Customer Reviews for Milwaukee 61 in. 11-Drawer/1-Door 22 in. D Mobile Workbench with Sliding Pegboard Back Wall in Red/Black

I absolutely Love it!

The workbench is great for the money, it’s good value. Delivery from this Oceanside Home Depot was the best. The delivery guys assembled it, placed it behind my palm tree, and I was able to pull it right into the garage with no assistance needed. For a 400 lb tool bench, I couldn’t be happier with the service. No trash, no pallets, no casters to assemble. Didn’t have to call neighbors for help. I tip my hat to Home Depot on this one.

Impressive tool box/work bench combo. Instead of going up and narrow like other tool boxes, at around 5’ long with this one you go wide and low. Still has the same tool carrying capacity. The 2-tone textured powder coating is surprisingly good for a unit at this price range. Amazing paint job. I compared it to the Husky version, also 61” long. Both units are quite similar overall. The Husky has a slightly different upper drawer arrangement. I much prefer the Milwaukee’s divided upper drawer. Some people may actually prefer the Husky’s longer single piece drawer. The Husky has USB ports in the power outlet and an upper tray for the peg board (I wouldn’t use that anyway). The colors are certainly more appealing in the Milwaukee and the Husky costs $100.00 more. Listen to reviewers. This thing is HEAVY. Frame is 2”X2”X1/8” angle iron mounted on 6 heavy casters. It’s no joke. Local home depot had one fully assembled on display, and I have a truck, so it was a no brainer to get it at the store and save $$ on delivery. They had to load it with a fork lift. It took 4 guys to unload it comfortably at home. Three guys can do it with some effort. Two guys...no way unless you have a low rider truck. If you remove the casters and drawers it might be easier to muscle it. Depending on your situation, it might be worth it just having it delivered at home. And yea...those darn stickers.! Get a hair dryer and adhesive remover because those stickers will annoy you greatly. Very pleased with the product. You get a lot for the money. It looks and feels like something it could cost a lot more. I have gotten nothing bit compliments.

Needed more tool storage for all Construction equipment and this was my choice.Very well built everything is as described, solid tool bench only had it for a couple of weeks still getting it set up. Could see my self getting a other one down the line for a enclosed work trailer.

Works great !

Milwaukee quality as you would expect. Very pleased with it. Comes fully assembled. Rolls easy even when loaded.

Great work bench! Milwaukee products never let me down

It looks good it's spacious.... Plenty of different sized drawers for whatever tools you have!

I love this workbench. It has solid construction and the soft close heavy duty drawer slides are impressive. Very little assembly was required.

Excellent, high quality materials. Paint is thick and metal feels solid as well. Definitely recommend if you can afford it. Much better than the "General" serial from Harbor Freight.

This is a good looking tool cabinet. However it becomes painfully obvious there's a lack of quality control on Milwaukee's part. One of the top left drawer's cabinet guides is misaligned. The depth of one guide is not the same as the other. This causes the drawer to not close evenly and thus doesn't close correctly, which causes problems when key locking the top drawers. When I found the drawer difficult to close I removed it and also realized the inside paint job is not completely done. I got say I expected better quality from Milwaukee, specially with products that are just not easy to return. I lifted this cabinet to a second floor so I will not be returning it. Couldn't be more disappointing.

I bought the work bench off of the floor at my local Home Depot. The bench is heavy duty and high quality. The self closure feature of the drawers is excellent. The extra storage plus sturdy work surface was just what I needed. I didn't think I would use the peg board but it is useful to have frequently used tools ready for quick access. Not enough to lower my rating but as others have said, the stickers are challenging to remove. Milwaukee should consider a different adhesive.

First I should say I have friends who have SnapOn tool boxes, and really high end boxes costing thousands! I never thought I'd be able to purchase a high end nice box until I walked into HomeDepot and saw this box. I don't possibly see how anyone could write a bad review about this box, it amazes me. But, to each his/her own. My opinion, like all Milwaukee tools and products, these people build for quality! Absolutely! I'm in the process of building a mini garage in my garage to fix my cars. The price of getting an average Audi fixed is ridiculously comical. Anything costs $500 to start. So, I used to work on my cars when I was younger so, I'm going back to that. I've already saved thousands by doing that. I needed a good toolbox because you will purchase tools when taking on fixing your car. I started purchasing the small 27" Husky toolboxes, I purchased 2 of them. I love Husky tools and such so I was really happy with the two boxes. However, I needed a third box, ... that's when I saw the Milwaukee. It was gorgeous!!! Long story short I ended up bringing back my two Husky Toolboxes and purchased the Milwaukee 61". Personally, I love this box! It perfectly fits what I would have put in the 3 27" Husky Toolboxes, just to give you an idea how much this thing can hold. Looking at the attached picture that's a picture of my box. I added a top LED light I had, I attached that to the back of the pegboard, which is extremely sturdy! Then I put down some drawer protectors on the wood top just to protect the wood. I love this toolbox!!! Much like all Milwaukee products, this thing is built to last! The metal is heavy and thick, the drawers are extremely sturdy, the build quality is amazing!!! I'm definitely passing this down to my son. I think that's what I love most about this box, this thing is built so that you use it forever! I'm trying to think of any negatives to this box and quite honestly I can't think of any. I mean I guess I could come up and complain about something but, the box is just too nice to do that. I love this thing. Honestly, if I had more space I'd probably purchase a second one, LOL! That's how much I love this thing. I hope my comments help, cheers!

