Unboxing US General Series 3 56 Inch Toolbox- Roller Cab / Hutch / Locker

In this video I go pick up my Harbor Freight US General Series 3 56” Roller Cabinet, 56” Hutch, and 22” Series 3 Locker. We get it all put together, go over all the details, and review the damage made to the toolbox in shipping.

Had a nickel size dent on my hutch very unnoticeable until you point it out but called my local harbor freight where I got it. Manager was super nice he understood I didn’t want to return it cause at the time they were back ordered at least 3 months. So he went ahead and gave me 150$ store credit and gave me the track membership for free for the year. Couldn’t complain with that. Got my icon work station hutch light basically for free and managed to have one of the guys at work do some minor paint-less dent repair on the box. And Harbor freight kept a customer. Just give your local HF a call they will most likely help you out the best they can. Obviously a dent like in the video. Is to extreme for me to ignore .

Man nobody needs to spend 20k on tool boxes. This is a great setup and you'll love it. The shop definitely needed it!

My Series 3 56" arrived perfect and dent free. It had wood and polystyrene protecting every surface. It seems like quite a bit more than yours came with. I ordered mine in April 2025, so maybe HF reacted to the damage complaints.

just bought mine this past monday for $640 with the 300 discount! I am happy it’s a beautiful box and later on I’ll add other stuff to it. I don’t make enough to but those other boxes so I’m just happy there’s options for the ones that don’t wanna spend lots on tool boxes. also went with the grey.

I love Cody's thinking! Now the dent is hid.

[OneReferralAway]

I would have lost my mind on that dent!

I’m a apprentice for a ford diesel master tech and his snap on tool box quality seems the same as us general quality. Can’t wait to get mine, same setup as yours but white

I've gotten a 42 and a 56 lower, the 56 has some glide issues, but nothing too serious just very loose maybe needs extra rivets or something, my 42 upper came with tiny dent, but they did give me a discount for it, so it's all good, well worth the money.

Everyone is saying shipping but the boxes/packaging is not damaged. I have seen two and the packaging was perfect. One had a folded up bottom flange, shipping wasn't the cause. They leave the factory damaged. The Chinese are not going to toss out a box because of damage. It will be packaged up and shipped.
For a entry level box, i agree. You didn't pay for quality, you paid for tool storage. Personally it would drive me nuts. At the very least contact HF and get some money back.
Having said all that, Congratulations on a great looking set up. Love the color.
Edit to add, they make a 4' motion activated light for the hutch.

my series 3 had a dent from shipping in the back. they said they could order me a replacement or give me 20% off. I bought it with a coupon so I got 30% off total on a series 3 72" box. as long as the damage isn't functional wgaf if the price is right

[mooseknucklegarage]

Why wouldn’t you take it back and get a new roller box? Every time I opened that bottom drawer I would be pissed 🤣

[stoamnyfarms]

This is exactly what I'm planning om getting for work, even the color. Keep us updated on how it holds up.

9:02 Thank you for mentioning the handle screw size. Just unboxed mine, and they are missing…

[RonRichards-vf]

Sorry that happened to you. I've seen posts where people are saying you should open the box at the store to check for shipping damage. Harbor Freight needs to package them better

I have put a mini kitchen in one of my side cabinets.

[mach]

why not call Harbor Freight and get it replaced or get some money back? More expensive than the Husky from Home Depot I think.

It seems it's common for some drawers to not open evenly. Meaning when opened all the way, the right side slides completely out but the left side needs to be pulled so it'll slide out another inch or so. Do you have this issue? I have a brand new 56" which does this, and a coworker's 72" also does it

I did lube the crap out of all the rails and tracks, and the drawers slide like butter. Some just don't open evenly

[thesneak]

so how do i get ahold of two of the smaller drawers to swap out a big one....

[backinthehobbycards]

I really love the Slate Grey color on these boxes. I just recently purchased the Slate Grey 5-draw tool cart with the matching side tray. I wish I could of afforded to buy a bigger box but at the time when I got the tool cart it was on sale for $179. Maybe in the future I can upgrade to a nicer box like the one you showed in this video. I have been happy with the US General tool boxes and I am sure you will enjoy this for years to come. I only wish they would sell all the accessories in slate gray. The cup holder. the power strip, the paper towel holder or even the spaller side try that you can stick to the box was in EVERY color but the slate gray.

These 56" roller cabinets will be on sale for $600 on 12/23/24 as part of the 12 Days of Xmas sale..
