52 husky tool box2/29/2024 While there are a ton of great features like locks galore for various compartments for securing your stuff, wheel locks, a HAL 9000 ( just kidding, not yet) and soft drawer slides that will hold up to a 120 lb. They now occupy the ground floor of The Dark Tower. Since most of my hand held power tools are within easy reach on my metal pegboards, I never seem to have a good dedicated spot to put my corded routers, sanders or circular saws. If you have one of those large plastic circular saw cases sitting around, it fits perfectly in them with the handle down. At the lowest level of the cabinet are deep pocket drawers that are around a foot and a half deep. The unit is broken down into a cabinet ( bottom) and chest ( top). But how? It’s 52” wide, almost 65” tall and 20” deep, how is that going to free up space? 15 drawers of organizational bliss my friends. This massive 52” Husky Tool Chest was going to change all of that and free up some much needed real estate. Here’s your insider exclusive that hardly anyone has ever seen:Įmbarrassing… but I own it as my own piece of abstract art. The dead zone is an old workbench I built years ago and a half baker’s rack that are just piled up with “stuff”. With floor space and work surfaces at a minimum, smaller items in my shop typically got relegated to “the pile” that is a black hole of all things I can never find when I need them. I mean… not as small as Sam’s shop from DIY Huntress ( but then she’s like 2 feet shorter than I am and needs a lot less space) but let’s just say I’m often playing Tetris with shop components to maximize my workspace that’s only 160 square feet when it’s empty. I pictured a yellow Vette when they told us that.īack to the problem and the massive solution at hand, I don’t know how many times I’ve mentioned how small my workshop is. Did I mention the tool chests and workbenches had a crumple weight strong enough to hold up a Corvette? Yep. ![]() ![]() ![]() I immediately thought of the opening scene of the movie Cliffhanger and if only Husky had made that girl’s backpack… The mad scientists down there went to great lengths to show us how much quality testing goes on behind the scenes so if your ratchet tie-down straps say they can hold a load up to 600 pounds, they actually will probably hold twice that. That is until you realize the bag is being suspended from the ceiling with several hundred pounds of weight hanging from the handle so you know that no matter how much weight you put in that sucker… those handles are never failing. Made of water resistant material with 14 pockets and a heavy duty zipper, you don’t suspect anything more substantial than that from a tool bag. One of the first things we saw upon walking into their very own Chamber of Secrets ( minus the Basilisk) was a 15” Husky Tool Bag suspended from the ceiling. We visited their underground bunker that they use for torturing products from in house brands like Husky to absolutely test them to their limits to ensure quality. Whenever I go to the store I look at these Husky tool box behemoths and think… someday… someday I too can organize my little shop and store secrets of the world in the many drawers like an ancient apothecary with their cabinets of curiosities.īefore we delve into multiple drawers of awesomeness, let me take you back to April when I visited Home Depot HQ in Atlanta to kick off the Pro-Spective review. What I found sitting unloaded in my yard was the Husky Tools 52” Rolling Tool Chest. ![]() What I came home to was as black as coal and had a matte finish like a pile of ashes, but Lazy Guy was not on the naughty list this year ( well… at least not yet, it’s summertime still) and this wasn’t fitting into a stocking. So when my wife called me to say there was a 400 pound delivery arriving at our house in the next few minutes from The Home Depot and I hadn’t recently been insomnia ordering off the web, I immediately made up an excuse and rushed home from work giddy enough to make me feel like it was an early morning on the 25th of December. Okay, so maybe tax refund day or the birth of your first child is just as exciting (what’s it going to be a boy, a girl or a puppy?). There are few things in your adult life that bring on the same excitement as waking up Christmas morning as a kid and being absolutely surprised about what “Santa” brought you this holiday season.
