Gladiator Gladiator Tool and Garage Storage

Not worth it.

I ordered two of these cabinets on line and had them delivered. The quality of the material was disappointing and not what I expected from Gladiator. When they were delivered one was so dented I had use a rubber mallet to get the dents out just so I could put it together. After all that the drawer still doesn't open and close all that well. I would have returned it but it was too much of a hassle. Maybe it was damaged during shipping, and not Gladiator's fault. I've purchased numerous Gladi...

Well made medium duty box

It was well made. Metal could be heavier . That’s why it’s a medium duty box. Made better than the cheaper boxes but not truly industrial quality. Directions could be better. Looks good. Doors are even and drawer opens and closes easy.

High quality, sturdy materials, easy to assemble.

The entire GearBox was super easy to assemble. The parts were well marked and the instructions were easy to follow. The box is made from high quality and sturdy materials. No complaints whatsoever. I purchased this box to add to a pair of Gladiator drawer sets that I purchased 12 years ago. The dimensions and build quality were identical, so the final fit was perfect. It is good to know that I can count on Gladiator to be consistent in their designs over time, so it makes it much easier to...

Bullet proof

I already own two of these. Just added third. Tough as nails and lasts years. My other two are 20 years old and look as good as new. assembly is a bit tough, but that is the extra price that you pay.

Damaged item

The item was delivered damaged

Buy Assembled Hard to Assemble

Spent 8 hours trying to assemble. Was able to assemble companion piece easily. Great product. Just buy assembled. Bringing my first one back unassembled. Bought a second assembled.

Great addition to storage

Exactly as advertised. Cabinet and drawer are well constructed and easy to assemble. The drawer slides seem to be lighter duty than some tool storage drawer sets, but are high quality nonetheless.

Poor quality drawer slides

I had high hopes for this. I really like the look of the Gladiator line and it gets generally good reviews. However, I found the drawer slides on this particular cabinet to be flimsy and of poor quality. It was a dealbreaker. I am pretty handy, but I found it very difficult to get the drawer slides to line up with the drawer during assembly, and for the installed drawer to seat evenly and open smoothly and easily. I finally gave up and returned the cabinet. But I really liked the unit (if it had...

Inconsistent Product

I purchased two of these cabinets on the same day at the same store, but they are different from each other. One has a orange Gladiator badge and one has a silver badge. The one with the silver badge went together just fine, albeit the instructions are trash. I have assembled a lot of furniture and they are some of the worst instructions I have ever seen. The cabinet with the orange badge has the holes for the base drilled backwards so the flat side would be towards the floor. I returned the hal...

Check the width of your space.

It is described by the company as being 28" wide so I expected it to fit into a certain space. But the company doesn't add the width of the bolts sticking out of the sides of the box. I had to locate it in a different place.
