The three different units each include six 5-inch x 2-inch casters.
Double them up on a bottom drawer, and you’ve got 200-pound holding capacity. We tested both the Husky 52-inch tool box and the Husky 56-inch tool box in addition to the 60-inch work bench. The ball-bearing drawer slides also support anywhere between 100 and 120 pounds depending on the model. Taller bottom drawers include two slides for better stability and weight handling. The drawers themselves have a very stable and deliberate movement. They measured about 0.0415″ in thickness (in line with the 19 gauge steel rating). Speaking of the slides, they’re riveted into the sides of the drawers, and we didn’t feel a lot of play from side to side. This gives them significantly more strength, so the slides aren’t the only thing keeping them straight. The edges of the steel drawers are nicely rolled over. They’re taller than prior models, with a greater support-up to 200 pounds, in fact. The drawers also feature very nice ball-bearing slides (see the photo for why these are the smoothest drawers we’ve yet tested on a Husky). It’s available on their 52″ tool chest, 56″ tool chest, and their 60″ mobile workbench Improved Drawer Slides This is what the Husky soft close mechanism looks like. Our sockets and wrenches always end up in a mess at the back of the drawer. Compare this with something like the Monster Work Bench which was recently reviewed at Shop Tool Reviews. The mechanism then sucks the drawer in all the way without bouncing your tools. It allows you to shut the drawers with some force while not tossing your tools all over the place. If you’re not doing a positive handle lock, then soft-close is the way to go. I’m often surprised why more toolboxes don’t feature this. The drawers have a really nice soft-close feature. After attending the 2016 SEMA Show, I’ve seen more than a few tool boxes, and these look and feel nicer than most. They’re definitely going after at least the casual mechanic or serious DIY shop guy. It’s honestly a better look than most other toolboxes I’ve seen. Both have replaced the shiny handles with gloss black, giving them a new “black on black” look. Husky Tool Box and Workbench Features & Build Quality Husky Tool Chest and Husky Workbench Aestheticsīoth the new Husky Tool Box and the Husky Work Bench share a lot of features. Since the three tool boxes we received share so many features, this is a comprehensive review that covers them all. Getting them in for review was a natural next step, and we’ll go over my thoughts on that in detail below. My initial impression was: They nailed it-at least on first inspection. I first saw the new Husky tool chest and Husky work bench at The Home Depot’s Holiday Media Preview event in New York City. While color isn’t everything-in this case it mattered. While the red Milwaukee steel chest was a top performer-it was very…well, red. Our DeWalt 36″ tool chest was the same-only yellow. We also wanted them to hold our assortment of tools without a problem.
When we were setting up our Shop for video reviews, we wanted a set of tool boxes that would work well as a backdrop. They’re tougher tool chests, they have better drawers, upgraded slides, and all models sport a new look that’s stunningly subdued. I have to tell you, the new Husky tool boxes and work bench that came out this year absolutely blow all that out of the water. Where they may have been lacking was in the area of drawer slides, and how the handles connected to the drawers. I also loved the 46″ Husky workbench and continue using it even today. Those Husky tool boxes were priced competitively, and had some features that made them a pretty good value. It was black, so it didn’t stick out like a sore thumb. It had nice secure-latch drawers that kept them closed. This may be the best tool box value you will find anywhere. Our favorites are the soft close drawers and tough slides. You really need to see the new Husky tool chests and workbench to believe how well they’re made.
