You know you’ve hit it big when Harbor Freight uses your video in their advertisement. Well done as always. 👍🏻

I really hope HF kicked you down with some cash because this video is going to make them alot of money. this is the Best review out there. Im buying a box because of this video.

Been using and abusing this cart for a year in industrial maintenance. It's even been out a dock door while loaded. 20 minutes of love with a dead blow and it still works flawlessly with just minor cosmetic damages. Us general has a customer for life.

Snap-on, keeping mechanics broke for over half of a century!

Yet another unbiased, no bull review. This channel is outstanding.

I work at a dodge/Chrysler/Jeep/ram dealership and all my coworkers are very experienced all with 1500+ in their roll carts & roll cart accessories alone. That being said they always say what an impressive value my harbor freight 5 drawer cart is when I roll it past their bay. Like every time they see it they wish they could return theirs for the money back and buy the harbor freight. I did the bumper rubber mod and snap on side peg board thing also welded some scrap tube steel to the back to stick my BIG pry bars in and have also welded other mounts on the back and sides to hold other tools like my set of persuaders (hammers). It’s nice that the cart was only 150$ because I don’t feel bad about grinding away some paint and welding something on that will make it more functional. Also, it says 700lb capacity but I’m sure I have mine loaded with at least 1000lbs of weight with all the mods and tools I have stuffed in there 👍 I have all the roll cart features I could ever want and the price I paid for everything saved me money that I could spend on tool truck tools and I think the brand on your tools are more important than the brand on the box I put them in

I’ve had a us general cart like that for 7 years. It’s been nothing but great the whole time. Perfect for a weekend warrior/diy guy. Would definitely buy again if I ever needed to.

I am a professional auto mechanic and strongly recommend the Harbor Freight 5 drawer cart. Since it was released it is one of, if not the best quality tool for the money. It is big enough that techs who are starting out can make there living out of the thing for years and for guys like me it can easily lug around the tools I use 90% of the time. And that's what a tool cart is supposed to do; extend the reach of your main box. The struts will eventually fail, but all of them do. No biggy, just clamp the strut open with a small pair of vice grips. I have replaced my top compartment drawer liner with a diesel truck mud flap cut to fit. I have the folding side table also. I make $72k a year and can afford any tool cart I want but the Harbor Freight 5 drawer is the real deal. No one has made fun of it, even guys with $2k roll carts that are as big as main toolboxes used to be.

I know this review is a few years old but I have been watching US General tool box reviews all day and this is hands down the best review on a cart. Well done!!!

I loved this review, felt like old motor week on PBS. Quick to the point facts and real world applications. You gained a subscriber.

I'm a diesel tech and I have the 5 drawer HF box and it has been a great purchase. Definitely recommend it.

i got the us general box for my 16th birthday last june, and it is absolutely amazing. A full toolbox is more valuable to your life than any college degree

Have you seen that harbor freight has your latest tool cart review in their latest email sale flier? You made the big time! Congratulations!

I have the Red HFT Gen 1, 30", 5-drawer cart, the 72" Gen 1 triple bank roller Cabinet in Red, a Red 56" double bank top Chest,, 2 of the Red 44" double bank roller Cabinets, 2 of the 44" Red double bank top Chests, and 4 of the Red 14.5" Single Bank Red End Cabinets and love them all. I started buying and using them 6 years ago and have had ZERO issues with any of them and they are all loaded with Snappy, Klein, and Milwaukee hand tools and working perfectly. I couldn't be happier..

You are my "go to" tool review guy. Always comprehensive and unbiased. Just all around great reviews. Keep up the excellent work.

I’ve worked at HFT for the past year and a half and can strongly recommend the 30” box as i’ve had NUMEROUS customers compliment the box’s performance against that of the competitors when comparing price, quality and the origin of manufacturer. You can say i’m bias; but I also own a craftsman 26” box alongside my US General 30” and I can say I prefer the US General features as they seem to be better thought out and user friendly. The small side locks on each drawer are my favorite feature because you can easily transport the box, let’s say to the road course or track in your trailer, and not have they drawers open when the lid is up. Thanks hope this helps someone

Best tool review channel EVER!. Always great details. You walk through every nooks and crannies explaining everything...doesnt get better than that...great job...

Anytime I come upon this channel while looking for reviews or comparisons I am blown away by the quality of the reviews. Great camera work, no nonsense talk, all the information I could possibly want. If I could thumbs up each video more than once I would. I just wish you had the time to do this full-time with even more videos; the world needs more reviews like this. Thanks for all your excellent work!

