INCREDIBLE ROLLING WORKBENCH!!!
I have to say that this storage workbench is awesome. The opted for the matte blue finish and it doesnt disappoint. Lots of storage, roller glide soft close drawers work great and the 6 wheels holding this heavy box on the ground swivel flawlessly. What i will say is Huskey needs to upgrade the side handle and bolts that hold it to the work bench, its not really welded well, and the metal is thin. The bolts which hold the handle to the box are too small for the holes they fit into. The bolts have no washers and leave room for them to not sit properly. I think the handle was made somewhere else. The work bench is deaigned and made solid, but this handle is flimsy. I opted not to install it akd just move the work bench into place and lock the wheels. Also the drawer liners do not grip the drawer well, so as you close the drawer quick it catches the slow closure pull and brings the drawer in slowly however no matter what i do the drawer liner slides. I may just go back to using indoor/outdoor carpeting. Sure it may be 1/4 thick but the bulk of my tools will fit perfectly even in the shallow drawers. As for the delivery, I will say that there are 3 tiers to choose from, I took the $99 one and the company rolled it right knto my garage on a bolted together pallat. I was contacted by mail for a 5-7 delivery time on a specific date. At 7 i called and they said it would be delivered the following week. I called the following week and they said it was scheduled for a Tuesday now but the driver would reachnout the night before with a time. On Monday evening they left a voicemail with a 4 hour delivery window. They called an hour into that window with a 45 min arrival time. Once they showed up i watched as the one guy rolled this beast off onto the liftgate of the truck with a pallat jack, I thought for sure as he dropped the lifegate he was going to tilt the box off and onto the ground cause the pallat jack ends were catching on the truck. It was tight but he worked it into position and finally got it to clear. He rolled it up my driveway and into the garage. Tuned it around and slid out the pallat jack. No papers to sign, he loaded up and drove off. I unbolted the half broken pallat and removed it. The pallat is designed to let the wheels rest on the floor so there is no worry about lifting anything. I was shown one company was doing the delivery, but another actually brought it. Overall the product is a 9/10, delivery was a 6/10 and overall i am happy with the item.

    Lots of storage, the top drawer is deep enough to be able to have my sockets stand up in a rail. build quality in good just one issue with the top drawer, it pulls out a little further on one side than the other so when you open it all the way it will tweak sideways a little. The rest of the drawers are fine.The paint is nice and the wood top is nice. I put a piece of 1/4 inch rubber mat on top to protect the wood. I probably wont use the elevation of the wood top but its a nice feature.

    I've had this box now for about a month and so far there's no issues as far as construction goes. With 6 caster wheels, four being lock type, this box rolls easily even when pushing it flush against a wall and pulling away. All drawers slide smoothly with the "soft close" feature working fine. As far as color, this is personal preference and if you like the black matt finish, which is more of a semi-gloss, satin finish, then you'll no doubt admire the looks of this box. As far as drawer size, there are too many small 2 inch drawers, plenty of 3 inch, but no 4 or 5 inch small drawers which are needed otherwise any tools thicker than 3 inch, like chargers and large hammers, ended up stuffed in the bottom drawers on top of other tools. The adjustable wood top rises and lowers fine although this is a feature I won't be using but again, this is up to the tech and how (s)he utilizes this box. With 19 gauge thick construction this makes the Husky not as stout as other higher end boxes but then you're not paying double, to ten times the tool truck prices so it's a fair trade off. Overall the box is more than adequate to handle the day to day rigors that mechanics place on it. A note to Husky; If possible, introduce a retro fit kit or even just offer the correct drawer sizes to add 4 and 5 inch tall drawers. By removing two, 2 inch drawers to equal one, 4 inch tall drawer, or removing one 2, and one 3 inch drawer to equal one 5 inch tall drawer would be super-helpful! I removed one, 2 inch small drawer which was above a second 2 inch drawer, that gave me 4 inches tall working height but with a drawer-front missing, this was unsightly so it was reinstalled. Thank's!

      I had the 52"×18" older version Husky box with normal style closing drawers, and I must say this box is well worth it. I have so much extra room in each drawer because it's so deep, I'm going to have to buy more tools just to fill it back up! Very pleased keep doing good work Husky, and thank you HomeDepot for selling them.

