i have the 36″ husky combo for my home tool box and i like it. I think i payed $300 for it brand new. I have a Snap on KRL1033 74″ for my shop box which is awesome but unnecessary for a DIY box. the price for the big name boxes aren’t justified when they’re going to be used just as a home box (i bought my snap on for $8000). The only thing i had problems with on the husky was the lock. It sometimes didn’t want to catch all the drawers. The boxes aren’t very deep either but for a home box that really didn’t matter to me. Other than that i like it. I personally think they’re better than craftsman boxes. the edges on the husky boxes are rolled unlike craftsman which is just straight sheet metal so the husky boxes seem to be a bit stronger. The roller bearings are smooth and the finish is good. for a home/DIY box i would recommend it.

I have 2 24″ stackable Husky chests. I love them. The ball bearings seem to slide alot better than the craftman chests I’ve used and they’re usually a bit less expensive than craftsman
