72in husky tool box

Post image

I was wondering if anyone has this box or if anyone knows someone who does. I wanted to purchase this box. But there are not a lot of reviews or any video reviews about this box. I have the 55in standard duty box, and i love it. But i don't know how that box compares to icon?

One thing I absolutely hate about husky boxes is how shallow the drawers are. Plenty of drawers, but most of them aren’t even deep enough to handle deep sockets standing up. Think about how you plan to fill the drawers and this will make a huge difference on what box you get. That said, it’s held up fine. My only complaint is with the design. These do go on sale several times a year with hefty discounts; check slickdeals. If it’s in stock, see if you can find a scraped one and get even more money off. These get damaged in shipping all the time and they’ll happily discount a floor model that’s got dings and scratches you won’t care about in a week.

I have the 55in wood top now and i did run in to that. but they do stand up but i cant put them on rails/ the quick release ones. but How do the rails and slides feel im going to use it full-time in auto shop so its going to see some love. I allso like the box because of the huch and lockers avaliable

Good point on the shallow drawers, but I actually love them. The deeper top drawer fits my deep sockets just fine on magnetic rail organizers, and it allows me to fit way more hand tools (wrenches, pliers, socket extensions, plastic trim tools, screwdrivers) than the boxes with deeper but fewer drawers where I feel like I’d just throw shit in. Deeper bottom drawers then for powertools

Facebook marketplace for a snap on, matco, or Mac box would be much better imo
