The first cabinet shipped to me (shown on its pallet, above) with handling damage – it seems someone rammed the box with a fork lift – but the second was perfect. While a roughly 10% difference doesn’t sound like a lot on paper, I can fit a lot more tools due to the drawer count and dimensions. The 62″ cabinet is described as providing 31,721 cubic inches of storage volume, while this 72″ cabinet is said to have 34,326 cubic inches of storage volume. The storage volume belies its actual size and capacity. The outgoing 62″ workbench measured 24.1″ deep and 38.1″ tall. The Husky Pro Duty workbench measures 72″ wide x 24.6″ deep x 44.2″ tall. There are times when I clear the tops for heavy parts or equipment. I typically place tools, parts, workshop equipment, and other things on top of a mobile workbench. This fits well with how I use tool cabinets and chests. I wasn’t quite expecting the workbench to be as large as it is this is not a workbench as much as it is a workstation. The 20 drawers are a dream, and can fit much more tools than the Husky 62″ tool cabinet that previously occupied this space. The soft close feature is a convenience, and also provides some closed drawer retention strength, which is typical. The drawers feel to be of very high quality – they don’t rack or sag, and open and close smoothly. In reality, it does provide for a more premium user experience. There’s a 6-outlet plus 2 USB power strip on the right side.Īll of that sounds good on paper. There are two locks – one for the main section, and another for the right side bank of drawers. Husky equipped the workbench with a Kwikset SmartKey system, which allows for easy rekeying multiple locks to the same Kwikset key. The deeper top drawer and deep bottom drawers have double pairs of drawer slides and 400 lb load ratings. The frame is made with 16 gauge steel, and the base frame 9 gauge.Įach drawer can support up to 220 lbs. The top is made from 18-gauge 304-grade stainless steel. Pull handles on both sides also made the workbench easier to move around. With these casters, all 4 casters touch the floor, a benefit of the shock-absorbing system and absence of middle casters. It was easier to move this into position than with other larger mobile workbenches and tool cabinets I’ve used before. This one has 4 swivel casters, which makes it more maneuverable. Normally, larger mobile workbenches – at least consumer models – have 6 casters. There are 4 locking swivel casters, with a combined load capacity of 6,000 lbs. The very first thing I noticed was how easy it was to move the workbench into position. The same add-on options are available in both colors.