      Terrible Experience! Don't and I repeat Don't Have it Delivered! Check for Keys!
      Received this beautiful piece of equipment yesterday and had the most absurd delivery process and scariest process of ordering a product online ever! The bonus is, and short story is: It's locked and the key is locked inside the top drawer! This has by far been the absolute worst delivery/online ordering experience I've ever had and the most absurd lack of solution-oriented problem solving responses from the customer service team! Here's the details: I hear some yelling in my driveway yesterday and a truck backing up. I see this big truck about to hit my driveway and scrape it all up with it's tailgate (my driveway has a slope) and drive over my curb into my yard and I run out to stop them. One guy is directing and the other is driving like he just got his license and has never backed up a truck. I run out to stop them both and show them they are about to scrape my driveway and they tell me they can't deliver it if they can't get it up my driveway with the truck. I ask them if they have a dolly or a pallet jack and if they are aware that this 600lb behemoth 72" piece of equipment is on wheels and they looked at me like I was speaking another language. So they park the truck leaking oil in front of my driveway and open up the rear door. It's one guy!!! Driver is 70 years old and is sitting in the truck. They have both a dolly and a pallet jack. Luckily the unit easily wheels to the tailgate and he starts to lower the gate. In the process of lowering it, the tailgate was jerky and sloped and the uneducated guy holding on to it with one arm let it fall right off the side of the tailgate right in front of me! BAM!!! It lands on its back and then that's where the fun just begins! The guy wants to argue with me as to why he wanted to scrape up my driveway and back the truck up it, I tell him kindly that it was his negligence and carelessness that caused it to roll right off the tailgate, NOT the lack of being able to back up into my driveway and we argue. He tries to lift the unit upright and push it up my driveway but couldn't even budge it. I try too, and we can't do it. Luckily two painters are working at my house and the four of us plus my wife are able to get it upright. Now the tricky part-pushing it up a sloped driveway. So it took all five of us to push it up the driveway and put it in my garage. I open the very flimsy "packaging" which is just a thin cardboard box around it banded and find some damage to the back of the unit and the nice wooden worktop is cracked. I can live with it-just cosmetic, so we wheel it to the back of my garage and its up against the wall anyway. So they leave and I'm pulling on all the drawers-locked. The key, which based on all the other Husky workbenches I've seen is in the top drawer. I can shine my flashlight inside the crack and see paperwork and a plastic bag in there, but everything is locked up! I call the carrier-no answer. Call Home Depot customer service, they give me a nice credit for the damage which I'm appreciative of, Kendria was amazing by the way, but her hands are tied on getting a key. The key is a tubular lock, A2003. Apparently its newer and different from a lot of the other locks on Husky Equipment. I go to the store looking for a key and they don't have one for any of the Husky units they have on display. I called customer service again, spoke to a supervisor Annette who was wonderful and she says she'll put in a request/ticket to get a key made or ordered from the manufacturer. I'm told that due to the virus going on that the manufacturer may not be in the office. She said that the mfg should send an email. The Husky HD customer service department communicates directly with Husky the mfg or the lock mfg directly to get the key apparently. Mind you I've got a 6', 600lb massive piece of equipment in my garage that I can't use, that I paid $1,300 for including tax and waited two weeks for. I wait an hour or so for an email and it doesn't come. So... I spoke to Ceasar in Customer Service, 888-434-8759 and also used the chat feature for help by texting 386-98 and nobody could help. Casear offered $50 for my inconvenience which was an insult. He says that the mfg usually responds in 5-7 days and blames the virus for the lag. Now I'm stuck. I asked Annette and will continue to pursue just getting a locksmith or another store to let me borrow a key to unlock the stupid thing. This is so frustrating and unacceptable! Seems like HD has no empowerment other than to throw money at a problem. I just want my unit to be unlocked! Is that so unfair to ask?

      It was hard to give this product 4 stars because it really is a FANTASTIC workbench and has been paramount in getting me where I need to be with ALL of my projects. The fact that I can roll it out into my driveway and use it as a feed table with tools in arms reach is just amazing. The fact that I can lift the top and use clamps while doing work is just fantastic. My one issue with the product is incredibly niche but an issue none the less. I was trying to charge a PS4 controller in the usb port along the side and it would not charge!! The usb port is able to charge my jbl speaker fine but for some reason I am unable to charge my PS4 controller on the bench.

          Probably one of the nicest boxes for the money compared to others of the same size. Minor nuisances such as difficulty unlocking the main box and drawers that need an extra push to get behind the locks. Several times I will lock it and one drawer is still unlocked. It's not Snap on quality, but for a grand it does the same job at a fraction of the price.

