HF 5 Drawer Service Cart

[cgraz1187]

I am debating on buying either the HF 5 drawer service cart, or the husky top and bottom chest (26") thats on sale at the home depots for $160. I need jsut a bit more storage and dont mind just keeeping my old box and adding another rather than just buying a 40". I was wondering if anyone has any pics of the HF cart loaded with tools so i can get an idea of what it will hold. I like the cart as it is wider which may allow me to keep some cabinet long screwrivers and pry bars in, which the husky (waterloo) wont.

Haven't finished putting mine together. Some idiot (me) accidentally installed the legs upside down. *hint* remove the drawers.

14ga steel vs 20 or 22ga steel, you do the math. The 150lb weight indicates beef.

Mine was glossy, I mounted my can rack at the top, and plan to enclose the sides, back, bottom, with metal peg board. That will provide secure bottom storage and allow flexible side storage. May add some small side drawers or bins.


EDIT:
used the 20% off coupon yesterday...

The Harbor Freight boxes are generally of a higher quality than the Husky.

That's a nice job. Well thought out.

only thing i cant really fit is my 36" extensions (3/8 and 1/4) in the drawer i want them in (second little one on the left). I have mine farily loaded down. I was surprised how fast i filled it up.
