The side cabinet has nothing in it yet.. Tommorow if i have nothing to do i might label the drawers i have enough room metric and sae can have their own drawers

Gotta agree that is a lot of box for the money

Since it says US general, it should be 22". The Icon's are deeper at 25" and a lot more money.

Post by: Crispycritter on February 22, 2023, 06:02:43 PM: Well i added another 5gallon bucket of tools (last of stuff from my hf 4 drawercart) to the beast and i still have nothing in side cab and plenty of room in a couple of long drawers. I might be able to empty my Masterforce bottom. and be able to get it outta storage to sell. Id rather buy another us general.
