I don’t like icon and here’s why. You don’t get latching or soft close drawers. It’s double if not more than the US General and that at least has latching drawers. The drawers on the Icon slam closed and slide open on the smallest of inclines. I don’t understand why they wouldn’t at least put latches on the drawers since it costs all of $0.03 in the factory to add on. The drawer slides also don’t feel as sturdy as the US General. They slide in very unevenly and shimmy on the way in compared to the US General. On a $2500+ box I would expect these things since the cheaper one has it. This is my experience with several demo units at several stores. JMO
The ones I’ve seen demos of in the store had latches just like my Sunex box does. The whole handle pulls up to unlatch it’s and it clicks shut. I don’t need soft close, I’ve gotten in the habit of shutting them gently or paying the consequences [emoji23]
I scored a 20" 455 rancher at a yard sale like 2 springs ago for $30!! And damn she runs!
That’s interesting. All the demos I’ve seen must be outdated then? I do agree that the US General is kinda cheesy but at least it has them. I’ll have to keep looking for the boxes with the latches and give them another try.
