Husky provided their Pro Duty 72″ 20-drawer mobile workbench for review purposes, and I have been thoroughly using and testing it these past couple of weeks. Home Depot’s Husky Pro Duty tool storage system offers a modern and modular mobile work station solution that’s engineered around the needs of professional and demanding users.
