what do you think of this harbor freight tool cart
« on: June 27, 2010, 04:47:09 PM »

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

I have the 1 drawer HF cart, and it's sturdy as hell. I was very surprised with how well it's put together.

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

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

 fucking box started smoking and i saw a flame start up so i grabbed a bucket of water and splashed it on the breaker box.

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
