US General tool boxes from Harbor Freiht

plowhand · Jun 5, 2023

Looking at toolboxes from HB the whole set up top chest,bottom rolling chest,side cabinet and side chest with drawers it is all on clearance here is where the problem is the colors are all different on each item green red and orange.Is this something that would look to sissy? lol putting these colors together.

Personally I would not worry about colors. As long as they are good quality. DOUG

If the price is right go for it.

If the price is right, forget the colors. I have one of the USG 56" chests and I'm very happy with it. It's not "cheap" either in price or build quality, but it's a good deal cheaper than the competition and is very solidly built.

I have one. Its as nice as my ancient Craftsman. Buy it.

I have the 72 inch bottom cabinet with a hang on side box and I think it is well built and a great value. I also have 2 56 inch bottom cabinets. I would not worry about the color. All my top boxes are snap-on but I could not convince myself to spend snap-on price on a large bottom cabinet. Almost all of my tools are snap-on but I am completely satisfied with the US General bottom cabinets.

I bought a small one a few years ago and later bought a medium sized one. I would rate them better then the premium craftsman box I bought about 6 years ago. The last few years more guys have bought them at the mechanic/weld shop I work at and they all seem happy. You cannot beat the quality for the price. I would love a snap on box but can't justify the price for their boxes. I have u.s. general boxes filled with snap on tools lol.

Of everything HF sells the tool boxes are probably at the top of the heap. For a big discount Id run with the multi color.

M-MAN · Jun 5, 2023

Different strokes for different folks but I'd pass. I just don't want to bring something home I think is ugly and have to look at it all the time.

Paint them red.

Pretty decent boxes
I bought 2 of the 42 inch, cut the top draw section off and incorporated them into my work bench

Maybe you could paint the ones to match? Ron MN

I have 3 different stores within 40 minutes of we. I would try calling around to get a match. For their prices I would just mix and match.

SPMN · Jun 5, 2023

Maybe go on line to HF & check other nearby stores for the color you want & get the matching color from several stores if near enough.

hd6gtom · Jun 5, 2023

I have 2 of the larger HF boxes. They are good quality.

Pete76NYPa · Jun 5, 2023

Red, Green, Orange...Optimal for me with some Farmalls, a few JDs, a Case...all I would need is a couple extras with two shades of Ford Gray and the boxes would match!
I would get some misc. tractor decals and apply to the proper colored box!

Yeah, get enough decals. the color won't matter.

I personally wouldnt be too concerned about color. My bottom, rolling box is a brown Kennedy dating back to the 60s. My middle box is a red Craftsman from the 90s. My top box is an old grey Craftsman from the 70s. All have ball bearing drawer slides which is a must in my book. They all get along just fine.
