I'm undecided on a Cornwell 4 drawer or the HF 5 drawer cart, I plan to be wheeling the cart on cement floor as well asphalt. What are the Pro's and con's between the two for those of you that own them? How are the casters on the HF? The cart will be used every day "Professionally"

il just add in that the HF has a low top the handles on some of my snap on screw drivers and longer pry bars hit lid and i don't like that you cant open drawers when the lids closed but that's a personal preference and someone has put a solution to that in the 5 drawer mod thread if your willing to do some cutting

I have a hf 5 draw cart and I can only fit my 8inch prybar in the slots on the side so that *****. The cornwell cart is much more expensive but it feels much more solid and smoother. Supposedly the cornwell 4 draw cart is also available from matco and napa.overall both are solid carts but one thing to consider with the cornwell is dealer support if something goes wrong you have an actual person to help fix the problem whereas I don't know how much luck you will have with hf. Im looking to upgrade to either a cornwell 800 or a snap on ksrc 46. In my professional reccomendation that if you can afford the cornwell cart get it.

I used the HF cart professionally for a while before I got my KRSC46. It's great FOR THE MONEY. That doesn't make it a great cart. The casters ****, especially if you have a lot of weight in it. The screwdriver/prybar area isn't deep enough. Worst drawer liners I've ever used. It just feels and looks cheap. If you can afford the Cornwell cart, get it.

Here's my biggest reason to get the HF cart if you're a pro... I knew I would end up wanting a large cart like the KRSC46, but didn't need the space and couldn't afford it at the time. Why spend the money on a mid-size truck brand cart only to get rid of it in a year?
