HF tool cart drawer dimensions

[redman43]

does anyone have the interior dimensions of the drawers and the top till on the 5-drawer cart at HF? This one: http://www.harborfreight.com/hand-tools/tool-carts/five-drawer-service-cart-95272.html

Thanks.

Do a search, I drew it up in CAD and posted a PDF of it a while back. It's on my other computer that is not with me. I'll try to find it.

Don't worry about finding it grooveking, I am linking your excellent thread:

Thanks, you are quick. A side note in Adobe PDF viewer if you hit the Control, Shift and plus or minus keys at the same time it will rotate the image being viewed.

This reminds me, even though I have the Waterloo at home and a Snap On KRSC46 at work, I'm going to score one of the Harbor Freight 5 drawers, it's just too good for the price to pass up.

Thanks GrooveKing. I did find your post earlier today (awesome job BTW) and it got me thinking about the other drawers and the top till as well as the depth of the drawers. I would love it if someone had done it in CAD like you, but just the measurements are perfectly fine for my needs.

I did measure up the drawers but didn't draw them up, somewhere at home I have the drawer dimensions. I'm sure one of the HF 5 cart guys can easily measure them up.

It really is. I left my black HF cart at my parents and my dad refuses to give it back. I would love a MAC cart, a few guys in the shop have one and they seem pretty slick. The NAPA cart for 399 also looks like a decent value. It's a good time for tool carts lol

The NAPA cart is made by Homak, Homak and Waterloo make the majority of the bolt together carts for many of the other tool companies. The Cornwell carts are pretty nice,having the extra drawers and NAPA was selling an identical Homak cart last month for $399 which was a steal compared to Cornwell's price.

Of note the Waterloo cart is made in China, so the Craftsman is too. The Waterloo has a higher weight capacity versus the HF and the Homak units, but the only difference I could find is that Waterloo has two folded steel runners that goes in between the casters and the bottom pan, there by stiffening the bottom end of the cart. So if you guys add some steel across the top of the casters that tie them together and better supports the unit, you'll be increasing it's weight capacity. All three carts, HF, Homak and Waterloo were within a few thousandth's in thickness so I believe they are even the same gauge of steel.