          DRAWER DIMENSIONS ARE NOT CORRECT (SEE CORRECT DIMENSIONS BELOW). This is an excellent mobile bench with great value for the money. Yes, it is heavy duty although I would have liked to have 16 ga metal on the exterior as opposed to 18 ga metal. I actually use my drill motor on slow speed to crank the table up and down, but it is on a very low clutch setting. I know roughly when to stop prior to the clutch activating and then do the final adjustment / closing by hand to avoid damage. DRAWER DIMENSIONS ARE NOT CORRECT. I personally measured them and have listed the actual usable dimensions here. You're welcome! Depth (21.97" listed) = 21 3/4" usable Width (16" listed) = 14 7/8" usable Width (49.61" listed) = 48 1/2" usable Width (32.1" listed) = 31" usable Height (2" listed) = 1 9/16" usable at the back and gets a little taller as you go forward Height (3.05" listed) = 2 1/2" usable Height (5.14" listed) = 4 5/8" usable Height (7.83" listed) = 7 3/8" usable

            Workbench arrived undamaged. Quality is excellent. Allows me to store all my primary tools in one location but also gives me mobility to locate them for convenient access. Only issue is it arrived 3 days later than originally scheduled which impacted my work schedule. This needs to be improved.

            Very impressed
            This Husky tool chest is a great value for the money. It holds a lot of tools. The fit and finish is excellent. The flat black color looks fantastic. The butcher block top raises and lowers with a hand crank that also reveals a hidden storage area under the butcher block top. It also has a built in power strip with 2 usb ports that comes in handy with todays electronics. It also comes with drawer liners which are a nice touch. Overall im very inpressed with this 72” Husky tool chest it was delivered in pristine condition and I couldnt be happier!!

              Just purchased this workbench in blue on Oct. 2019. Was fearful it might show up damaged but arrived in perfect condition, rolling on its casters which made it easy to load. The bench is quite heavy but that speaks to its high quality construction. The drawers all have smooth action and I really like the soft close function. I love the large top drawer as it holds all of my sockets very well and can use organizers that allow them to stand vertically. The wood top looks great and will allow me to mount my Dewalt rotating vise and the top raises easily with the vise on top. The locks work very smoothly and lock all of the drawers effortlessly. My only two complaints (which are minor) are that I would like to see the drawer mats cut slightly bigger to fit the drawers a little better and the bolts for the handle are rather cheap.

                Love everything about it .Carlo dropped it off at my shop door, all I had to do was uncrate it and roll it into my shop. Ready to go right out of the box. Especially love the adjustable worktop feature plus it has extra storage underneath worth the money. Definitely would recommend to pay extra for having it shipped to your house as this bad boy is pretty heavy. A+ Thanks Home Depot, Todd

                  I would give this 5 stars. but the delivery process was a nightmare. Otherwise The workbench is great I was especially pleased to see that when you lift the top up, there are some great full length bins over the drawers that are great for holding long rulers and levels. I suspected they would be there from the pictures online, but wasn't sure. I just wish they included some soft mats for these bins. I actually got my 6' level in there , but the top would not loser completely` One note, I still have not tried lifting the tip with it loaded. The pallet was custom built to support the workbench with the installed wheels about 1/4" above the ground. I was worried and wondering how I would get it off the pallet, but the pallet easily disassembled with hex head bit or an allen wrench. GREAT PALLET! and I got some great connection hardware after disassembling it which only took 10-15 minutes. Now the real challenge, trying to figure out what tools to put in put in which drawer.

                    This is a major upgrade to my garage workshop. Drawers and top lift mechanism function smoothly. Lots of storage options. Raising the top made it easy yo mount a vise. (Make sure that the vise mounting bolts, nuts and washers do not interfere with metal structure parts when the top is fully lowered.) It would be helpful if there were unpacking instructions and a straight Allen wrench that can be mounted in a drill chuck.With the provided L shaped wrench, it will be a tedious job to unscrew the 12 bolts holding the pallet together. If you don't have one, cut off the long side of the L shaped wrench.

                    I'm impressed with the quality for the price. I know some people complain of the damage on delivery. But even snap on makes those mistakes. Mine came in perfect. Seems to hold a fairly decent amount of weight. I've loaded it up pretty good. The top wood table seems pretty solid and raises at least a foot. My only complaint was the mats would slide around when closing the drawers. But nothing to cry over, a little spray adhesive cures that. Drawer space is great.

