Not Benches, Not Boxes: Harbor Freight's New Tool Cabinet Is Completely Mobile

Tools have a way of spreading all over the place. Sure, you can keep them on the bench, but that can quickly take away the space you actually need for projects. Another option is toolboxes. However, once you have more than a few tools, it can become annoying to dig through a box every time you need something specific. But Harbor Freight is here with a solution for you: the Yukon 5-Drawer Rolling Tool Cabinet. This tool cabinet is designed as a mobile storage unit for places where tools need to stay organized but still remain easy to access.

It uses five drawers to separate different tools and supplies, and according to the manufacturer, it has a 10,300-cubic-inch tool storage capacity. The main selling point of this cabinet, however, is its mobility. It comes with large casters, which allow the cabinet to be rolled around a workspace instead of staying fixed against a wall. This can be really useful if your work involves a lot of movement between different spots in a workplace.

The cabinet is currently priced at $329.99 and comes in three colors: black, red, and blue. As for its size and build, it measures 36 inches wide and 18 inches deep and is made from steel. Just keep in mind that it is not ready-to-use out of the box. You will have to assemble it yourself at home. If, however, you want something pre-assembled, you can look into Amazon rolling toolboxes. They might not have the same build, but some of them are considerably cheaper than the Yukon 5-Drawer Rolling Tool Cabinet.

The Yukon 5-Drawer Rolling Tool Cabinet has 23 reviews on Harbor Freight's website at the time of writing, and based on those reviews, it holds an overall rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars. Harbor Freight also says the cabinet is recommended by 98% of customers who purchased it. Many positive reviews focus on the cabinet's size and mobility. For instance, one buyer mentioned that the size of the cabinet made it very easy to move around the workshop, whereas another buyer said the large casters make moving it a breeze.

In addition, several reviewers also appreciated the smaller footprint of the cabinet. However, despite its small size, Harbor Freight makes it easy to organize and store all your tools. Several buyers have pointed it out, too, in their reviews. Some customers have also mentioned the drawers in their reviews. They say that the cabinet offers smooth drawer action, soft-close sliders, and wide drawer space. One reviewer even measured the inside drawer width at about 31 3/16 inches, which they said helped with longer tools.

That said, the reviews are not all positive. For instance, according to one buyer, the drawers do not open all the way, and they sometimes get stuck, too. Besides that, there are also some complaints about broken plastic pieces related to the drawer locking mechanism. These complaints and issues are not widespread, but they are still worth noting before spending about $300. And if $300 seems like a lot, you can look into tool organizers that cost under $50 instead.