I bought the US General toolbox many years ago and surprisingly enough, it has held up really well and looks great for it being 7-8 years old. Completely worth the investment. Wouldn’t spend $900 for a similar toolbox anyway.

I bought my series 1 cart around two years ago. Roll it around our factories every day repairing print presses, absolutely love it and no issues at all with it. Have 1/4” plexiglass topper so when I set motors and gear boxes on top it doesn’t dent the lid, have a 1/8” plate steel bracket for vice over the handle, and have breaker bar hangers, kneeling pad hanger and extension cord hanger on it. Best bang for the buck item from HF.

I just purchased a blue one tonight. I have been watching the price of these go up in the past few months... Today they were $209.99, on sale for $189.99, and I had a coupon for $169.99. I purchased the additional side tray with a 20% off coupon. It was like buying the cart, and getting a free side tray. It took 45 minutes flat to assemble, which I owe you for the awesome video showing the assembly. Thank you for the awesome review!!! It certainly made my decision easier. I am sure to get many good years use out of this cart as I already own the 30" 4 drawer unit (7 years no problems). I also own the 72" tool box, with a 56" chest, 7 drawer end cabinet, and 16" end locker (5 years no problems). In one of the 200lb drawers I have my 3/4" drive sockets, ratchets, breaker bars, etc..., which weigh well over 200 lbs. It still gives me no headaches as it functions like it has less than 100lbs. Thank you!!! I subscribed to your channel so I can watch all of your old videos as well as new ones. Another satisfied customer from Harbor Freight tools...

I've had 2 HF tool carts since they were 169.99 and that's almost 10 years now. Still like new !!!

Got the US General for $169.00 at one of their big deal days recently. It's everything I need. I have not questioned the purchase and this review confirms my thoughts are not simply justification for spending less than 1/3 of the price. Great product. Great review!

I use it every day professionally, have the side tray and bolted a small metal box to the side of it for extra storage, the thing is a beast. hasn't failed me yet after 6 months of use. 100% recommended

I have the Harbor Freight version. Bought it in 2007 or so for use in an auto shop. I rolled it when I hit a floor drain. Bent a little, but still in use. The struts were an issue. Replaced once. Co-worker has the same one, and same timeframe. He abuses the heck out of it with weight. Still working great too. I see these in all professional shops. Certainly the best box out there. I did get a Matco box a few years ago. It is nice, with drawers all the way to the floor. Better box, but far more money.

Picked this up today for $200, it was a coupon item. There's more colors. When I saw how many people praise these and that I could get it in green, I was sold.

Thank you for taking the time to present a clear and professional class video. Harbor freight cart is on sale this weekend for $189.00 so I will be picking up the cart today.

I have the original HF version of this cart and have had it in daily use for over ten years. I added the folding tray but retained the original casters. I also made a couple of personalized mods the first being the addition of plastic-coated1" square wire mesh (1" square mesh leftover guarding from a job at work before retiring.) THE mesh is installed on both sides and the back and allows me to stack larger tools on the bottom without them falling off when moving the cart. I also added black vinyl liner to the top of the cart as well as the folding shelf. This protects the top surface and makes for a workbench. I only store seldom-used tools in the top section. In fact, I use this cart primarily for specialized automotive tools. It gets for use as a mobile workbench. In all the time I've owned it, I've only had to replace the gas struts once. I'm retired and I have my own shop where my hobby is restoring old cars. I have four large rolling tool cabinets. Two are old Craftsman boxes (One is for air tools and the other is measuring/test equipment and more specialized automotive tools. I use a large HF box for handtools.

I'm subbing for your upfront honesty and giving a side by side demo instead of just shouting an opinion.

Due to a open box and a 50% off sale. I got my US general box for $75! Minor cosmetic scratches. All brackets and hardware were accounted for. My Best Buy at harbor freight so far.

I recently was hired at a local hospital as Plant Operations. One of the HVAC techs has a US General tool cart. I've seen it in action and was impressed with it. After watching his video I am now sold on getting a US General for myself!

I have had my HF 30" tool cart for like 4 years now and it's a work horse! I love it!

I have 2 of these US General box's and they have worked well. It is a great deal, and at $149 on sale you can't beat the price. Plus the quality is fine.

