I was a machinist for 40 years. I had a cheap box and tools for the first year but eventually I bought better tooling and a better box. I still have all of it even after I retired. Investing in good tools will make your life easier in the long run...

@sdriza Год назад

while it's not too of the line, I think the cart is better than most of the stuff from HF

@justinwest5200 Год назад

Anything with life time warranty

@mr2_mike 4 месяца назад

Agreed. Busted sockets and broken ratchets suck and not worth it if you're actually a higher end weekend warrior.

@michaeldesjardin4241 2 месяца назад

I partially agree, I think you need to invest in good power tools and good, lockable, strong, indestructible storage. But in my opinion, don't buy expensive ratchets, they break too often and are very abused. I will note, I do have a toothless ratchet for the rare circumstances that I need it

I have had a harbor freight 5 drawer cart for over 12 years and it keeps on going strong i use it every day , and just bought a 4 drawer cart , they are great quality for the money . Well worth it .

@CyphDragon Год назад

One of my good friends (and a professional wrench on bucket trucks) told me a long time ago - when you go to buy a tool, buy the cheapest decent quality you can find (eg, Harbor Freight). If you manage to break or wear out the tool, then you use it enough to justify the cost on the highest-end tool that you can find. It's saved me literally thousands over the years listening to that advice. I have a few tools that I've had to replace under the broken/worn out clause, but for a home gamer like me the less expensive stuff (Home Depot and Harbor Freight mainly) is usually perfectly adequate for the work I'm doing. In the end, it's not the price tag that matters - it's if you can get the work done. (note: since I saw a comment below about cut-off wheels...this only applies to the tools, not consumables like cut off wheels, grease, anything that you *will* have to replace with time. In that case, the couple extra bucks from a known-good brand can save you from an expensive/life-altering mistake)

@jawadulkarim9498 Год назад

I’d definitely do this with stuff that’s not the bare minimum (sockets/power drill/screw drivers). Very good idea

@terrydavis7389 Год назад

getting it all organized is the hardest part, but once you do get it where you wan it, makes life so much easier. it almost becomes muscle memory where tools are at, and it also helps you see when something is missing.

I have had that US General tool cart for like a decade now. I heavily overload it all the time and it is stuffed with all of my tools. Drawers still work flawlessly, I have even left the big drawer fully loaded with screws at full extension for several weeks because I forgot to push it in and didn't notice. Absolutely no problem lol. The thing is a beast and is like the best deal in all of tools on the planet

@lazerbeam3928 Год назад

Here are a few tips regarding your tool cart & tools that could have saved you a couple of bucks and some time. 1. HF sells swivel casters that are an exact match with the ones that come with the tool cart. You could have bought only two (using the already included swivel ones) and no drilling required. 2. HF sells magnet packs (2 pack for $.99) that are the same width as the magnetic strips. Put 2 or 3 on the back of the strip magnet and just place the strip where you want them on the lid. No drilling required. 3. If the HF socket organizer is steel use the same magnets in #2 tip to attach it to cart. Should eliminate the difficulty removing the sockets as these magnets are really strong. 4. Not a money saving tip but, I would have looked a buying HF's Quinn line of tools. They cost slightly more than Pittsburg, have the same lifetime warranty but are better quality (much closer to Lowes Kobalt line in quality as a comparison). The Quinn screwdriver and plier sets are significantly better than the Pittsburg line. As a side note I was wondering how you could see any tools on the underside of the cart's lid with all those distracting stickers? 😉

@mralexc Год назад

I'm a master auto technician been in this business over 20 years I've had my harborfreight box same as yours for over 10 years and I've dropped it a car has hit it, it's always overloaded the only things that are wrong after a decade of abuse there is no rubber left on the wheels from rolling in chemicals and greases. And the lift supports I replaced with a bar when they gave out and the lock froze up and I had to replace. As for I tell this to all the new GST that come in, buy cheap replace with quality as they break. I have tens of thousands in snapon, matco,and Mac but in my main box I also have backups of every socket and wrench and ratchet in husky, craftsman, Cresent, vicegrip, duralast, etc ... even the most expensive best quality tool wears out and brakes and the tool truck only comes once per week.

