- Here's a look at the new Series 3 Roller Cabinet from US GENERAL. Aside from the lack of a soft-close option, I'd say this is a VERY well made tool box.
Stay tuned for part 2 where I'll give a tool box tour! \m/ - Jak na to + styl
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.
So much awesome new stuff coming in
Kicking it up a notch.
Jimmy you know Seabees need good things to have in their garage. 😊
One Seabees to another. CAN DO
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.
Thank you sir!!
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.
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.
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 review👍
Thank you! 🇺🇸🤘
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
It’s deep. I have all my air tools in that drawer - some of them pretty thick. It’s a great toolbox thus far.
@@jimmysgarage9068 nice.
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?
Just sits right on there.
How deep are the drawers? I have a lot of deep sockets mounted on organizers (standing up). Thanks
As deep as the box is. The drawers differ in height. All the numbers should be on the website 🤘🇺🇸
I guess I wasn't clear with my question. What I need to know is how high each of the drawers are so I can stand up some deep sockets on a holder. I have been unable to find these measurements on the website. Thanks @@jimmysgarage9068
Nice Box
Thank you for noticing 😉
Will the drawers still lock with the key even when the drawer latches are taken off?
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.
We just purchased this but we’re at a loss as how to get the top put on bc of the weight/size. How did you get it put on the bottom chest?
I used my adjustable work table. A friend helped me lift it on there & then we slid it onto the box. It’s extremely heavy.
@@jimmysgarage9068 Thank you so much! We discovered you can remove the drawers and that made it liftable with two people. But glad that is only a one time deal.
We need the 42" hutch!
Hopefully they make it!
I see more US General Tool Chests in your Future ...😁😁😁
Oh man... We’ll see!
How heavy is it and how many men to lift that top piece on top bottom piece?
Very heavy. At least three.
Great looking box. Does it come in other colors?
Yeah man. Harborfreight.com -> tons of colors.
How tall are you? Just for reference of the total height of both boxes. I’m 5’9”
The Navy says I’m 5’8. Sticking with that.
Is there a way to ship this to UK
I’m not the guy to ask. Look on the website maybe?
Cool 😎 !
It’s way cool. 🇺🇸🤘
How much d they cost and where to get it?
Harborfreight.com. Lots of different sizes and prices.
Now you just need a locker. Or 2. 👌
Good call. 🇺🇸🤘
Cant decide between the red and blue 😭
Red all day 🇺🇸🤘
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.
That would be cool.
I been watching your channel for a while and I had no idea you had such beautiful eyes. :)
So sweet of you to say 😉
Great video. We are looking for the most insightful reviewers. Would you like to review Frirecore laser level? If you would like to, please leave your contact information.🙂
Hello! I’d be happy to check it out! My business email is jimmysgarage1@yahoo.com
Good video Jimmy. Can we invite you to do a review of our product? We have emailed you for an opportunity
Thank you for the kind words! I replied to your email and look forward to working with you 🇺🇸🤘
SLAM A DRAWER! Lol
Great idea, remove all draw stops, you know, the things that stop it falling over if tilted or a few drawers left open.
Do you see a lot of heavy tool boxes tip over?
@jimmysgarage9068 There's an entire subsection of CZcams videos dedicated to it, all it takes is one side to raise half an inch while moving it, all draws slide open and it falls over
@@BigDaddyButthead90 point well taken but I'll be taking delivery of two roller cabinets and a top in about 3 weeks. I'll remove those plastic strips too. If I move it I'll close it and lock it. Problem solved.
@@chiph1841there is a soft detent and push a little harder and there is a hard detent that takes a good bit of effort to open
