thinknig about getting a tool cart to keep some basic tools in. since my grandfather sold his house i have been doing all my basic repairs at my girls cousins house. the have a small shed i store my stuff in but its too small for my tool box.
so i searched around and found a 20% off coupon, i know its not valid but i am def going to try to use it.
its actually already om sale for $99

Theyre actually suprisingly decent. I have a snap-off chest style box, but i have a harbor frieght cart with a drawer it does what its made to do... holds tools
-
I have the 1 drawer HF cart, and it's sturdy as hell. I was very surprised with how well it's put together.
-
guy at my work has the red one you posted, shit ton better than the typical craftsman piece of shit
-
after reading the reviews, i think i am sold on the red/second one. the main reason is the hydrolic cover pistons. i had a box similar to the first one and the metal top braces buckled.
i might grab this tool set to go in it

Get this tool set....I abuse them alot and nothing has broken :noel: some people use the 1/2in sockets on impacts
Downside is the no wrench but 15-20buck you can buy a wrench set there!
sign up for their email ads...they sometime have the tool set for 150

yeah i seen that kit, thats what i was going to try to 20% off coupon on. but last week it was only 149
-
i have that same black cart. i was really amazed at the quality. i bought it for a short 8 month stint working in private repair shop while i was laid off. for $100 you cant go wrong.
im glad i bought it now that im back at my old job too cause with the size of my home shop, my big tool box is too far away sometimes so i keep the black cart loaded with some basic stuff to keep me from walking all over the place

I own the red one for work and it is very well built. The only gripe I have is it comes with four swivel casters instead of two so it kind of goes where it wants when you push it. I just stick welded two of them solid and it's perfect. Print out the "20% off a single item" coupon and save a bit more. It comes with drawer liners too.

yes sir..the only thing came close to breaking was my 1/2in rachet when we was using it to take a hub nut off...we used my friends 1/2inch crapsman thing broke off right when we applied pressure. So we use the HF 1/2inch with breaker bar in it after a few jump on it the handle start bending.
Not bad for a 150$ tool set..something nice to have around the house.
Really havent used it on heavyline stuff but my friends be using the 1/2inch stuff on impacts :-X
