Concerns me they put a third row of wheels to support the middle.
Interesting… Haven’t noticed that before

I seen these at my HD Black Friday which are very nice boxes but the price was out of my range so I went with the 52 inch Husky instead.
My God, getting the top to the smaller one in my shop was epic. This thing? No way!!! Too bad, it looks awesome!
Yea, people were not buying them for the 800 dollar price. A lot of them are still floating around store inventory.
The Milwaukee box is so much nicer in my opinion. It seems a whole lot more thought was put into that tool box. They are nearly sold out of my 5 surrounding Home Depots while the DeWalts sit idle.
I’m thinking the price of that Dewalt will come down if they don’t sell as much as the Milwaukee?

I hope so. I’m going to talk to a manager tomorrow. The three stores I’ve been in this week all have them taking up WAY too much real-estate. I’m sure they will work with me to get them out.
I’m wondering if the middle row of casters isn’t so much for structural support as it is for mobility. Are the outside four corner casters all swivel? If so I would think the middle casters would be static so you can spin the thing in a tighter area.

As much of a fanboy as I am for team yellow, I agree with Handyman. I think that Milwaukee R&D spent a bit more time on their tool chest from the pegboard back to the outlet strip on the side. Small gripes I know but it makes me wonder why DeWalt didn’t think of them as well.

Don’t forget the soft close drawers, single locking drawer for safety items, and locking laptop work platform drawer that the Milwaukee has over the DeWalt.
I wish the deep drawers on the bottom extended out further as well.

same here Kruton I love my Dewalt brand but I was kinda disappointed with this box especially the price, I just hoped they would’ve put a little more innovation into it.

They do. There is a screw on the inside of the drawer that needs to be removed to allow them to fully extend.
That’s good to know. I didn’t realize that.RickyMcGrath wrote:
