Obviously there are high end ones like Snap-On but the prices get insane.
I recently looked all over at every big-box store you could imagine and all the consumer-grade ones are pretty similar in quality. Homak was no different. Haven’t seen Viper or Wen in person.
I bought a MasterForce brand at Menards because I thought it was among the better built consumer-grade ones I found, and the price was competitive. I should have saved the money and got a HF one.
Another option is to search Craigslist for used, higher-end ones.

ABSOLUTELY GET A US GENERAL FROM HARBOR FREIGHT.
They make an awesome box, it's bigger, cheaper, and comes with more, dollar for dollar than any of the big names (Craftsman, Husky, etc). I currently have a Husky box, and i'd trade it in a second for a harbor freight. I saw them after i'd already bought mine, otherwise, wait for the Super Coupon, get 20% or sometimes 25% each(the top and bottom, but you'll have to do separate transactions).
Especially if this is a hobby box, or non commercial box. I use my box, every weekend, and a couple times a week, and it holds up fine. All day, everyday, maybe not. But it wasn't $3000 either.
