Fairly good review. Since Harbor Freight does not list all measurements, it would be nice to inform that the larger (higher) drawers measure 4-7/8" vertical depth, basically 5", and the smaller drawers measure 2-3/8" vertical depth, basically 2-1/2". The widest width drawers measure 36-7/8", the second width drawers measure 22-1/8" and the third width drawers measure 11-7/8". The sliding depth (away and towards you) all measure 19-1/4" deep.

Thanks for the info and thank you for watching 🇺🇸🤘. You’re awesome.

Good review. On a contrarian note, I purchased this same setup in part because it _did not_ have soft close drawers. Those things drive me nuts. Opening requires pulling past a threshold, at which point the drawer flies open, potentially spilling any contents not locked down in organizers. Give me an old-fashioned smooth-pulling/closing drawer slide anyday. Oh - I also removed all of the plastic drawer latches. A couple other noteworthy pluses of the USG Series 3 cabinets... drawers slide _completely_ open, so I can easily get to the socket in the far back corner. And there are a number of modular options for attached side tables, cabinets, etc.

So much awesome new stuff coming in

Jimmy you know Seabees need good things to have in their garage. 😊 One Seabees to another. CAN DO

If you put a small screw and flat washer in on top of the latch it eliminates the latch without having to remove the whole thing. Then there is a detent that will hold the drawer if you don't push it in to hard, if you push it in hard then it opens hard. On my gen 2 I had to remove the latch and put a couple of magnet blocks behind each drawer. All in all it's a good solid box. Mines a 52 sitting on a gen2 72 inch.

You got yourself another sub. You seem to like harbor freight as much as I do! I also just picked up the Bauer 8 inch drill press today.

I cannot find anything on the height of the top box as an alone piece when you open the lid. Did you happen to measure that at all or are you willing too??😂 thanks if you do!! I’m trying to fit it underneath where I have my work station from a converted Husky shelf. The website has just the height if the box is closed. So I guess I can add about 8-10 more inches if it’s open due to the angle but not sure

Nice Box

How deep is the wide top drawer on the base cabinet? Trying see if it would fit my sockets on the hansen organizer trays. My big husky won't unless i remove the drawer liner. Kind of a bummer

I can't figure out how to attach my top chest to my bottom box. Does it just sit on top of the bottom box? I figured there would be bolts that hold the two together?

Will the drawers still lock with the key even when the drawer latches are taken off?

@NegativeTravis

5 ай бұрын

Yeah. On the bottom box if you look at the back of each drawer you'll see a little silver plate riveted in place. The other side of the plate has a notch that gets engaged by a bar that hangs behind the drawers and is actuated by the key lock. Locking the box drops the bar down, unlocking it pulls the bar up. The top box operates in a similar fashion with those cutouts you can see in the back of the drawers. The outside latches are just to keep the drawers from potentially sliding open on their own. Snap-On boxes use the same setup, other boxes (Mac, Matco, Icon, etc.) use spring detents on the drawer slides.

I wish they had a option to let you specify draw order and draw size to make the box more to your particular needs ,. Be nice if you could swapp the drawer on the lower left to right.
