Mine has served me well so far. I need to reorganize mine a little more to maximize its use.

I recently purchased this box to start a new job in a shop. I have always had a service truck and no actual “tool box”. It’s been great though I have ran out of room and will be purchasing another in the next couple weeks. As for the privacy drawer..... I keep my handgun, wallet and Harley keys in it during the work day.

I have the exact same box and I love it! When I first started out as a Ford technician, I only had a 6 drawer snap on cart and knew I would have to get a big stationary tool box eventually. I purchased the husky as I saw no need to fork out $13,000 for a snap on box that just sits there and holds tools. It’s been 7 months since I purchased mine and I can’t say one bad thing about it so far. This box gets a big thumbs up from me 👍

I do automotive for a living. Bought the Husky 52" in January and it's been great so far. Not sure if I should blame it on thin metal or "lower quality", but one thing I noticed recently is the bigger bottom drawer making contact with the welds on the very bottom of the box. I do have some weight in that drawer but it is not jam packed. I had to remove the drawer and grind off a little bit of the welds (don't remember if it was 2 or 3) so it does not make contact anymore when opening and closing the drawer

Been eyeing this one, think imma pick it up.
