I see this cart is on special for $299 this week

My local store does not have one setup on display, anyone have one or used one?

How is it quality wise & how would you compare it to other carts available in this price range?

Last thing, CDN Tire often has specials, especially on their Mastercraft & Maximum brands; anyone know if this cart at 50% is as good as it gets or does it go at 60 or 70% off at times?

I feel like I've seen it cheaper but I also think they've jacked up the regular price. I think that used to be a $3-400 regular price cart that would go on sale for $150-200 or so. Maybe I'm thinking of a smaller one, but I don't think so.

Maybe you are thinking of this one?

Both of them look identical to the Harbor Freight carts:

I have one replaced my harbour freight cart when it died. There are a few things that are different from the harbour freight, drawer sizes are a little different, lid is straight up and down when open not on an angle and it is beefed up more at the wheels. I had this cart about a week and a half and had a transport truck roll back and hit it while it was full of tools, causing it to roll over backwards and hitting a set of forks for a skidsteer. We rolled it back over and u wouldn't even know it happened other then one scratch in a drawer handle. I would recommend this cart.

Yup...that would be it! They used to have it in black though which is probably where my confusion was.

I am in upstate NY about once every other month and had been looking at the HF carts online. The problem is that the closest HF to where I am (Massena, NY) is 4 hour round trip. I checked the shipping and it is about $95.

The red HF cart, once I add the exchange it is about $230 ($170US with coupon), plus another $95 (~ $130 with exchange) or a 4 hour drive to pick it up at the store.

To get this CDN Tire cart is so much easier and quicker for me if it is a good quality unit (at $299CDN).

Thanks for the feedback
