HF rolling 26 4 drawer tool cart

[FadedGray]

Anyone have one of there? Not the biggest fan of HF but with a coupon for 100 seems like a good deal. I'm debating about pulling the trigger on it but just want to hear some feed back first. Thanks.

I love mine.

Fantastic little box had mine for years with zero complaints.

I have had both the red and black units for about 7-8 years. The black one I dedicated to metalworking tools and I hung a flux core welder on the side with a home made shelf. I have a good amount of weight in that cabinet and it has worked perfectly. No issues at all. Just make sure you assemble it well, connect all the bolts loose then tighten and square as you go. The red cart is a little better look and feel and is jut a bit more robust. I keep my sockets and automotive stuff in there. Both are very solid carts and good deals for the money.

Here is mine put wooden sides and doors on mine to keep dust and dirt off of the tools in the bottom.

I have one and while it doesn't hold all of my tools, it is a great little cart. Easy to move and will hold some decent weight. I'm curious to know what everyone uses theirs for?

I use it as my secondary cart to my main HF red 5 drawer tool cart (with attached 7 drawer side box), which has all the "normal" tools (wrenches, sockets, etc). The 4 drawer has crimpers, multimeters, fuses, shrink tubing, **** splices, etc in the top under the lids, soldering stuff in the top left drawer, Dremel things in the top right, many different gauges of wire rolls in the bigger drawer and welding wire and tools in the bottom drawer. In the large open space at the bottom is my Forney flux core welder. This cart also has wrenches, screwdrivers, sockets and other tools that were duplicates in the red cart.

I'm happy with how I've set it up.

Great carts. Just be aware that there are two types.
one has joles in the cross brace for long screwdrivers and one does not. I got messed up with that.

I have both the 4 (black) and 5 (red) drawer tool carts. Both are great but the 5 drawer cart is much better. I bough it at $159.99. Considering the fact that it is an assembled item and not a welded cart it is darn good at a great price. Go 4 and you'll like it, go 5 and you'll love it.

How do you keep sockets and ratchets from sliding in there?

Never had one of these nor have I known someone who owned or owns one.

I have mine on socket holders and I just set my rachets in the box and they don't move.

If you're gonna get one, get the red one

 

[DonkeyFluffer]

I bought the red 5 for $159 and the black 4 for $89. Pounce when they are on sale and it's hard to go wrong. I agree the red is a little better than the black but having both gives me the room and flexibility that one bigger one doesn't and they do so at a good price.

Thanks.
Looks like like I'll be head to HF real soon to grab the black one.

I'm happy with mine, definitely worth $100. While assembling it, don't fully tighten any nuts/bolts until the entire thing is assembled and square.

I have both the black 4 drawer and the red 5 drawer and they are both solid tool carts. I will say that don't really use the black one as much for much any more as I outgrew it and moved everything I had into the red. My son did use the black one for a bit after that but took his tools out & with him when he got stationed in S. Korea so for now it's sitting empty in my back shed. The red is a lot more heavy-duty - thicker steel, better drawer slides and casters - and is taller, wider, and deeper so it holds a lot more.

I do hope your son isn't in North Korea

lol, yeah, good catch. I'll fix the typo. He's in S Korea though right on the DMZ so it's the North that's always on my mind while he's over there.

 

[DonkeyFluffer]

Yep, spent some time on the DMZ myself back in the day. Thank him for his service.

Here's my 4 drawer cart. I use it for welding accessories mostly. I really don't have it too well organized but I know where everything is in there and it keeps most of it in one go-to spot. I use the bottom shelf for my 100 amp "grab it and go" welders. Also, there's a 240v extension cord under there incase I have to bring the Thunderbolt somewhere.