This is probably the best side by side product review and comparison video I've ever seen. Job well done

I purchased the U.S. General because of this video. I made the same purchase you did with the rubber bumpers and am quite happy with the choice. I got a better deal on the box than you did because I purchased an open box. Someone had purchased it and decided the assembly was too complicated and returned it. Paid $92 for mine and about $30 for the bumpers. Removing the drawers was a GREAT suggestion... made the final assembly a snap. I sold my BluePoint back to the Snap-on guy... He wasn't happy, but he did understand. Thanks again for the awesome review!

I got the HF one for 170$. Been using it now for 6 years with heavy use. Had to replace the nitro for the lid once so far. Other than that this is the best tool cart for the money. I have seen so many tool carts fail by losing hold on their drawers. Do not underestimate the locks on the US General cart.

I am all about HF when it comes to saving bucks. Nice vid. The only thing i would say, well i have a few but, the WAY MORE expensive one, since it has 4 swivel casters i would install that push handle upside down. then it is below the lid, and you can use the entire lid, and you will not lose any mobility either.

I have the 4 drawer version of this. I didn't pull the drawers out i just manhandled it lol. But this thing is GREAT. Best investment ever

Just bought this HF cart today. Watching this after the fact, but I have checked the cart out a few times and it's pretty solid and the drawers actually move nice. They're having a sale right now, $189 for this cart! Well worth it I think.

I have the hf one for several years, got it on sale for $159, it gets rolled up and down a 3 bay hangar, it’s holding up. Like someone else said, I would rather use the difference in price to buy more tools, it’s just a no brainer.

First and foremost, this was an EXCELLENT tool review! What I’m about to say is merely one 60 year old man’s opinion and may have no meaning to anyone, but you don’t live to this age and wrench on stuff for longer than many readers have even been alive without stumbling over a few truths in life. Case in point, This review just illustrates how easily we can be sucked in by greedy marketing. I don’t care how you look at it, there is no way in hell that Blue Point is worth THREE TIMES THE MONEY! And I’ll lay you odds they’re probably made in the same assembly plant with only slight different specifications and colors. I once read an excellent article in a woodworking magazine what had actual photographs of an overseas manufacturing plant building large woodworking machinery coming down the assembly line. Just by the color scheme alone, you could clearly recognize and identify FOUR different branded pieces of machinery coming out of the same molds! More recently, a fellow woodworker and I were comparing our different (differently branded and PRICED) lathes, only to realize the castings were IDENTICAL in every single aspect! (except a 42% price difference!). I’m talking about down to the most intricate details that no two designers could have possibly included by coincidence. We further decided to test that theory by attempting to swap out key components to ensure it was not merely an optical illusion. You guessed it......EXACT fit....on every part we tried! Same castings, same quality, same machining process, same factory warranty, with a different color sprayed on and as previously mentioned, a 42% markup on my buddy’s unit. 😝. Honestly...it makes us both sick that marketing departments have gotten so good at deceiving us into believing we’re paying almost half again as much for increased quality when many times nothing could be farther from the truth. Now, I’m not implying that this is never the case because sometimes, you really do get what you paid for, but the older I get, the more I understand just how sneaky and effectively a good marketing ploy can doop us into turning loose of more of our hard-earned dollars for a snooby name sticker when we would be waaaay ahead to have done our homework to determine if there really IS a true difference in quality and if not....put those dollars into expanding our tool collections instead of making “brand X” richer. Do your homework and be cautious. Do not go just on the word of those that purchased brand “X” because they often will adamantly defend their choices despite having realized they paid way too much for a “branded” product. Yes, I know this will ruffle some feathers on some people, but please folks......do your homework before signing that contract on the big name toolbox that you’ll be paying on for the next twenty years when a lesser named brand would serve you for years and years and be paid for before the tool snob has made his third (3rd of 400) payments on that over-priced unit. EXCELLENT TOOL REVIEW!

Harbor Freight is upgrading it's tool cabinets as well. Was going to purchase the 44" set but noticed that for a week or so the upper cabinet wasn't available on line. Glad I waited as the series 2 44" cabinets are now 22" deep instead of the former 18" deep model. The side locker has been upgraded as well. They replaced the 2 shallower drawers in it with 1 deeper drawer and it now comes with 1 additional shelf compared to its predecessor. There are a total of 3 shelves now in the locker instead of 2. This better utilizes available space for storage in the approximately two 55" tall cabinet

Here we are June of 2023 and I just picked up this same cabinet for $199. I also picked up the 14.5" 7 drawer end cabinet for $199. Brought it home and already have the end cabinet mounted to the 5 drawer. What an incredible deal!......

