Nice review. I liked that you checked the metal thickness. Interesting assembly technique too. I’ve seen a lot of guys drop them in from the top with an assistant. These are reportedly coming up on sale for $199 again on a parking lot sale. Thanks for enduring the heat for this assembly and thanks for sharing!
I have the white one and the white Yukon nine drawer workbench. They look beautiful in my kitchen and my computer repair room. The white works very well for gourmet, cooking, utensils, and machinery, especially if you’re a DIY Baker or barbecue like I am
If you're unlikely to disassemble in the future, put red loctite on the fasteners. I have several HF carts that in time have had the fasteners loosen after a lot of use.
Similarly built to my Sunex slider top 3 drawer cart... 14 gauge legs and 16 gauge drawers.. Castors are similar too I've never had a problem rolling...👍 They're very solid once they're full of tools
Great tip on the mats ! Took advantage of the HF one day Christmas sale and bought one for 189 bucks, they didn't have one in the store but ordered me one and it should be here Christmas week. Picked up the folding tray/shelf for it too. $227 OTD for everything. Murdered out Slate Gray ! Pretty hard to beat the set.
Just bought a series 3. I had to call a friend to help me lower the box onto the cart. Didn’t even think about laying it down and sliding the box in and bolting it in.
I would love to get one of these at some point, but I can not spend the money anytime soon. Thanks for doing a review of this, at least I got to see it being setup.
@@Pansitooooo I think I ordered mine from Rockler when they were all on sale. I upgraded to 4 swivels, same diameter as stock. Bases were different size, will have to re-drill 2 holes each eventually, but for now it doesn't need to move anywhere so it's on the 'when I get to it list'.
Great review and assembly video especially since this is the cart I’m looking at purchasing! I think you are the only other person other than me that has and still uses that Ridgid 12v palm impact driver. It’s one of my favorite tools and I wish Milwaukee would come out with an M12 Fuel palm impact driver as well! Come on Milwaukee we know you read these comments…lol! Great review again my friend!
I got mine a few months ago at parking lot sale $200, worth every penny, much better build quality etc. than the usual suspects. Personally i do NOT like/use the drawer locks with respect to the individual drawers, i disabled them just put a screw in the gap, fully reversable. Also... I am adding another set of swivel wheels for ease movement , exact same as the other pair so ill hae 4 locking swivels. of course i have other ideas planned... SFMF
I would ditch the casters for roller blade style versions. They glide so much better than any other casters available and replace the cheesy lock cylinder while adding a thicker fabricated pawl latch instead of the super soft one that comes with the cart.
Took me way too long to realize the lid has to be open to unlock the drawers lol. I’ve never had one before so idk if that’s standard or not wasn’t mentioned in the instructions. Made me feel dumb haha
Just pick one up this morning for $189. You said you had something special coming for this cart, did you ever release that video? I did A quick search of you video's and I didn't see anything yet.
Would using the box only without the legs part be viable or does it mess with the rigidity of the box not having those legs bolted to, and supporting the sides?
The top of the box is wider than the drawers, so it wouldn't really work without the legs. They do also clamp everything together to make it very ridgit.
@@masoncampos7043 Alright Mr. Knowitall if you don't believe me then go to your closest Harbor Freight, find there tool boxes and one of them should have a sign hanging from the lid that compares their boxes with Snap-on boxes. The only difference you're going to see is the price.
