has anyone noticed that there are 2 different versions of this new cart...possibly built in 2 different factories.

First, there is only 1 part # for the blue cart, but multiple part #'s for the red and black ones...

the most notable differences are the piano hinge for the lid...and the black or red MAY have extra bolts on the cross pieces under the actual box. the blue never has these holes/bolts.

IMO the blue, and black/red made at that factory are slightly inferior, mostly because those 4 extra bolts stiffen it up slightly.

metal thickness may be a few thousanths different too...im taking a mike up this week to check.

I have a damaged blue one I may return or buy at a discount...will talk to the Mgr. to see if he knows anything when im there.

The only thing that bothers me with these carts is the overhang on the lid. My snap on cart is flush and these hang over a solid 2 inches...

But material seems thin but no thinner than my krsc33

Not the cart (I just bought the black one, still in the box in my dining room), but I don't think anyone else has noticed that the new 44" top chest - the lid doesn't open anywhere near as high as the old one.. they really need to install longer pistons on the lid for that thing.
