My solution the liner issue was using 3m adhesive spray. Put something heavy on one side of the drawer and then roll back the liner from the other half. Spray the 3m spray adhesive and let it tack. Put it down and move the heavy object to the newly adhesive area and then roll up the other side. Key is not to go crazy with the glue but this solution has worked really well for me. Great vid and thanks for sharing.
I also used 3m spray adhesive on mine. Works really well! Day and night difference. Also, if you contact husky they will send you locks/keys so you can make them all match.
I started with a US general double bank 54” with matching cart but moving into a Matco 4s or 6s HAVENT decided yet but they are much thicker gauge metal than Snapon. But as a master tech with 10 years under my belt I belt my tools first then the box comes after and after you will notice the difference. I tell all young techs your tools make you money not the box once you build an arsenal then down the road the box will come.
@@unfilteredjamaican3478 while I know this would work, the cleanup of the spray adhesive would suck. But definitely not a bad idea if someone wanted a permanent solution.
As a much more tooled up journeyman technician, the box is ok. Weight as you add more can become an issue. You have vastly less in yours than I do and all but one of my drawers have held up. Again, weight after a point will become an issue in that box where is lesser heavy metal construction. As a newer tech I would say it's a much better choice for a box than someone at my stage of the career. That would be a GREAT home box for doing personal work and some side jobs. Also, depending on what type of technician you are will determine what the limit that box will be able to keep up to. As an automotive and truck/ transport tech is less box for my purpose even if it's done well for me for the passed 2.5 years. That box is destined to become my home box once I go to my potential final box set from Styrke Industries. The build quality of those is vastly better than the Husky 80" but still far cheaper than a box off any tool truck brand.
Each to their own, my box has officially filled up since I made this video, still going strong to this day. I personally don't think weight will be an issue. Drawers seem to be taking the extra weight just fine and I even tend to sit on the bottom drawers sometimes, I do a little more diagnostic stuff but occasionally do heavy line and have no problems. I agree that possibly a "professional box" will probably hold up better in the longer term jammed up with tools, but that has not been the case for me. In my opinion, all these big boxes do is hold tools and stay stationary. If this box does fail me though I will be looking at Icon boxes since they are not too expensive compared to SnapOn.
@AnthonyCessor believe it or not.... the stacked top drawer of sockets isn't where mine failed.... it's the 4th drawer down on the left side of the box filled with pliers and long extensions. Over time me having the large impact sockets I do, that drawer is gonna fail. Hopefully not soon but that box of mine is very full. It's a shame the pro series husky boxes only just came out. Those also are a far better and bigger box for a great price point. Again will never match price with the 80" though. Dollar for dollar the 80" Husky is hard to beat
Nah bro I’m a bmw tech and this box is valid weight will not be an issue I can stand on that shit all day and will Not tilt or bend vs snap ons it will fuck up and bend . Dont be fooled bruh . Even the closing and opening mechanisms of the snap on box is shit and they mess up vs husky has soft close .
i have the blue one i love it compared to the kids at my job they buy a snap on tool box 10,000 for theres and is a quarter of the size compared to my box
One of my co workers has an Icon box, slightly smaller than what I have at 56 inches. He spent upwards of 5k for the Box, hutch and locker combo which is a lot better compared to Snapon for the size. Quality is good too. Not sure I would consider a smaller box that cost more money an upgrade especially when losing out on some features the husky box has. I would definitely consider the 73in Icon box being slightly less than 6k is is still cheaper than the smallest Snapon offering with a hutch and locker (and 0% interest with payments) but I have no interest in getting another box soon and my box still works and operates just as good as the day I got it.
@@AnthonyCessor the 56 would be a good size for me, but the 73 bottom can be had for under 2000 on scratch and dent, a good start to an Icon platform. add on a credit card first time use 10% discount and its the price of a us general.
@@jacobe1942 As of right now my husky box is almost maxed out on storage space. Now in all fairness I could get rid of some junk in it. However going to a smaller box is not an option for me now. I did see a couple below 2k for the 73 inch which is a good deal assuming the damage isn't extensive, when you add the hutch and locker will be around 3k area with discount which is arguably very good. Still a massive difference compared to the $800 I got my husky box for with the dent. I would be in the market possibly for the Icon box in the future when I would want a big tool box in my garage and have a reason to get another box for sure.
@@AnthonyCessor sure thing man! for 800 one can get a lot of value out of it and resell or repurpose. I too actually wanted an icon, but got a few smaller Us generals series 2 while they are available. I only found the 26" and some lockers though, it has gone a long way to organize my "shop"
@@jacobe1942 definitely, sure getting a lot of value from mine. Are those the actual boxes with a hutch? I remember looking at them and the depth was disappointing. I'm definitely gonna keep my eye on an icon box in the future though.
They don't provide tools at my dealer. However my dealer does have a program that gives us a tool allowance every 4 months that is based on our performance
The liners are bunching up because you close them like the soft drawers will prevent everything from sliding forward as you slam them shut lol even soft close drawers slam everything into each other they just slam 3 inches before everyone else's and then softly close the last 3 inches.... stop slaming your drawers and you will have no liner problems
Actually it’s just the Husky liners aren’t as rigid and they slide quite easily, I’ve had that issue with my Husky liners that came with box vs my Us general ones, I changed out liners to ones that were a bit stiffer and regardless of how hard you slam the drawer they won’t move and keep the tools in place better
The slamming of the drawers is not the problem. The problem is mainly how thin the liners are and due to this they flex very easy. Most of my liners are fine and don't flex at all when closing my drawers as I only have 3 drawers where the liners bunch up. The drawers where they bunch up does not matter how hard or soft I close the drawers they still flex out of place. Same goes for the once that are not currently bunching up, closing the drawers hard or soft does not cause them to flex.
This the one I want. $1800 in comparison to $10,000+ off the tool trucks.

