But the thing that hurts me the most is not being able to transfer my sticker collection😍
@@PoorManMods lmao I’m just busting your chops. I don’t own one bit of snap on, and I get all my jobs done. From transmission work, to doing timing chains
Im not sure about Mac, but for snap-on, just because its snap-on does not mean it's made in America Also, I'm not going to spend triple or quadruple the amount of money for the sake of supporting America when I need to support myself first. For the amount of money I have invested in this toolbox and all the tools in it, I could probably buy a similar snap-on box and a screwdriver set and that's about it. And I would not be able to perform any work.
@@PoorManModsuse of the same 6 drawer snap on carts go for 700-800 right around the same price point it will have paper work with the plant in USA from where it was made
Those companies you listed are greedy and don’t care if you can even support yourself as long as you overpay for their products, first. Harbor Freight is cutting into their business as they should be.
@@j.r4985 not true, snap on , Mac, wright tools all continue to grow every year . HF is mostly Chinese tools with some ( very few) rebranded USA. HF doesn’t make any tool , they rebrand them from another company Whereas SnapOn, Mac , Wright have actuall plants in the USA making their own tools with American steel. Ya they cost more , they pay union wages for their employees. They do the research and development. HF is just stocking Chinese made tools. Stop being a communist and support American workers and companies whenever possible. .

Those holes on the side are actually designed for screwdrivers. Specifically, if you get the Quinn screwdriver set, they fit in those holes perfectly.

You can't access it with the drawers out there's a metal partition
Very good idea, small tool box in the back, I'm thinking about a small toolbox, box only no drawers, for my air lines, thank you

Nice box. How is it holding up?
Nice. I’ve been looking at them full banks. Super versatile. Even considered just making that my one and only box in the shop
I thought US General makes magnetic can shelves for the sides of the box, color matched to each one?
Idk maybee
They sure do
I like this for an easy one box solution!
They make the can trays with magnets..just FYI
My wife needs to know what kind of dog that is at 4:14 mark? Looks very similar to our "bugg" boston terrier/pug mix.

Also, how do you like that Milwaukee M12 cordless ratchet? I really need to pick one up, but most of my battery tools are all Dewalt 20v
DeWalt just came out with a 20volt ratchet
@@MikeJones-tx7hw Yea I saw that, I heard it isn't as good as the 12v though. to be honest, my whole main reason for getting a powered ratchet is to get it into tight spaces, so I'll prob just get a decent air ratchet as they're way cheaper, don't rely on batteries, and way smaller.
Modify? It's designed for both boxes
Good review dude, thanks!
Thank you!
great review but it was the dog for me! Rubber grommets on the pry bar holes?
I 3d printed plugs for them but grommets are a good idea too
THANK YOU
Looks awesome man! I really like these new boxes and might sell my Yukon and US General cart and just get one of these.
Thanks man! Totally do it, you can get 0% financing if you open up a credit card
@@PoorManMods Yeah they tell me I’m pre approved every time I’m there…just waiting for the right moment
Can't wait to get one of my own someday. Have to have a garage first though 😅
You don't NEED a garage, did you see the super old 1jz engine swap video we did? 🤣
@@PoorManMods don't NEED one but i definitely need one. Having a clean space that i could work in 24/7 is a must for me. That and the fact that I can't really do anything on the inclined driveway 😂
@@ilyas5708 I totally get it, see if you can find cheap warehouse space to rent like we did
@@PoorManMods gonna try and save up for a versatube and build one myself at the new house :)
@@ilyas5708 sweeeeet
Use both… boom! Win win
Take out those ugly bolts going into the rivnuts and get black allen drive cap bolts
Not that concerned about it
Nice upgrade man 👍
Thank you!
The black accents are nice. harbor freight's new Gray color tool cart comes with black accents. they also make a kit where you can put your own black accents on and they make another kit with rubber for the corners like that one has. Please tell me you have an air compressor and you're only impact wrench isn't that corded thing
I have an air compressor for filling tires and an air chisel, air tools are a thing of the past my friend lol
@@PoorManMods you're right cordless tools have taken their place but corded impact wrenches suck. All the technology to make the tools better and stronger goes into cordless ones. Electric impact wrenches get the oldest technology so they have no power and you're still tethered to a cord. at least with an air impact wrench you get one that has some guts.
I rarely use my corded impact only when my M12 stubby can't get it off l, which is rare, but it has never let me down
How much for whole setup
$600 retail for the box
Hello again Poor Man Mods
Thank you for another Great Video. I was wondering, could you gain access from the top ? Again thank you
thank you, no you couldnt gain much access from the top
@@PoorManMods Hello again, What if you made a small storage with access door or cover? Especially, for the short pry bars? Just a thought. I am looking forward to seeing more of you use the cart in daily work. Again thank you
@@georgeferlazzo7936 i guess thats possivle but i dont think its something i would do, thank you!
Good content dude
thanks!
GREAT VID, THX
I just bought this box in grey... am I the only 1 who hates that all 4 casters are swivel?
mighty toolbox mods
Haha
1 inch Grommets in those holes will stop you screw drivers a smaller breaker bar from falling in through the holes
Ohhh shit! Is that Freddie from CJ pony parts??
Haha no, this is Freddy FROM PoorManMods, however I worked at CJ Pony Parts for a few years 🙂
Well you were the best one there at CJs! I installed a Readylift 7" on my truck with the help of your video!
@@earlyblackmz Thank you so much! I really appreciate that and I'm glad I could help!!
All they would have to do is weld that back plate.
I will buy this and mod it like you did.
Sweeeeet
Good job
Holy crap thank you
@@PoorManMods lol relax. I can respect a proper tool box and tools. Good.organization
Sharp foxbody
Sadly it's not mine, but thanks! It has a turbocharged 306 in it
ARE YOU SELLING THE OLD TOOLBOX?
Already sold
NEW SUB. PICK UP THE AMERICAN FLAG
@@StortWeldingCoLLC thanks! We have changed locations and the flag is in a different spot now 🤙
I would put a wood top on that one instead of that ugly crappy mats.. very nice box
I was thinking the same thing!
I want to upgrade. My cart works awesome. If it had one more drawer I probably wouldn't need too. But the thing that hurts me the most is not being able to transfer my sticker collection😍
Haha I feel you on the stickers
I prefer Snap on
I prefer to not be in debt lol
@@PoorManMods lmao I’m just busting your chops. I don’t own one bit of snap on, and I get all my jobs done. From transmission work, to doing timing chains
@@abe7907 hell yeahhhh
Buy a used Mac , snap on , buy American made products, support America
Im not sure about Mac, but for snap-on, just because its snap-on does not mean it's made in America
Also, I'm not going to spend triple or quadruple the amount of money for the sake of supporting America when I need to support myself first. For the amount of money I have invested in this toolbox and all the tools in it, I could probably buy a similar snap-on box and a screwdriver set and that's about it. And I would not be able to perform any work.
@@PoorManModssnap on is 99% USA it’s expensive but some of us are proud to own something with a made in the USA stamp
@@PoorManModsuse of the same 6 drawer snap on carts go for 700-800 right around the same price point it will have paper work with the plant in USA from where it was made
Those companies you listed are greedy and don’t care if you can even support yourself as long as you overpay for their products, first. Harbor Freight is cutting into their business as they should be.
@@j.r4985 not true, snap on , Mac, wright tools all continue to grow every year . HF is mostly Chinese tools with some ( very few) rebranded USA. HF doesn’t make any tool , they rebrand them from another company
Whereas SnapOn, Mac , Wright have actuall plants in the USA making their own tools with American steel. Ya they cost more , they pay union wages for their employees. They do the research and development. HF is just stocking Chinese made tools.
Stop being a communist and support American workers and companies whenever possible. .
Get that flag off the wall, and off the floor. Fucking hell man. Can't display it with some respect then store it.
At least im showing support for the flag and county and not burning it and waving dildos around. Relax man.
👍👍👍
Get the flag off the floor!
You should def invest in some drawer organizers. Sloppy storage