Had the U.S. General 30in (1.0) for a year now. I work in a factory as an electrician/maintenance man. I'm rough on it, but it is as good as the day I bought it. I recommend it to any that asks...

thanks for uploading videos again, we are more who appreciate them

I just purchased the General yesterday, it is the best deal for sure. I don’t believe you need to purchase Snap on, Bluepoint.....it cost me 180 verse the other expensive brands. I only need it to hold tools, and it fits my needs for the budget...FYI as he states in the video, hand tighten as you build and tighten at the end, it would have saved me a half hour for sure!

This video is the reason I bought this cart in green. I wasn't even considering the Snap-on version. I did order the bumpers as well and the green side panel KRBC9T18PJJ. The side panel is useful for a magnetic surface with the available accessories from HF. It hides my ratchets hanging down from view as well. Awesome videos!

Just bought mine last weekend... it took a little over 2hrs to build but is dead nuts EXACTLY how you described it, and I already love the damn thing! I also got such a slamming deal, I would be stupid not to have bought it. The HF in my hood sold me a color they didn't have in stock that day, and I needed to pick it up at another store in another city. And since my wife's uncle works for HF I got $40 off for driving to the other store (Mgr negotiated price cut), AND 20% off employee discount on all items. I bought the main unit, the magnetic glove box holder, the side tray, and a large roll of drawer liner all for under $160. Definitely worth my 2hrs making it mine!!! Guys... if you need a rolling box, this is it!!!

PLEASE Include: the metal gauge or thickness on both units. It's likely the same, but over time would make a difference as would the type of paint. Am in Oregon where things rusts nearly over-night! Thumbs UP and Thank You!

That's was an excellent, unbiased, review. Thank you sir!

I own a gen 1 and a gen 2 US General box. I built a frame out of 2" x 2" x 1/4" angle iron using 3" x 2" x 1/4" for the base(bottom) frame. Put them side by side and it works awesome. Have had the gen 1 for 5 years and made the frame and added the gen 2 about a year ago. Best investment I have made. i have a 6+ foot box, 10 drawers plus the huge top section on a frame that can carry at least a couple tons, with a few mods / after market parts added for about $500 total. I use and abuse it daily and it keeps coming back for more. Coworker had a snap-on about same time i got my gen 1, and he had to replace it after a year and a half. he now owns 2 US General gen 2s and loves them. Best bang for the buck i have found in years!

My dad just bought a lime green US general series 2 yesterday and I assembled it for him. The quality overall really does seem great for the price. Sure they're meant as a mechanics cart, but seem to make a great standard toolbox for someone with a small garage and only a moderate amount of tools. For my kind of needs I would absolutely never want one though, the system for the lid to lock the drawers is a deal breaker for me. Sure you close the lid with the drawers open and you can access them just fine, but you have to remember to leave every drawer open after you've had the top open and it's just a pain in the ass when there's no way to disable it. I much prefer the old school method where the locking bars are linked to the lid, then you can pull the pins to remove the locking bars and store everything away in the top.

I saw the same US General tool box in all white at HF. And I knew what I wanted for Christmas. Thank you for the straight forward review 👏🏼

As an automotive and motorcycle enthusiast, I started acquiring tools, I purchased my US General Tool Cart well before this video was made, but boy watching this sure made me feel happy. To this day, years later, it's still one of my favorite items in my garage. This is THE go-to channel for quality, informative and honest reviews.

You have gone above and beyond what I even thought you could review about a tool box. Great video sir.

I love how you compare different brands while being unbiased. It easily allows for the customer to make their own decisions, thus making it a better product review! That being said, I think I might have to go out sometime to get one of those US general Carts!

Searched the comments, and surprised that no one mentioned this. For the handle on the Blue Point that stick out over the lid, just flip it over. Problem solved.

Absolutely love my 2 original service charts. Have had them in use for 2 years as a in house fork lift tech and has held up rather well. With the exception that I've had to pull drawers out several times to move from location to location and bent a rail. No replacement parts that I know of

I purchased the Harbor Freight cart (series 1) about 4 years ago. I have used it for industrial maintenance because it stored a reasonable number of tools and was easy to move around the plant. I now use it in a factory where it is stays in one place. With both applications I find that it does a fantastic job. Plenty of storage and secure enough for valuable tools. Well worth the money.

both box's are probably made at the same factory, just the name plate is different!

Great job. The US General makes a great box for the $. I ordered their 72” box. I’m looking forward to it showing up soon.

I have had my gen 1 us general roll cart for about 7 years now. Still holding up strong.

