Cornwell 7 drawer

[dctacoma]

Found this box on craigslist kinda cheap...anyone own one or have any thoughts on it. How well is it built and drawer space?http://http://www.cornwelltools.com/webcat/products.php?product=CTBMM700BK-%252d-7-Drive-Black-Cart

Is it this one? I have one and I like it, its fairly well built although for some reason I cannot get the drawers to lock. Its a great cart though, holds all I need in a cart and then some. I have a buddy who used one as his main box as he was getting started and then traded it on a snappy for more than he paid for it too.

FWIW; I paid about $500 IIRC for my blue one and my buddy got his burgundy one for about $350. Cornwell doesn't seem to attract the prices that the other truck brands do around here though.

I bought a used one in great shape 8 mos ago for $550. I really like it and it's built pretty tough. The blue is kind of ugly but that's OK with me.

Napa sells the exact same box for $399 new

NO! The Napa cart is not the same. To begin with the NAPA cart has two drawers instead of one at the top. The Napa cart measures 19 inches deep by 30 inches wide. Whereas the Cornwell measures 20 deep by 38.5 wide. The Napa cart has two rods in the front that lock the drawers when the lid closes. The Cornwell has a sliding lever in the back to lock and unlock the drawers. On the NAPA cart you can only open one of the full width drawers at a time. You can't have more than one open at once. The Cornwell till is deep enough to store pry bars and still be able to close the lid. You can't do it on the NAPA cart because the till is much shallower. The NAPA cart has a smaller footprint and will hold enough tools to do about 80-90% of mechanics tasks depending on what you work on. The paint is much better on the Cornwell unit. Both carts are made in the PRC and smell like Harbor Freight when you take them out of the cardboard box for the first time. I own both. I get more use from these carts than my full size boxes.

I have the same cart. It's pretty nice. I like that it has drawers all the way down. No way I'd pay the list price for one. It's not that nice.
The rubber baby buggy bumpers are it's best feature

They sound exactly the same to me
