We've got one of the Masterforce boxes in the shop at work and it is nice. I love the lever latch system on the drawers, it keeps them shut but lets the drawers be super smooth to open and close.

I've had a pair of the Masterforce 41" bottom boxes and one of the 41" top boxes for about 3 or 4 years now, and would recommend them to anyone. They've really held up well in the industrial setting in which I work. In that time, I've only had 3 complaints about them:
1 - The goofy colors (Mine are green) make it really hard to buy side boxes/cabinets to match, though Menards has enough of them to where there are options; just limited options.
2 - I've got the 18" deep versions and they're not deep enough. Ignoring the obvious storage space difference that makes, I'm always a bit leery of them tipping over. Especially considering I have one of them set up as a workbench with a vise bolted to the top. Even though I took the casters off that one and have it stting on a 1/2" plywood sheet on the concrete, I have to be mindful of it when I start reefing on something. It does start to tip a lot sooner than I'd like.
3 - Spare parts are not available. It took me 3 weeks of back and forth with the guys at the store, the guys at corporate, and finally a guy who spoke broken english at their supplier to get a couple of locks that were keyed alike and a couple of spare drawer slides to keep around. The new ones are 6" deeper, so the slides won't be the same, but hopefully they at least use the same locks, so if I ever need more there's a slight chance of them being obtainable.

I’m in the market for a 72 box and I’m torn between this one and the extreme 72x25 now I saw you had a video a few years back on the extreme, question is what one felt better? I see the extreme is a bit more pricey but doesn’t look like it’s any better, neither of the local hardware stores have the boxes in stock so I have to online order it which sucks when it’s this much money so any info helps!

The Menards box feels a lot more professional and it feels heavier

Their special order got to order them online

They're both nice boxes I like Menards a little bit better
