I heavily considered that 5 drawer cart. It's ~$120 after coupon. Great deal. I'm looking for more storage though and could really use something bigger.

I'm really leaning toward the 56"

Description of U.S. General 67681

Amazing 28,240 cubic inches of storage in a super high-quality cabinet. Holds up to 1958 lbs - nearly a ton of tools!

* Industrial quality all steel construction with heavy duty powder coat finish
* Heavy duty ball bearing slides on all drawers
* Spring-loaded latch keeps drawers closed
* Rugged 6" casters with rubber tires (2 fixed and 2 swivel with brake)
* Lockable drawer with two keys
* Nonslip rubber mats in each drawer, easy-clean no-mar pad on top
* Overweight Item subject to $89.95 additional Freight Charge

The 56" one is like that too. I need more space than the cart provides.

Yes. I know. That's why I'm doing this.
That 56" I'm talking about, usually $799, is $699. I've got one of those coupons for 20% off.


See my first post on this subject. I feel like I'm talking in circles.

I've just received an email from "Jessica" at Sam's Club. She has requested an item number for the 56" box I want that's only available in Tyler. Maybe she will be able to help me. If I can get it locally for $800 it's a done deal.

Here's the exact same box on eBay. Has many more pictures.

Sorry Hilton, I guess I didn't help your situation.

If I were in your situation, I'd buy the Sam's box, only because I am VERY particular about things matching, symmetry, etc. Very OCD.

I have Snap-On box now with a Mac side box and I will probably outgrow it very soon. I will be getting the 72" box from HarborFreight. Its the same exact box that Northern Tool and Sears sell for thousands more. It's made in the same factory in China.

I didn't even consider the 72" Chris. It's nice, but two grand? Damn!


Of course you can probably sell your Snap On box for more than that and come out ahead.

I'm like Chris. I like my stuff matching. So my vote is for the stainless box.

Actually, My Snap-On top box is a late 60's-early 70's model, and the roll car is a little newer. I got it repainted a couple months ago. It's my first box with my personal tools. I've never really needed my own tools since my pop's owns a shop and has just as many tools at the house so I've always had access to 2-3 sets of any tools I've ever needed.

I just wanted to start my own and I've almost filled the box up. Tools are like my addictions now over car parts LOL

On the HF 72" box, if you're not in a hurry, I read it goes on sale from time to time for ~$1,500, then I've also read you may get lucky and if you order it over the phone (since most stores dont stock it), they will still honor your 20% off coupon. That's what Im going to try.
