solid built, smooth drawers, beware of the handle!,

This review is from: HOMAK BK01032101 3-Drawer Tool Box/Chest Black (Tools & Home Improvement)
for this price can't beat the quality, solidly built, very smooth drawers... Beware of the handle though, the plastic handle broke after 15 seconds the first time i loaded up and start carrying it to my car, the whole chest slammed on the ground from a carrying height (2 feet), good thing it's a solid construction, the chest didn't seem to sustain any damage...
Get a strap to carry it around (the ratcheting tarp tie-downs work great)

Get a HOMAK BK01032101 3-Drawer Tool Box/Chest Black,

This review is from: HOMAK BK01032101 3-Drawer Tool Box/Chest Black (Tools & Home Improvement)
In a side by side comparison with a Sears professional toolbox costing at least 2-3X more, I think they are very similar (some features are identical). I would say the Homak drawers "fit" when slid into the box is not quite as good as the Sears unit, the Homak drawers seem a little mushy as they hit the backstop. The Sears toolbox is a few years old and has one more drawer. When fully loaded with tools I agree with other reviewers the weight is just too much to cart very far, I usually just have the toolbox at the back of a workbench, and carry a handful of tools to where I need them. If you don't have a toolbox they are great for storing a large number of hand tools, drill bits, etc. in a small space so you can find them easily. For under $50 you get a toolbox with ballbearing slides, I don't know how these Homak toolboxes hold up over the long term though. I haven't had any problems with the Sears toolbox.

This is good enough to buy it again in red so I'll repeat that review here.
I have many smaller tools which need serious protection and organized storage
space on my bench. This and the other one filled the bill for me and at a
good price.
The Homak measures 20.5" wide by 11.75" high with the lid closed by 8.5" deep.
The metal measures 22 gauge (0.031") using a micrometer and making allowance
for the enamel. I wouldn't let it bounce around in the back of a truck day
after day. Other than that one caveat it is well-built and should tolerate
moderate abuse.
The drawers work nicely and have a storage clearance of a little under 2 inches.
The top tray has a clearance of slightly more than 4 inches with the lid closed.
This box should give many years of good service so long as one doesn't beat
the hell out of it.
