Harbor Freight Icon weighs considerably more than Gearwrench and Husky for nearly the same size, suggesting potentially better overall build quality. Its weight and dimensions are pretty average among the options. The Husky Pro has the advantage of a very thick 9 gauge base frame, which is likely to add significant sturdiness to the toolbox. A 3-year warranty on a $5000 tool cabinet seems paltry. On top of that, Husky and Harbor Freight back their professional tool storage roller cabinets with a lifetime warranty. Why buy this Gearwrench GSX tool cabinet, when competitors offer more for less money?

But $5000, let alone $5500? That seems excessive to me.Īt such pricing, I’d expect the Gearwrench GSX tool box to be a bit more… I don’t know, innovative?Īs harsh as it might sound, Gearwrench’s latest flagship tool storage roller cabinet seems bland and overpriced. I try to ignore pricing when forming opinions about products sight-unseen and based on their online sales pages, but couldn’t do that here.Īt $3000, Gearwrench’s GSX tool box could potentially be competitive. Harbor Freight’s Icon professional roller cabinet is $2999, and also has higher drawer load specs. $5000 at independent dealers and $5500 at Home Depot?! I don’t see the value being there.Īt the time of this posting, $3500 gets you a Husky Pro cabinet – with better specs – plus a free add-on, such as a top hutch or side locker. The Strictly Tool Boxes Tool Vault Elite sells for $3895. However, Strictly Tool Boxes’ Tool Vault Elite has a 250 lb load rating for drawers with a single pair of slides, and 500 lbs for drawers with double pairs of slides. There are enough similarities in the designs to suggest a common OEM. This suggests it has 7 drawers with single sets of drawer slides and 10 with double slides. The Strictly Tool Boxes Tool Vault Elite, measuring 72-15/16″ width x 30″ depth x 46-1/4″ height, has 17 drawers and 27 pairs of drawer slides. The Gearwrench GSX cabinet does has 10 out of 18 drawers with double slides for 300 lb capacity each, which seems unusual to me. Harbor Freight’s Icon 73″ roller cabinet ($2999) has 265 lb drawer slides. But… the Husky Pro tool cabinet ($3500) I recently reviewed has 220 lb drawer slides. Used widely in defence, utility, construction and emergency vehicles design.Compare: Husky Pro at Home Depot Discussionġ50 lb drawer slides seems pretty decent. Rugged design – no lateral play between beams – stainless steel balls & cages. Stocked 300mm to 700mm for fast delivery. 150% travel allows access to rear of drawer. Recommending the Ultio 7040 Four Beam Super Extension slide loading up to 250kg. This suits applications such as train battery boxes where solid section stainless steel slides are beyond budget. Standard ball bearings are chrome plated steel with an option to upgrade to stainless steel 304 or 316. Steel beams are plated with an industry standard zinc and passivate 10-12 microns surface protection. The entire range is manufactured from high grade steel type C45 E+C which ensures a slide with strong raceways, fit for the industrial purpose they were designed. Often these can be modified from stock at no extra cost with a minimal load decrease. When an over extension of 120% or less is required, the most cost effective alternative is to specify a standard extension slide from our Professional Range. The rear of the drawer will completely clear the cabinet and there will be space behind for access. Super extension slides can travel 150% of the closed length or even up to 200% with the DD versions.
