NicholasShetley Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 I'm looking at getting a new service cart to keep my most used tools in. I'm currently looking at getting the 5 drawer red Harbor freight cart or possibly the Napa cart that stercorarius bought recently. If anyone else has any other reccomendations I would be glad to know what they are. All of the tool truck ones are ridiculously high so they are out of the question. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

BMack37 Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 I was looking at them myself and the HF seemed to be the best deal by far. I haven't even seen any used carts on CL that can beat that value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree bro the HF red one looks like the best deal for your money Nicholas I've checked it out a couple times at my HF and they feel pretty solid dude and the size is pretty good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stercorarius Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 If you haven't already there is a coupon for the smaller cart. I have no regrets on my Napa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL It was pretty decent untill they used a 25% off coupon on my commission on top of it being a parking lot sale. So about 5 cents to the thousand dollars. Errrrrrrr I mean I don't care to say nything about tools, all I care about is sharing this coupon with people. I stocked my whole garage and shop at work using it.

I'm just glad you are in the right mind and don't buy into the SnapOn or similar brand loyalty and pay a "leg and a dick" as @Hugh Jass put it, for your boxes... Smart man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Jimbo's paying his royalty rights though...still waiting for your check, sir. As for the cart, at that price point it's pretty much a no brainer. It wouldn't work for me as the terrain I roll on would make that thing sound like a high school garage band were rolling by. It would be worthy of an upgrade to soft, bearing wheels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fazzman Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 a few buddies have the Hf ones,they arent bad as long as you dont care if the lock is junk. Never seen a HF lock that couldnt bepopped with a screwdriver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrich1 Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 If you have a Menards around I would look into there new one from Masterforce. With the 11% sales they have often it doesnt make it to bad. http://www.menards.com/main/tools-hardware/tool-storage/tool-chests-boxes/masterforce-reg-36-8-drawer-tool-command-center/p-1444451668139.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicholasShetley Posted May 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 We don't have a Menards yet but one will be open in the fall though. They said it will be 167,000 square feet. I got on at a local dealer so I might get one fairly soon. I am leaning towards the Napa one since the nearest harbor freight is over an hour away.

You'll probably want to get different drawer liners though. Also it was a pain to assemble by myself, I would recommend having a buddy there to help you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's different about the drawers?

What are the dimensions for the drawers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked the box has the same type of drawers as the other one, the handle lifts to unlatch the drawer to keep them from sliding open.

It does have holes in it for pry bars on both sides. They are nice because I can set all my misc. breaker bars in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99_XC600 Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 I had the 5 Drawer Cart and I loved it. Best value on the market - hands down. Here's a review I made of it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Even though I picked up that Matco cart, I am still thinking of picking up the HF. I was in HF yesterday and the quality seems on par but it's significantly cheaper for more. I might just resell the Matco and use the money towards the HF, wish they had them in black though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
