Thank you Rick, I am pleased with the mods so far, I had some foam tape and cut a couple of pieces to guard against the edges of the tray support from marking up the legs. I've got a couple of guys working in my yard today, I plan to enlist their help getting the cart into my house. I have removed the drawers and the cutting board top in order to make the weight manageable. I will bend down the hook on the rear end of the drawer to disable to lid latch before putting those back in the cabinet.
I'm not good enough to predict Harbor Freight's sales or coupons, but you can use the Hazard Fraught Price Tracker to see when it has gone on sale before and possibly extrapolate. You could also set an alert.

We are going out of town for Thanksgiving, but there is a HF not too far away from where we will be staying. Guess I will get to find out if the box will fit in the back of a Beetle!
Actually it’s branded under their “Performax” brand not Masterforce.
It'll be a mouthful, but do whatever you can - it's worth it!
Damn, thought I was gonna make it through 2024 without a single mistake...
The 4 drawer carts are shallower than the 5 drawer. They don't "splice" in that regard.
what about between the frame? 5 drawers' seems narrower due to wider angle iron. I wouldn't mind making a shelf behind the shallower boxes.

IIRC I got two sets at HF: https://www.harborfreight.com/180-piece-harness-grommet-set-67582.html
I think I read here from one member that he covered the bottom of the entire screwdriver tray with a rubber mat that had screwdriver holes a bit smaller than the ones in the metal exactly centered over those holes. Served as grommets as well as a mat for other little things. That's not a possibility for my cart, else I would have done that.Finally managed to finish assembly, kept having to go do other things which were not as fun, like going to the store the day before Thanksgiving! I believe I saw it mentioned somewhere among the 100 some-odd pages that people were putting grommets into the screwdriver holes. Lowe's a good place to pick those up or would I be better off looking elsewhere?
This is genius.
Although you won't get sales forecast, signing up for the emails from HF will get the sales ads as they come out.
I did see that he got one. I just wanted to throw it out there about signing up for the HF email. You might think it would be common knowledge but not everyone knows about it. Just spreading the good word.... tools on sale.
Rick was right, he did see that mod here. It was from me on page 99. Been working great and holding up fine.
Ooh, I like it. I'm messing with a similarly whacky build at the moment.Not mine, from a FB group I'm in.
Like the idea. Don't know how well it will hold up.
OK I give. WTF is that? Have you turned it into a parts washer or a cnc plasma cutter or something? I'm just wild guessing here.
Yes, a cnc plasma table. That's an ArcDroid cnc plasma "robot". I'm still getting it setup so the torch and control interface aren't mounted yet, but I'll follow up with more pics.
Hey @Hakeem - I really like that look. Any info on where you picked up the diamond plate rubber mat?This is genius.
@Dixie_Flatline - one other idea is to put diamond plate rubber mat on the top of the cart. Looks cool and protects the finish a bit better. Works great if you get the side tray (also recommended)
went and measured one yesterday, they are not the same size.
going to need a review of that arc droid when you get it all setup and have been using it.