Pop the pallet off, put on the grab bar, raise the pegboard and your done. Fantastic workbench. I couldn't find anything even close to its valve without spending $300-400 more. Very sturdy and moves well, brakes hold it still like it's on a foundation. I'd buy again in a heartbeat. The drawers are sturdy and close softly without your help. Comes with drawer inserts. If your reading this and thinking about it. Do yourself a favor and get it. You will thank me later.

Overall, I love it! I would definitely recommend paying for delivery. I had considered picking this up with a friend but the overall weight is around 450 lbs. The box was extremely well packaged and i simply unscrewed the pallet that it was delivered on and dropped it 1/2 inch to the casters (which were pre installed). I love the metal pegboard, the included drawer liners, and soft close drawers. I think it's a great home owners box at 20 guage steel.

I read a lot of reviews about this workbench before buying and was still impressed by the quality of it. You will need a second person to help get the castors on (I used a mobile car lift), but the rest of the setup was a breeze. I have no doubt this workbench will be in our garage for multiple generations!

I have been trying to decide between this tool cabinet and the cheaper husky brand. I feel that the Milwaukee brand is the better made and worth the additional cost. I don’t have a truck and i didn’t like how the store chained all of the cabinets together at the front of the store. There eemed to be a lot of paint damage from them banging into each other from customers looking at them. I decided to take my chance on ordering online and pay the shipping fee to have it delivered to my house. The delivery was perfect and the packing was superb in that i didn’t get any damage to the cabinet.

This tool box was a very great investment. Great price even better quality. I love it!

This workbench did not meet my expectations, it EXCEEDED my expectations! I love the heavy duty casters, the self-closing drawers, the solid work bench, and the back-wall pegboard that keeps my most often used tools at close reach. Did have some difficulty lifting the bench upright after installing casters, but that's what neighbors are for, right (definitely a two or three man lift job). The rest of the required assembly (far less than I expected) was very easy to do, even for someone like myself with only one arm to work with. Instructions were very easy to follow. I take pride in showing off my new workbench to friends and relatives because it is a very handsome addition to my garage. Each of my three, grown sons want me to put this workbench in my will to them. That will be a squabble I won't have to break up (LOL). Bottom line is, I love my new workbench. If you don't have one, GET ONE!!

This tool box and workbench are great. The build quality is very high and they perform as well or better then boxes over twice the price. I have had the tool box for about two years, and just added the workbench to complete the set. They look really good as well!

The workbench is great, I love it, good quality, arrived in great condition. The only reason for taking one star off was that they didn't include the casters washers in the hardware pack. The washers are shown in the assembly instruction manual, but were not in the package (looks like they missed it at packaging) so I ended up only bolting the casters to the cabinet and the bolt heads are only slightly larger than the holes in the casters mount, washers would've been great (especially for such a heavy workbench). I think I noticed another buyer saying the same thing and I was like, come on, that is no big deal. ... But it WAS a big deal (big enough to take the time and write all this) as the bench is so heavy, you don't want to mess with it leaning it on its side to mount/dismount casters several times while risking to damage the bench or the finish (mind you, I had no help to install it). I HAD to have it done immediately so that I can push it in the garage due to bad weather. There should be 24 washers, one small missed aspect that would otherwise have made this purchase perfect...

I own a few Snap-On boxes, but I needed something affordable for a home workshop. I think this is great. It seems really well built, the wheels lock solid, the soft close drawers mean I don't have a bunch of partially open drawers and the peg board backing proved to be much more useful than I anticipated as I found some peg board hangers and baskets laying around that I hadn't used in years. I looked at this and the Huskys they had and I'm very happy with my decision.

The mobile workbench is great, but i spent more than 1 hour trying to remove the labels off the unit. The labels talk about the featurea of the toolbox but do not peel off. The labels on the black drawers I had to peel off a sliver at a time. Get rid of the labels and replace with paper sheets that are taped on. Horrible experience with such a nice mobile workbench

If you have a lot of tools, or a variety of specialty tools as I do this toolbox/workbench is a good choice. The construction looks as good as the big name tool companies at a fraction of the cost. The casters are large and rugged and each drawer has a pre-cut foam mat. Assembly takes about 30-40 minutes and is fairly straight-forward; the only item of significance is the need for an assistant to lay the box on its side and pick it back up for caster installation.

An excellent workbench and storage cabinet. Nice that the wood counter in double sided to reverse if damaged. I added a vise and a grinding wheel have been good to go with no issues for 2 years. Planning on replacing my Craftsman Stand up tool box with the Milwaukee 52 inch stand up season.

Incredibly versatile and durable. If I could rate it 6-stars I would!

Plenty of storage, built very sturdy, good design. As others stated, this thing is heavy. over 450 lbs boxed up on a pallet. I had to unbox and disassemble in the bed of my truck to unload it with one other person. Milwaukee should rethink the stickers.. the ones on the drawers didn't come of clean at first. use a blow dryer and they come right off, no mess.

I purchased 2 for my shop, going to buy another one for home. Well worth the money.

I purchased this box to use at work, I'm a Transit bus mechanic, and I have to move my box around the shop almost three times a day. the shop was built in 1920 so it has a lot of uneven concrete with very large cracks. I have had no issues with the quality of this box in the year I have had it, i bought it because my toolbox from the tool truck finally broke down from moving it around the shop. they wanted 5k to replace it. figured i would rather buy this box multiple times then spend 5k on a box that only lasted two years.

Paid to have workbench delivered to “room of my choice”. Deliverers would not do that and left it in my garage. I told them that I had paid for room of choice. They called their superior who did not call back. They left me a number to call. First call was dropped. Second call was dropped after speaking to a representative. Finally called Home Depot directly who quickly took care of the return.
