Does anyone have any experience with Homak brand tool chests and rollarounds?
I've been promised a new toolbox for my birthday, and I've been specifically
eyeing the black/gold one that's been available at Costco for the past year
or so. The one at Costco comes with both the rollaround and topbox, and they
are the big, 40" wide jobs. They seem to be made a fairly substantial gauge
metal, but do not have ball bearing slide,have bolt-on handles and the support
for the top is a simple strut rather than hydraulic (the color is a bit tacky
too,
but I can live with that).
The comparable ones from Sears or Home Depto seem to be running about
$800-$1000,
versus $500 for the Homak. Is this a screamin'deal, or is there something
missing
that I'm not seeing? Besides capacity, what else does one look for in a
toolchest?
I do know that there is only a 3 yr warranty vs. lifetime, but I can't see
breaking
the thing....
Thanks for any insights,
Mike
