Bringing home my SxS from the dealer from repair, dammmit I had an empty pickup truck bed......so impulse buy was a 2024 Grizzly 700 4x4 ATV. I hate driving around wasting an empty bed!

HAH!

Something I was wondering, since I have several Craftsman tool cabinets with drawers as well.......do you guys ever put labels on each drawer so you know what's in them?

I'm probably going to go ahead and do that on mind to save time when I'm looking for something.

Yes I do put labels on them.

For example:

LITTLE TOOLS
SMALL TOOLS
BIG TOOLS
OLD TOOLS
BROKEN TOOLS
RUSTY TOOLS
FORGOTTEN TOOLS

When I purchased my last Craftsman tool box in the store they had magnetic labels . I bought a pack and it makes finding tools so much quicker . And by being labeled if you have the discipline to put tools back they are never lost . A win win .

Birds of a feather...I have the same labels. Some match perfectly the tools in the drawer, others not so much, but they help...it's not often I open the wrong drawer. For example, I know I also have ratchets & bit sets in the drawer labeled "1/4" drive sockets". So, not the actual items the labels say, but somehow related..

That said, I've often wondered why I didn't just use masking tape and a sharpie.

From Home Depot, delivered, packed very well, ready to set in about $300 per unit. Husky heavy duty, soft close drawers and came with drawer liners. I would put these cabinets up against any i have seen and I saw many at Barrett Jackson in Jan.

I only paid $500 for this one, but I did have to give it a fresh paint job to make it look this good. As it was left outside under a porch roof, but in the sun, so it faded quite badly. I have to stand on the small stool in front of it to see in the top, and I am 6' tall.

$300?, They are $630 at the local HD, how do you get those for $300?

[Rtrorkt]

I guess I hit the sale. Remembering $325 for the drawer units and around $425 for the tall cabinet. Couldn’t be happier. The Husky HD is well made.