@trevormorgan7138 Год назад

I use one of those 5 drawers at work. You really need a cab or another box for storage so you can keep all your commonly used tools in your service cart, and anything you don't regularly used stashed away in the big box. Helps out a ton. Because you will still have your less commonly used tools, but you will have everything you need commonly in arms reach and well organized. Like I work with metric mostly... So i keep all my standards in the bigger box so I don't mix them up as I am grabbing and setting down tools. The key is to have space to throw your shit around and not make a disorganized mess because if you don't have a lot of space on the top you will mix them in and lose shit slowing you down.

Most guys in my shop own Snapon toolboxes. A few guys bought Harbor Freight carts. After several years they still hold up good. The guys like them because they dont feel guilty about beating the tar out of them. More expensive carts that cost thousands will cause someone to baby it more.

Texton makes some of the best socket holders IMO and you can buy extra individual socket holders as well.

@josephnavarro3620 Месяц назад

For anyone watching this and wanting to put 4 caster wheels on your US General cart, it already comes with two caster wheels and two non caster so you only have to purchase two more caster wheels and they have the correct ones there and you do not need to drill anything. I think I paid like $5 per wheel on sale usually about $8.

@mikes8697 2 месяца назад

Ernst manufacturing makes a pretty dope socket rail system called the socket boss if you're more into that style vs a westling setup. Pop off a rail from the base and take it to your lift, walk it back over and pop it back on. Easy peasy. Can even switch it out with other rails from your main box so your service cart has more of your "every day use" sockets and what not.

@trollingpatroll7196 Год назад

Harbor freight sells socket sorters made by U.S Generals called Peg-Type i have them in my U.S. General rolling tool box and i highly recommend them the peg doesn't snap into the socket it just goes through them it would solve all the problems of the sockets there is no fight at all with them.

As a mechanic for the last 30+ years and still going. I have all those high end tools at work. But at home . Most of them are harbor freight tools. Except a few tools that you don't want to skip on. Like ratchets. It sucks when they break and you smash your hand on something 😕 On a side note, that socket organizer you didn't like because they where hard to get off. That is done intentionally. That is made where you can grab the hole thing and take it anywhere and the sockets won't fall off

@Greatgadgetsgear Год назад

I thought that red wrench holder in drawer was for screwdrivers lol. Looks just like mine. I love the magnetic socket trays better than the push on pegs, easy on and off but stay in place.

I've ways organized my sockets and wrenches in order of size not metric or SAE. Just makes sense to me. Also when you have the bolt in your hand looking for the size is so much faster. Inefficiency?

@robgregorski2182 Год назад

My son went to a two year tech school for automotive and was given the list of tools recommended by the school, your basic starter setup. The estimated cost through the school with all the major brand names snap on, matco etc with a "school discount "was around 8-10 thousand dollars with a tool box. We went to harbor freight and bought everything on that list including the optional tools and few more I knew he would need and a bigger tool box than the recommended size for 2500 dollars. He is still using them everyday and have not had any issues. I agree that some tools you shouldn't go cheap on but you don't need to go into debt on the tool truck to do your job.

@chrisp174 Год назад

For a freshy straight out of school its smart to not go into deep debt. Eventually he will want to replace the cheaper tools with premium tools but its worth doing that over a lifetime. My old man has been using some of the same tools like orginal USA made Vise Grips, Snapon wrenches, etc for over 20 years. No reason to go into debt in the short term when you can buy over the long term and pay cash for stuff.

My suggestion would be to put your ratchets and extensions up top with the sockets. That’s way what you use it together and you don’t have to go 2 different places in the box to get things that constantly with each other. Also laying your screwdrivers and pliers opposite of each other and flat will make it easier to see everything all at once and make it faster getting what you need

@Blockhead You may not like the socket holders holding as tightly as the Harbor Freight organizer does, but have a spill with the one from Amazon and you’ll never use it again! If you were trying to be super productive and time in accessing tools was a major concern, you wouldn’t be using Harbor Freight stuff! That being said, you are not needing to swap out sockets that rapidly and having to sort them out once or twice after having them fall off the Amazon tray, you’ll hate your life if you continue to use that organizer!
