We were very pleased that the right bottom drawer is even tall enough for our cordless circular saw.ġ00 lb. This extra space means you could store your entire collection of cordless hand tools in the bottom of this chest. Even after storing several of our favorite husky hand tools, we’ve still got a ton of space left in this top drawer.Įxtra Height Bottom Drawers – Both the left (5.8″ high) and right (9.1″ high) bottom drawers on this chest are taller than the others. This extra-wide drawer means you can store all your most commonly-used tools in one easy-access location, and you can even store tools that normally have to go up on pegboard or sit upright in the corner – like a 4′ level. The 21.4″ deep drawers on this chest feel simply massive - especially the extra large top drawer, which is next up on our list.Ħ1.4″ Wide Top Drawer – We love that Husky elected to put one massive 61.4″ x 21.1″ top drawer on this chest, rather than dividing it into two. While these are plenty functional, large tools sometimes had to be stored either at an awkward angle or not at all. There are several really stand-out features about this particular tool chest that drove our decision-making in selecting it for review.Ģ1.1″ Deep Drawers – Our existing tool chest of another brand sported 16″ and 12″ deep (front to back) drawers. It’s way faster for the factory to cut perfectly sized liners en masse than it is for every individual tool chest buyer to do it themselves.Įverything Else We Love About Husky’s 66″ Tool Chest Workbench I’d guess the pre-cut liners save about 30-60 minutes of set up time. Liners also prevent scratching the paint on the interior of the drawers, making the tool chest look nice for years longer. They keep your tools in place when opening drawers or rolling the chest around, which significantly quiets operation. Adding drawer liners is a must in any toolbox. The second is that Husky includes black foam pre-cut drawer liners for every drawer in the chest. This means the chest is up and running in about 5 minutes. The only thing that has to be added is the handle on the right side of the chest, which affixes with six hex-head screws (allen wrench included). There are two things we loved about unboxing this tool chest.įirst, the chest is essentially fully assembled underneath all that cardboard. Because both Ethan and I were involved in getting it out of the van, there wasn’t anyone to photo journal the spectacle for us! First Impressions on Unboxing (Mad props to Home Depot’s forklift operator!)Īt home, we had to get creative getting it out of the van, but essentially we just slid it out. We had to remove the back two rows from our 12-passenger van to fit this bench, and negotiating it into the van without damage was a feat. Here’s some of The Home Depot’s super helpful crew making it happen! In order to move this beast we needed Ethan, four Home Depot workers, and eventually a forklift to help us get it into our van. Our first impression: it’s four hundred pounds! That’s heavier than even two of us together could handle. This chest is a special order from The Home Depot, which means it has to be delivered to the store and picked up. Normally our first impressions of a tool come when we unbox it in the workshop. And of course we always strive for objectivity in our reviews. Remember, we’ll always be up front with you when we’re receiving a free product, compensation, or both. The Home Depot is both providing the tools for free and compensating us however, the opinions we express here are our own. Stuff Lawyers Made Us Say: We’re partnering with The Home Depot to provide candid reviews of tools from a wide variety of manufacturers.
