New tools you've bought recently?

The HF boxes are the only ones that sell a box for a reasonable price and have a 5” top drawer.

Huskey, Kobalt, Craftsman, all have shallower top drawers. Can stand up deep 1/2” sockets.

Also not a huge fan of the soft close toolbox drawers, they tent to make all my stuff slide to the front.

I've had my US General series 3 72" box and top cabinet for a little over 3 years now. I got the side box for it a little over a year ago. Other than a couple of broken drawer latches, I'm real happy with it. I expected that the drawer slides would be the first problem, especially on my sockets drawer but so far they've been fine. I probably use my tool box way more than the average home mechanic would... but much less than a professional tech.

My only regret is not having enough wall space to add either another side box or the locker like PJ did. Also I dig the white box... I prefer blue I guess but white would have been high on my list.

slide to the front with soft close or back with latches, whatever, both are annoying.

Come to think of it I do in fact like that tall top drawer on the bottom box, that's where my sockets are because I could stand 1/2" deep sockets upright...

I n3ed to buy another 1/2 to 3/8 adapter for the breaker bar. Got two days out of the harbor freight one this time. It snapped right off while tightening lug nuts.


I previously had one of those black colored ones for an air ratchet. It last about a year but snapped off tightening stuff on my son's lift for his wrangler