I bought the original hf 30 cart 7 years ago. Daily mechanic. Every drawer loaded. Over 400lbs of tools on the cart. Worked outside in a parking lot alot of the time. That cart is still kicking but just bought a green series 2. Hands down hf.

This video is extremely well done, I love when all the factors are spelled out so you can see the true difference, which in this case are next to none! I'll be picking this box up from harbor freight, just have to figure out the best coupon option haha. Thanks for an impeccably done review!

Looking for a rollaway tool cart and having seen this video, I’m headed to Harbor Freight for this one. Thanks!

Bought a yellow HF cart today and just finished assembling it. I'm impressed and looking forward to de-crowding my current toolchests.

I bought a green version of the HF tool box about a year ago. What a fantastic deal. I had a 35% off coupon and got the box for under $175. I use it for holding all of my tools for car and bike stuff. What a fantastic box. It works perfect for me. I couldn't justify buying something more expensive.

105 Snap-on reps disliked this video and an additional dislike was from Snap-On Chunky

You really helped me out in this video, I came across this at HF last week and I wondered about the quality. Thanks to your review I know what I want. Keep up the good work!😀

I bought the US General cart because I couldn't afford a Snap On or Matco at the time. I figured if it lasts me 6 to 8 months, I'll be happy. Still using it 9 years later and only replaced the casters once. I'm a mechanic and pretty rough with the cart, and it just keeps going

I bought the same HF tool chest for $160 6 or 7 years ago at Christmas time. To date..... it has been one of the best garage purchases I have made to date. Extremely high quality for the price.

Well that’s a no brainer 🧠!!! Harbor Freight keeps stepping up their game.

Thanks to this video I just became a proud owner of a U.S. General 5 Drawer cart at the Black Friday $180!

I bought the first model US General off a buddy for less than a $100. Had it for almost 3 years of using it daily and nothing is wrong with it. Perfect for service cart use, no complaints at all. Not ideal for a main tool storage. Saying that...I've maxed out each drawer and everything worked as it should. Great product!

Don't make the mistake of hand tightening everything first on the US General, amazing cart but you need lots of slack in every bolt before you place the top chest on which seems sketchy until tightened.

I have 2 of these US General boxes. I love them!! The ONLY weakness I have found is the finish on the older unit did not hold up well. HOWEVER, where it was stored was a damp location. I think the older one may need some support around the wheel caster bolt location as it seems a little weak. Over all, great units, a good value!! I may buy a third unit!! Thanks for your time and work on your videos!!

I purchased the harbor freight and ordered the bumpers and I upgraded the casters.. So far works great.. thanks for the video...

I recently bought the Harbor freight one about a week ago. I like it a lot and the drawers are very smooth when opening and closing. It's a very nice unit. You can't beat the price.

I've had the original HF cart for several years. The comparison is a complete no-brainer. $200 vs. $900? You could probably fill the HF box with Pittsburgh Pro tools and still not be anywhere close to $900. HF is the hands-down winner IMHO.

Oh wow, I can't believe harbor freight even used your review! That's awesome!

I owned version 1 of the HF box. Loved it. Love the spring/lock on each drawer. Some other HF boxes don't have those, sadly. Paid like $150, sold for $100 after years of use. Highly recommended.

Loved the review. Honest and to the point. Very well done. Also, in 2021 there are now SEVEN colors! Black, red, yellow, orange, blue, green, and white. After watching this review and reading a bunch of online reviews, I'm thinking the US General 2 will be the way to go. Update: Yup. Went with a white General 2 and all accessories in black (my garage/tool theme is black and white with a spattering of red here and there...some of it may be blood). Completely regret the decision! After spending over an hour and a half putting it together, I realized that there was a rivet missing where the lid is riveted to the main box. Not only that, but upon completion of assembly, the lid on the right side catches on the box b/c it's not aligned correctly. This is the same side that's missing a rivet! I called Harbor Freight and talked to good ol' Connor. He tells me that it does sound like a manufacturers defect but they don't have anymore in the white. The nearest store is 45 minutes away and he wanted me to drive down there and get a new one! I told him "Look dude, I just spent 90+ minutes putting this damn thing together. Now you want me to take it apart, pack it up, and drive over an hour and half both ways just to do a trade?" No offer of a discount for my wasted time. No offer to ship the correct drawer up to my city so I could drive 5 minutes there to get it. No apology! Is this really how Harbor Freight operates?! This is my first time dealing with them and it's looking like it'll be my last. 0/10 would recommend buying from these guys. Save yourself the hassle.

Great to see you back posting tool reviews ! Please continue ! Best tool review site there is !

