I need to either get a second craftsman cabinet & chest or one big one.

Has anyone heard of this company?

Looks like a new, direct import. Act real interested and ask the guy if he has two.

Looks a lot like the HF ones, but you can't tell roller slider quality or steel gauge from a photo.

Doesn't say where they are made however

I have their 41" model; very nice ... lots of space for tools. Slides are smooth, detents secure, locks are high quality and same key fits both top & bottom chests. I kept my Craftsman chest too.

Never heard of them before but the picture looks like it has six wheels without suspension. For a six-wheeler I'd really like to see two with suspension. Getting past that, if it's decent construction and in good shape, $700 sounds like a deal for a box that size.

Speaking of deals, have you checked out the local pawn shop?

The crate on mine said "Made in China".

Looks like these deals have been seen before ... see link below. Price seems too good for a new box. Make sure the seller is legit.

I was actually surprised at the quality of the harbor freight top of the line box. Id probably put one at my home if I needed some space. Felt very solid and smooth, although unloaded isnt really a test.

I agree. HF's US General line makes a very nice cabinet that will do very well for the home user and even mechanic.

The people on CraigsList have not gotten back to me. I contacted the company that makes them and the list is about triple. He said he has heard of some fraud on CraigsList.

I finally got an email about this tool chest, but they provide a website to go to and get it there. Not sure its legit.

It isn't.
