Husky VS. US general tool cart

[morrillm06]

So I have searched and couldn't find anything comparing the two and if im missing it somewhere someone could just post a link here, But has anyone hands on touched both 4 drawer black tool carts. I know the us general is the garage journal cupcake but the Husky has a higher load rating and it appears that the lid already opens completely so no hinge mod nessary.?

I would go and touch them both first but the nearest harbor freight is almost two hours away and if im going, I want to know that im going to purchase the cart.

THanks

The U.S. General is not a bad cart, but most of the stuff at the H.F. stores is not put together with any care and has been finger f.... more than imaginable.

When I bought a H.F. portable welding table, if it was by the one at the store I should have run out the door, buy when I put mine together right it is a sweet table. I'd give it a 4.8 out of 5.

You should post a link to the Husky cart you are considering.

Basically the same price same color same drawer layout just slight differences
I did just realize that the husky is a few inches wider tho

The red hf is better

The HF red cart is better and cheaper. The HF black cart can be bought for $99 pretty regularly. The red for about $145. You have quite a price difference in the ones you are considering. That Husky is $170. I would put it between the two in quality. I was shopping for one when the other Husky went on clearance for $40. It may be lighter duty but for home use it was a no brainer.

I have messed with the husky 33in. and i own the HF red cart 5 drawer and the black cart 4 drawer. They are pretty closely matched. You may loose a drawer with husky but you gain it in width. If you compare them i would give the HF red cart 55% and the husky a 45%. HF a little higher because I am not a fan of black and I like the drawer locks on the HF cart.

Thanks Dodge that's what I was looking for, someone who has actually fondled both. So build quality are similar and its a toss up is what your saying other than your color preference

Yes sir that pretty much sums it up. Dont know what 1950 merc is talking about pricing is what it is. The husky is $169.00 red cart not sure I got mine a few years back.

The black Husky cart in stores is 149.**

iv got a red hf tool cart and a green bluepoint cart, i like the hf better. better wheels and layout. love the hf .

 

[jerseykat1]

HF cart is better.

For the price....get the red harbor freight cart. Probably a little more room. My opinion it's pretty stout and the drawer slides are nice. You can find the coupon for 169.99 I think.

It was $169.00 at my HD just yesterday unless the price just dropped.

I see plenty of mechanics here with the US General carts and they love them, those Huskys dont last that long before they're replaced with a different box. People ***** about the slides and casters, i dont personay own one tho
