Home depot husky tool box1/14/2024 ![]() I’ve got the Icon in a non-CC controlled shop and the slides still roll great even with the grease getting down into the 15-20F range. Though I’d be the first to say I’d ditch them in a heartbeat for lift latches like you see on Homaks or Montezumas. While that’s certainly not bad as far as extension goes, the Icons are true full extension and I like the tension latches more than the single setting Husky has. I also wouldn’t consider the slides to be full extension either, there’s probably ~1/2″ or so at the back that is always inset. The slides don’t seem to roll as well either and the soft-close (imo) is really annoying. In practice it’s not THAT big of a deal, but it’s still a significant knock against the overall fit and finish when you’ve got 20 drawers like that. Just lift up on any of them and you can see all the up and down play even when they’re closed. The drawers slides have a good bit of up and down wobble/slop because they aren’t retained as well as the Icons. And the corner covers are just lazy, in my opinion. The drawer sliders, while capable, are much cheaper than the ones even on the harbor Freight boxes. But this box is built heavy enough to withstand an obviously very heavy blow. If this were the heavy duty version, it would have been completely destroyed by that. Looks like someone dropped a forklift on it or something. I wish I could upload a picture of the dent on mine. It’s very stout, Heavy as heck and solid. I was thinking of removing mine to try and fix the dent since most of the screws were loose anyway.Īnyway, I’m not saying it’s a piece of junk or anything, just can’t be compared to a Snapon. I’d add some thread locker when you reinstall, haha. 4 of these screws had already backed themselves out on my box and were lying in the upper drawers. Looks like you just remove maybe 12 screws or so and it should come right off. If you remove the top couple drawers and look inside, you’ll see the stainless top is held on just by some Philips head machine screws. The stainless top can be removed fairly easily. Overall I’m happy with it and I can’t wait to get all my garage tools a little more organized But I suppose I also wouldn’t own it if it were remaining at its normal stock status and price. ![]() I’m definitely a little bummed the whole line is just going away, as it would have been nice to get a second locker or a hutch for it. It’s more than enough bench for my needs, so I can’t speak to if it would truly fit a professional mechanics needs. I’m a carpenter by trade but have been waiting for the right deal to come along for a home garage workbench, and this was it. Initial impressions are that this was a great buy. Silly me assuming I’d be able to just unpackage and roll it right on the trailer! It took a little finagling to get the weight of the bench resting on the wheels, but I made it happen without any damage to anything. I picked up my bench and locker up today- quite pleased with it all! I rented a hydraulic drop lift trailer and was hoping to just disassemble the packaging for the bench and roll it right on, but someone at some stage of the freight process decided to put the whole thing on top of another small pallet, likely so they could wheel it around easier in its narrower dimension with a pallet jack.
