Was lined up to purchase a Snap on cart but between one being sold out from under me and another not working out I decided to just get this cart new .

First thoughts had me concerned over the drawer weight capacity limits. The color is perfect match for my vehicles but I know it may get dirty easier. It is a tool
box though so why worry. Listed as 18 ga metal. Shipped fully assembled (minus handle) and ready to go on a pallet. Freight was free of charge even with a residential delivery with a lift gate . Total price was around 650 tax included. Some colors are cheaper but the white is limited availability distributor wise.

Once unboxed there was damage to the corner bumper guard that is yet to be worked out. But it did it’s job and no damage to the cart. The box seems very sturdy and of high quality for the price range. I chose against the atd and homak as they had the split top drawers and once I saw the white I had to have it. Fully loaded drawers do not seem to have any trouble . I am happy with the layout of all the same size width of drawers. My only complaint as of now is that you have to lock the lid to keep it shut. Not a huge deal but I have never locked my boxes .

Size is 35” wide x 21” deep x 39” tall and comes with full drawer liners
Top compartment is 34 3/8” wide x 19 3/4” deep including pry bar and screwdriver storage

Main drawers are 29 1/4” wide x 17.5” deep

3 drawers 2 1/2” deep
2 drawers 3 1/4”deep
1 drawer 4 1/4” deep


Overall for the price and color options I think these carts are great for the money. Seem very sturdy and I am extremely happy with the size and quality for the price point.

Nice buy. I thought the SO options were worth looking at, similar to your other thread, but you got one that should meet your needs a long time. :beer:

You will be happy with that cart. I have a red montezuma version and it's been great. I had to put static casters on the front to make it manageable on the uneven shop floors.

Aside from 2 broken slides from dropping a tire on an open drawer, it's been fantastic. Any bigger and it would be moveable where I work.

Snap on was my first choice but between one being sold out from me, one not being paid off and some in rough shape. There were not any other good to great shape carts in my area without a 2 hour drive each way. If another pops up I would surely consider it to compare. I am happy with the sunex and the color had me sold.

I had a cart with a lid that wouldn't quite stay closed. Added a mat to the outside of the lid to protect it and it was enough extra weight to stay closed. Could also stick a few more tools or trays to the inside that would weigh it down.

Looks great, especially in that color combination. Who did you buy it from? I really like the looks of those carts and have been talking myself in and out of picking one up for awhile now

Box looks awesome! I’d love to see how you fill this thing up!
I will try for some more photos, thanks.

I appreciate the tips.

I used toolpan.com
The white is only sold to one distributor per sunex. It is not as avalible as other colors and is almost always drop shipped from a company “ISN”. Walmart has jb tool sales as a third party vendor. I ordered from there only to be refunded the next day as out of stock. I believe it was because it was listed for over 100$ off what it is sold for from jb tool sales direct website. I even emailed them and they said they had stock of them. If you are open to other colors they can be found cheaper. Great cart for the price.

Great looking cart.
Thanks for the review.

I appreciate it. Thanks

Here are some photos. I am coming from a Milwaukee 30” chest top and bottom and surprisingly have an empty drawer in this . It is smaller in size but the layout is terrific for my needs. I am in the market for a new set or 2 of Combination wrenches if I can make my mind up but for now I added an organizer in that drawer.

Good looking cart! I like how much easier it is to see stuff in a white box...

Nice cart. Have you seen the Pinup Series? There are 3 in the series so far, kinda cool.
https://sunextools.com/products/premium-full-drawer-service-cart-pin-up-girl-gertie/

I did, they look great as well. I almost went for the green “Dorothy” cart but the white was my top choice.

:thumbup:That's a sharp looking tool box.

Thank you.

I did not realize that either , it does brighten everything up .

If you get a chance, can you measure the width of the top are (between the slots)? I’m trying to see if I buy a Matco tool grid if it will work in my current cart and a sunex when I get one :)