I'm here because of the harbor freight flyer. Good reviews. Subbed.

I love the way you review the products.. you show the differences with 0 bias. And like the wheels tell us we can replace them if we wish and a price for it. Excellent review. I have seen reviews on these carts on other channels and i have to say.. your review is the one that sold me on the HF cart. I could by 3 of those carts with upgrades for 1 of the blue point. When it comes to value.. i dont see how the blue point is 3 times better than the HF. Basically they are selling to their fan boys.. knowing their fan boys will buy it because its a snap on. Excellent channel.. Just subbed.

I have just a little over four and a half years on my US general box and it's worked perfectly and flawlessly the entire time and it does get used daily .

I got a U.S General box same size but in black. It is still just as good as it was when it was new. The snap on guy who stops by hates the fact I shop Harbor freight . He tried telling me the snap on box was better metal and rails for the drawers ..... I pointed out how they were exactly the same. Now he no longer tries giving me a monthly snap on catalog

First of all, i for 1 am glad to see you back reviewing again. A lot of hate has been out here on RU-vid with copying & bull reviews. Now on the carts......its not even a battle! HF for the win! Why would i buy 1 when i could buy 3 with upgrades that make it just as useful. I love my kids, wife & new puppies way more than brand loyalty! I do own some SO wrenches & chome sockets but that is my extent. I'm fugul buy quality tools but not truck brands! Sunex impact sockets, OTC pry bars, OTC diagnostic tools, Autel Elite scanner/programmer, Lisle tools galore, OTC Hub Grabbler........ .......alot of this are rebranded truck brands but why pay more? In my humble opinion, just know the game & be smart with your money.

I have to 30 in cart from HF and use it everyday to cart around my most commonly used tools. I love this cart! I added the side tray on both ends for more real estate. On 1 side tray I drilled holes and attached air chucks to hold my most used air tools thus providing more drawer space. HF knocked it out of the park on this one

A few guys at my shop have the 5 drawer tool cart. It's a giant factory, and they're pushed around maybe half-mile to a mile every day. It works great for industrial mechanics.

Matt Hinge -- Ditto! Another outstanding, unbiased, no bull review. I would buy the HF cart. Hands Down it's just the smarter buy.

This was a fantastic video! I'm planning on buying the US General cart ASAP. Thanks for showing the assembly!

I have one of the US General tool carts parked next to my milling machine. I purchased it to hold my milling tooling so I could wheel it up to the machine when working and close the lid to prevent it from filling up with metal chips. I have a LOT of weight in this cart and I'm quite impressed with it. You can't beat it for the price.

We work in industrial maintenance and almost all the guys here have the Harbor Freight and love them never had an issue with them will be buying mine next month

Very good to see you back after some months. How about a tour of the new shop?

Has anyone noticed HF fully sprayed their interior but SnapOn didn't? A pro-mechanic who stares at his cart every 5mins will develop OCD

I absolutely love my U.S. General cart. I use it in a small fab shop that I run all the time. Planning on buying at least one more for the plasma table and then probably powder coat as well. It is sturdy, looks good, and holds more tools than you might think while still being mobile enough to move it all over a shop. Being able to move it was a bigger deal than I realized going from a garage to even just a 2k sq ft shop. Lot more space and a lot more walking around. Excellent video. Loved all of the real world specs like volume and surface area. Got another subscriber here brother.

I have had the black 4 drawer smaller HF cart for going on 10 years now. During that time it’s been moved locally 4 times and across the country twice. It’s held up great with no issues in its sturdiness or even with the paint. It’s been filled with tools since day 1. The bottom tray has held heavy parts like D shackles, heavy hammers, etc with no signs of bending or giving out. I added the side tray and it’s held it’s share of heavy objects with no signs of fatigue. I’ve never been a fan of most HF hand tools, but the boxes have always seemed solid to me and with the Gen 2 and icon lines, I can’t see throwing away a lot of extra money for the budget conscious shade tree or even professional techs. I’ve noticed in the last couple years HF boxes and carts becoming common place in shops across the country. When you can buy 3 HF carts for 1 snap on, it’s a no brainer to me. I have many high dollar tools from the big names and tools are a different subject, but if you have budget concerns, you can’t go wrong with HF boxes and carts. I have never worked for or been endorsed by HF, just my .02

Snap-On made in CHINA!?! NOOOOooo!!! Haha Great review Daniel! Very well done! Most shop guys will think the Snap-On better because the truck shows up every week and you can pay the guy $20 a week for 45 weeks.