                    This tool box looks great! Very little assembly required, I just put the handle on and the drawer liners. The table top goes up, slowly. I put a 10mm allen key in my drill and it goes up and down much faster now. There is storage space under the table top as well. There are separate locks for the upper set of drawers and lower set. Rolls smoothly, even with all my tools in it. The table top it very nice, I wish it was a little deeper. The external outlets are great for quick access and charging inside the box while locked but my Milwaukee battery charger is too tall to charge a battery in the top drawer.

                    I haven't had the box long but I love it so far. Although it has too many shallow drawers but I manage with them just fine. The adjustability of the top is fantastic. When you raise the top , there is additional storage... but... could use to be a bit deeper by an additional 1-2 inches. A stainless top option would be great as well. Color options would be a good thing to. Bottom line it's not a bad box at all for the price. Just needs a few upgrades and some options and or additions. G. Colpitts

                    Easy to assemble (especially since it came pre-assembled) other than the 4 bolts to attach the handle. Utilized the space under the top for my pry bars and large whenches. Plenty of drawer space to organize my tools. The men at the diesel mechanic shop, where I work, were really impressed, not only with the features and size, but at the price I bought it for. Nice job with this Husky box!

                    I love the adjustable bench height, it's a topic of conversation in my shop. The powder coated finish hides finger prints really well and seems quite durable. The castor's are a decent grade and the brakes work well but at least one set needs a swivel lock because moving the box from job to job is a pain in the rear as the box "dog walks" while pushing it around and can collide whith objects in the shop. I did not get all the hardware that was supposed to come with the box like the crank handle and the cord wrap guides, but a quick call to customer service resolved the issue quickly and got the parts in a week. HD has a lot of negative reviews because of shipping issues in transit. Check your order over and be through. My box was well packed and in mint condition. I love it!

                    Just picked this up yesterday, since it's not carried in stores I had it shipped to my local store where I had it unboxed and was able to make sure it was just what I wanted. This also allowed me to make sure there was no damage from shipping, if there had been I could have just returned it right then and there without having to deal with return shipping. I have to say I'm impressed, the soft close drawers are great and work even better with some weight in them. I honestly have no complaints and feel that this is the best value in this size box on the market. As you can see from my picture that it's a lot more black than their pictures show but I don't mind. I am using this as more of a base tool chest and though I'll never use the feature of the lifting top it was able to lift my fully loaded top box without any issue.

                      Bought this to replace a full size mechanics tool box. I was looking for something that was large but didn't have the height that most toolboxes have. This one fit the bill exactly. Had it shipped to store as some reviewers suggested to make sure there wasn't any shipping damage. The store associates were very helpful in loading into my truck. Taking the boxing and packaging off took a little bit of time but its a good thing which ensured it was packaged and shipped securely. The drawers are smooth and the slow close feature is nice. The crank to raise the table top is nice as well. You can store rarely used large items in there. One recommendation I have is to get rubber mat of some sort to protect the tablet top. Bonus it comes with draw mats that keep items from sliding around. Solid product all around

                      I went to the store to pick up the Husky 72" tool box, they were not able to load it with the forklift. They wound up unpacking it outside the store and everything was in pristine condition. I made sure all the drawers operated correctly some not as smooth as the others but they did work. Got the box home and the next day it was packed with tools. I love the soft close drawer feature especially if the drawers are filled with heavy tools they don't slam shut like most tool boxes do that have ball bearing slides.I love the crank up top with tool storage space underneath, no wasted space in this tool box. The only thing I would like to see is a top box that matches with lots of drawers.All in all like the powder coat industrial finish. I actually had to reinforce my floor in my shed with 3/4" plywood. Very heavy box empty.

                      I read the horror stories about these things being damaged upon delivery, especially when delivered to your house. Guess I got lucky because mine arrived in excellent shape. The drawers feel great and the casters are very sensitive to the slightest nudge. The thing moves easily. Maybe that’s because I’m used to 12 year old Harbor Freight stuff. Anyway, I did mount a Harbor Freight vase to the top. Word of caution, though, watch where you drill. I ended up using carriage bolts to secure the vice and when I lined everything up for measurements I didn’t consider the fact that the bolts stick through the bottom of the bench top and if you drill too closely to the front edge of the bench, you’ll impede the bench tops ability to sit flush. Remember this is a raisable bench top and you’ll raise it up to drill it. However make sure that when you go to lower it, any bolts/nuts don’t impede it closing...like mine. I’ll live with it, it’s not a big deal. I have a 1/4 gap now but no biggie. I’m very pleased with it and would buy again!
