Default Garage cabinets

I'm sure this has been beat to death, but.. I'm gunna ask again here. I'm gunna redo my back garage before winter. What cabinets do you guys recommend. Gunna sell my old husky stuff. The quality sucks on husky. Don't want to go crazy budget wise. But I do use my garage a lot.

I’ll buy saber for my garage redo. They are pretty good. Moody has lista. Very spendy but very nice. He has both actually. Lista noticably better.
But i don’t Store 50 gallons of spray detailer at a time either :-)
Another brand to checkout is Sonic. Less than lista more than saber. BBI has 5 tech stations full of sonic and they are very nice, techs happy with them.

Sonic makes some of the best tool chests. For the garage cabinets I'd look at Contur Cabinet or Moduline.

Any opinion on Baldhead?
It has been a long time since I did my research and they used to be very very very good. Early next year I will be buying cabinets/

I've heard good things about Baldhead but have never seen them in person. My recommendations above are from first-hand experience.

from $$$$ to less $$$

if by cabinet you mean "drawers" then
lista ( i have not seen anything come close. i can sit in the drawer and yuo can open and close it no friction. there are ball bearing and there are ball bearing)
sonic
moduline/bladhead
saber

if you want cupboard type cabinets:
sonic
stronghold (it will survive WW3)
lista (too small)
moduline
saber (the shelves bent easily, my did)

if are talking about tool storage then

snap-on on par with sonic. pick which one you like the look
snap on



lista<br/>i didn't like my saber enough to take pic

Costco. "New Age". Obviously will not break the bank - you can buy a lot of these things for cheap. Suits my needs just fine.

After some research, I've decided on the same. If you get NewAge spend the extra money and get the Pro Series or the Performance Plus Series.

What made you go with new age vs saber? When you pay extra for those series price difference is a moot point.

Last weekend I was at a friend's new place and he had the New Age Pro series. I thought they were very nice quality with a solid double-wall feel and welded. I'll probably go that direction with the red/black series like AndrewGT3's.
