Justin Dow... Awesome video brother. A lot of people say they can't see paying that much for a new toolbox no matter what brand it is so they will just buy a used box. What they probably aren't aware of is used toolboxes do not have a warranty.. New toolboxes from Snap on, Mac and Matco (etc) do have a lifetime warranty. Think about that.. It might not happen for a while but sooner or later you will probably have a problem with the toolbox like drawer slides, key lock, wheels, hutch lid struts, paint, etc. If you have a warranty it gets fixed, no warranty you're screwed. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with buying used toolboxes because I have bought my share of used ones, I'm just saying be aware their is no warranty.

You could always make one yourself with either 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch MDF. Build it like any other cabinet, leaving the bottom open so you have the rubber mat on the top of the rolling cabinet to work on, or make it with a bottom and just trim the rubber mat to finish. Pocket holes and glue will be strong enough for this project. Make some doors, or just leave the front open, add in some LED strip lights and you've made your own hutch. Another option is to get metal pegboards from Amazon in your choice of color for the rear wall of your home made hutch. Another option would be to look up Michael Alm here on KZitem, he makes a lot of patterned plywood designs using the edges of plywood. Check out these tambour doors for his workshop cabinets using that design, it looks amazing. kzitem.info/news/bejne/2auG0GivgZyTlWk You can then search KZitem for the best way to paint MDF (yes, it can be finicky) and paint it to match your rolling cabinet.

Yeah, it’s a nice box for sure. I just think they’re hitting kind of a middle market that’s tough to capture. What I mean is the boxes are a little expensive for a DIY person like myself, yet they don’t quite have the reputation and desirability for the professional. So it’s like a DIYor have to decide if they want to spend that much on a box when the US general or a cobalt or husky is going to do them just fine. And a professional has to decide if it’s worth taking the risk when they know they can just get Matco or snap on or something and have exactly what they want and no it’s gonna last and have a truck guy that will warrantee everything.

Besides color options, what the difference between the Icon and the US General boxes? Also, would you recommend the Icon box over the Milwaukee tool box? I'd really appreciate it if you could get back to me on some of these questions. Thanks.

To me the biggest problem the Icon line has is price. Someone in the market for a box like that will rather spend $1 or $2k on a used snap on or matco box than a new Icon, and Marketplace is littered with them. I bought my snap on box for $700 and the guy i bought it from still had the receipt for $5k when he bought it new. Kind of like the problem the H3 Hummer had. People didn't buy them because they advertised to the world that you could not afford the H2.
