Should i buy these rolling carts?

[sean Buick 76]

I found these carts in my local classifieds and i am not sure if i should buy them or not... I an on the fence... He wants $160 for both and i know they cost big $ new but its hard to justify spending much money on a used cart..

Vote and help me decide yes or no:

IMHO I would go for it, I am not sure what their retail price would be new but they look in not to bad a condition.

My vote would be no. For the garage anyways....

Not into plastic.

I will stick with my offer of $140 for both, so if it is meant to be then he will take my offer.....

Plastic medical grade carts are special duty built and have to be made to be easily sterilized. This means no greases, open bearings or other areas that can gather contaminants. Casters have to have sealed bearings. They are very expensive.

BUT.

Those things that make them so nice in a medical clinic don't make them suitable for a garage in my opinion. They don't handle weight well. The tool they were made for are very small and light weight. Only a few per drawer. Plastic bearings or slides only. Dry self lubricating plastic like Delrin are common.

It's great for hobbies, sewing, model building, art supplies or inside your house. It's not something I'd want for the garage where it would quickly get destroyed in the environment.

Now I could be wrong- there are some carts that are aluminum with plastic skins, and they can handle the weight, but they would normally be a lot more expensive.

I would pass.
