Extreme Tools Makes a Compelling Tool Box 

Fantastic choice! Congratulations!

Thank you!

Careful. Rumors like this is how Zach will get a nick name.

Coyle Tools lets make a contest! Best name wins! We could call it name the side kick!

@@speedwrench1909 If he's my sidekick, we'll need a theme song first. Then a nick name.

Coyle Tools threes company theme song!🤷🏻‍♂️

That's a bummer. You can call Matco corporate and they'll help you out.

Good move! You'll be very happy with it.

@@CoyleTools yea the locker then that 41” top and bottom box to add to the other side it should look good

You're correct, Jim. They do make a Gearwrench-branded box. Those are the RX-series, so it's a good medium-grade build on those. Their EX-series pro-grade stuff is very well built and I'd favorably compare it to the Matco 6S ad Snap-On Epiq in terms of quality. In my opinion, Extreme's hutches are the best because they don't have a cross piece in front, so you can't bump your head. And the drawer latches are the nicest, too.

I don't have first-hand familiarity with the DX-series so I can't say for sure, but the RX-series is the mid-tier box and the EX is the heavy duty pro grade box. Your understanding is correct. For a complete going-over of the EX box, watch this video starting at the 20:23 mark: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5Dy6tlvat-Y.html

I think the only reason people wouldn't get one is if they have an allergy to saving money on a toolbox. The build quality is excellent and stands up to any other box on the market.

The handle design is way better than my Homak the framing is better and it sounds like you're able to retail them at very good prices. I forget if it's the extreme tool box but they have a 84" x 30" that's probably going to be my next box.

@@jwilkers1 Look at the Extreme EX Professional series. Those are their heavy-duty boxes. You can see the Extreme catalog with the complete line up here: extremetools.net/files/133016082.pdf

You can say the same about the resale value of a car, yet you bought of those. Plus that used Snap-On box comes without a warranty, for whatever that's worth. Ultimately, buy whichever box fits your budget and sits well with your philosophy. I didn't make this video to convince you to buy it. I made it to show you the box and tell you about a brand you may not be familiar with.

The Husky is far less expensive. It's only $400 and it's built well enough for my application. The Extreme is overkill and I couldn't afford it. When you're the tool truck, you don't have a tool truck you can make payments to.

@@CoyleTools lol well that is a good point. By December, I intend to have my garage rearranged entirely, a new tool box included. I'm torn between saving for an Extreme setup, possibly making payments, or outright buying the 52" Husky or the hutch setup from Husky. I really want a hutch, but I can make do without.

@@lskynard87 You can't go wrong since both are good quality. It's really a matter of preference and budget. Extreme boxes are rated for higher drawer capacities than the Husky boxes, and the drawer latches are excellent. But it's not like the Husky will fall apart.

@@CoyleTools I appreciated the video you did basically covering all brands and none of them are just going to vanish into dust overnight, it really is all a budget and personal preference matter. I love the matte black of the industrial Husky boxes, but the blue anodizing with the black base of the Extreme tools is fantastic. Is the latch and the blue trim worth the extra $2-4k though? Tough for me to decide, personally.

@@lskynard87 Thank you. I appreciate the input and feedback. Please let me know what you decide to buy. I'd love to learn about your decision-making process.

They compare favorably. There aren't any differences I can think of that would make me prefer one over the other except the latching system on the Extreme. It's built so well I consider it the best in the industry. But as far as functionality and build quality, both are excellent.

Extreme is a US company based out of Illinois. I'm not sure the country of manufacture. I believe China, but don't quote me on that.

@@CoyleTools i figured it out, made in china imported by extreme. isnt there a canadian company that makes boxes?

@@j.walker3498 I'm not aware of one.

@@j.walker3498 Tekton has boxes made by some company in Canada

@@andybub45 that's what I was thinking, thanks.

Homak makes good boxes, too. I've always thought they were an under-appreciated brand. But there are reasons for the pricing being what they are. The build quality on the Extreme has a nicer fit and finish than Homak boxes do. Extreme also has size and configuatioin options Homak doesn't offer. With Homak you get a good utilitarian box, and there's nothing wrong with that. Just know that Homak doesn't have an offering on par with this Extreme box, so we can't compare apples to apples.

You should see what Snap On gets for a similar set up.....it’s almost like all brands raise their prices because of what Snap On gets away with charging?

Correct on all counts!

What qualities does it lack that makes you believe it's not a top line box?

@@CoyleTools the drawer slides look small and the metal gauge construction. Mostly

@@itsatoolthing6323 As I pointed out, it's a medium-duty box. I also pointed out in this and other videos that Extreme offers heavier-duty boxes with 11-gauge frames, thicker sheet metal and 600-lb drawer capacities. The box in this video is right in line with other medium duty boxes from the tool truck brands, but a much lower cost.

@@CoyleTools yes you did make those points. I've been a little spoiled on the toolboxes had a top line 66" mac maximizer for 20yrs and now run a top line 84" Cornwall platinum and a 68" Snap-on epic series box. Since I watched your extreme toolbox video. I've been checking out extreme toolbox again looking like they have step up there game recently we there ex professional line. I've been in contact with them trying to get a price on the 72"x30" ex professional we upgreaded spring casters but can't seem how to get the upgreaded reactive drawer releases system. Might just have to add to my fleet. Thanks for your great content. Keep it up!

@@itsatoolthing6323 You sure do have some excellent boxes. I appreciate your comments and the discussion. Thank you!

Pricing has crept up a bit on these, which bums me out. But I've been discussing them a lot lately with a few looking to upgrade their boxes. I do like the value they offer.

You didn't buy it off a tool truck and pay for it with interest-free credit issued to you buy the owner, did you? You can buy anything online for less than financing it on a tool truck.

I'd give you a starting point to watch from to see the box review, but I already did all the work. All you've got to do is watch.
