Husky Garage Storage Base Cabinet

A new Husky garage storage system has just hit the market. The product family includes a (Waterloo) mobile work center, base cabinets, work benching, shelving, and what looks to be a slatwall-type wall system.

Most of these Husky garage and tool storage products are only available online right now, with all but one or two of the largest and heaviest units shipping for free. Even the 166lb 53-inch mobile work center is shipping for free.

    Hopefully the folks at Waterloo-Husky figure out how to protect the cabinets in shipping better than some others. For my home garage shop – I couldn’t afford the Lista and Stanley Vidmar stuff we have in the commercial shops – so I went with Gladiator GarageWorks (a division of Whirlpool) rolling cabinents at the end of last year when Amazon had them on sale. Great cabinets – nice enough casters – but they arrived damaged – the fault of bad handling – and flimsy protection (thin styrofoam). Based on comments I see on Amazon – my experience was pretty common

    I saw the Husky line of storage cabinets at my local Home Depot. I was really interested in them, until I started looking a little closer. First, the hinge design of the storage cabinet doors does not allow them to be placed side by side. The doors will hit the adjacent cabinet when opened. Second, bottom of the inside of the storage cabinet’s are not flush with bottom of the door frame opening. Not a big deal except that the adjustment screws from cabinet feet are sticking up through the bottom of the cabinet. Third, the drawer base cabinet and the storage base cabinet have not been designed so that they could be placed next to each other, or even bolted together. The tops do not extend over the sides (they’re not even flush), so if you do place them next to each other, you will have a gap between the cabinets and tops. The sides have a strange curled edge at the top and bottom that makes the cabinet wider than the top. All in all, they’re great cabinets, just not given a lot of design thought past using them for stand alone cabinets.

    Thanks for the feedback, Glen! Some of those design “features” would be a deal breaker for me as well. At the two local Home Depots I checked, the cabinets and other Husky storage products are high up out of reach so I couldn’t examine their internal configurations.

    Some of the Husky products, such as the shelving, is identical to Craftsman offerings, leading me to believe that many of the “new” products are actually seasoned designs. It looks like that assumption was a bit off. Many of the features/flaws you discussed sound like 1st-generation design mistakes, some of them quite unforgivable (like the non-flush sides and table tops).
