Matco JSC750 service cart

[Dolsontools]

I picked up my first JSC750 today. thought you guys might like to see some pics. the cart is 46" tall and 40"wide and weighs in at just over 300 pounds empty. the cart has a fully welded construction and is built just like a 4S box and even uses the same drawer slides with adjustable detents.

Nice. How much?

Looks nice. Corner guards look like the ones on my napa service cart.

I like the opening for power cable to charge batteries of tools/flashlights.

the decal in the lid came uninstalled for some reason. the customer who is buying this is a perfectionist body man, so I'll let him install it. it has a matco emblem embossed on the front of the stainless top.

I just took delivery of one of these yesterday. Mine is sublime green and so far I really like it.

matco truck stop by the shop with one of these friday, one of the younger guys got one and 2 others placed an order. Seems to be a hot item this year.

i see these being the krcs46 of my shop, aka the starter box. im a starting tech and have a krsc46, and most starting techs/gs's have krsc46 cus of the size vs. price, but i see this giving them a run for their money.

That's a great looking cart. I like how the Screwdriver and Prybar holders are set up.

Guess the muscle cart wasn't too popular..

i have a muscle cart and a guy in my shop just got one of these. it is quite a bit bigger than a muscle cart, like a lot bigger. also, $500 more. these are pretty nice though, the stainless top is a nice touch. these things arent something id want to wheel around, more like an actual box. my muscle cart is just a cart with drawers.

 

[Roots]

Looks sharp!

 

[MattPersman]

its pretty nice in person, saw it in black on monday. we couldn't come together on price so I passed.

 

[Toolhorder]

I like the layout but the top is too thick looking in the front for me. Plus these things are toolboxes now not really carts. My Muscle cart loaded down is a PITA to move around the shop.

 

[jonb347]

one thing i didn't like about the stainless tops on these is its just like stainless sheetmetal, i wouldve liked it to be a little thicker.

Am I the only one hates the plastic bumpers? I wish they made chrome replace strips.

Matco guy had one on his truck last monday their not to bad. Came into the shop to tell me about it and saw my new SO box. Dont think he was too excited about it. Bought tools for almost 2 years from the guy and never would cut me a deal on a box so I went else where. For the money of those carts Id rather buy a used classic 78 or something.

Kind of apples to oranges. A cart can be a primary work box and make you more efficient on the move. You wont find many guys who are willing to or have the means to trundle a loaded Classic 78 next to a job.

Honestly i'd spend the big bucks on a really nice cart that will see constant use at every task before i'd plunk 1.5-2k down on a box that is going to sit stationary and only provide storage for the seldom use/specialty tools and equipment. Think about the stuff you actually need to do 95% of your tasks and i bet you can fit it in a cart with ease.

Those big carts may as well be boxes. Not to may people want to push them around the shop. I use my 4 drawer cart at work everyday. Their handy but if you needed more space for the money Id buy a used box and get a smaller cart. But its been my experience most guys start with a 4 or 5 drawer cart and then need more space so again for the amount of space you get for the money your better off with a used or trade in box. IMO. but each guy has his own way of doing things.

I love service boxes like that. what you do, is you keep your most common tools in the service cart... this way, i can roll the cart right up to where im working on the truck// basically dont have to go to and from so much.... but the things i dont have to use so often- a torque wrench, or a wheel nut socket, or a 36mm wrench, specialty tools, etc- can stay in the big box.

They are boxes but compacted in order to maximize space.

40.75'' x 46.25'' x 22'' (W x H x D)
Weight ~315lb

Classic 78
55" x 39" x 24"
Weight ~412lb

The box is a foot longer and nearly 100lb heavier empty and doesnt have a top till [the real benefit to a cart]. Its not comparable.
