Default Husky Tool Chests

So I'm looking at getting a new tool chest and I am really digging the Husky 52" Ball bearing drawer slides, power strips with usb ports, soft close drawers, seems very solid and looks damn good.

Anyone have any experience with them? Pro's/Con's?

Better deal as this one goes on sale for Memorial day tomorrow making it considerably cheaper.

Husky 52 in. W 20 in. D 15-Drawer Tool Chest and Cabinet, Textured Black-H52CH6TR9 - The Home Depot

So decided since they will toss the military discount on top of the sale price it's to good of a deal to pass up. So it is coming home with me tomorrow

Those chests are decent, you are going to like it. I bought one for my nephew last year and it's still holding up fine. And this kid kicks the crap out of his stuff!
I will give you one caution, when you get it home look it over really well. There were problems with the first one right out of the box and it had to be returned. The slides were F'd up and the base of the cabinet was not true. Of course HD took it back without any issue, but still just look it over. The next one we got was spot on. Good Luck!

X1 ....................... many get delivered with panel damage due to rough handling in transit so check it over carefully especially the tool drawers and runners. Some couriers are morons and just throw the goods around on truck transfers.

I recently bought a US PRO cabinet and it 'survived' from the US to the UK and from the internal UK depot to the south UK and then to France ................ a miracle

I have the previous model years of that same one. Had it almost 2 years now. I take good care of my tools and equipment so I can't say how well it holds up to destruction. But mine works and looks great. I roll it around the shop to whichever part of a car I'm working on. Love it and want another

I went for it.

The sale price plus 10% off for military discount ($539 plus tax) made the deal to good to pass up... The bottle opener sealed the deal though.

I've been trying to convince my wife to let me get that exact chest for the past few days. The "it'll finally allow me to clean up the garage so you can get to your gardening stuff" argument isn't working.