Double sided tape under your liners is gonna work wonders man
I never thought of that. Thanks for the tip will definitely be trying that!
3m spray adhesive is another option. Never used it for this purpose, but just a thought.
@@unfilteredjamaican3478 while I know this would work, the cleanup of the spray adhesive would suck. But definitely not a bad idea if someone wanted a permanent solution.
Thanks for the tip again, added double sided tape to all my liners and none of them are moving anymore 👍👌
@@AnthonyCessor agreed
Adhesive spray under your liners works wonders!
Very nice toolbox and smart decision for the money
Thank you 🙏

Thank you for sharing this info 💯 I’m liking the Dark Vader Statue ✌🏾
Of course! Haha thanks, it's actually from the 1980s which I think is cool.
Smart move

I guess the biggest problem is the weight capacity of husky boxes. The US General casters hold over 6k, more than alot of SnapOns
Mine came with all 3 matches locks the way the hutch opens is probably the only thing. That bothers me great box tho !
ever thought of upgrading to an icon? scratch n dent sales can get you pretty good prices too

Do you buy alot of your own tools or does the dealer help w tools
They don't provide tools at my dealer. However my dealer does have a program that gives us a tool allowance every 4 months that is based on our performance
@@AnthonyCessor interesting, ok good to know ty!
I thought this was gonna be Homak or Kennedy or that Canadian company that sells on line.
Not Husky.

Sadly hardly any toolboxes with hutches in UK...Snapon or that garbage Sealey
$1,856
I got mine for 1200 at Home Depot
Price goes up and down all the time. I saw it for 1400 the other day
No way I would’ve TOOKEN that box unless they given it for free.
I kust got mine and half the drawers wont open. I watched a video about it. I guess Inneed to make sure theyre all closed properly.
Sounds like yours is faulty, would look into getting it fixed or replaced with warranty if you don't get it fixed.
