Nice find! Been hunting locally for a good 2 shelf roll cart that isn't a HF with a different badge on it. **** for luck so far.

I have that cart as well. I can not believe how sturdy it is and smooth that sucker rolls.

That is an older Cart. I think is a rebadged snap on. Snap on sold them but I remember buying one of these, that I still have today, from a no name and it still works great even at 20 years old. Good find.

Horizontal **** collectors! I'm a real slob, and I have the HF version. It's a catch all for **** I need to throw away, not to mention it takes up my valuable real estate in my garage. This spring, it goes!

:+1: Had one, took up too much space for me. Guy a few doors down routinely uses it for transmissions and the like.

I have a slightly larger Matco cart I got 20yrs ago. My neighbor apparently got run off, his wife left, and the landlord threw all their stuff outside. The pile of stuff set there for 5 days. The fifth night, the cart followed me home. The city came 3 weeks later and removed the rest of the pile.

I love mine. I'm a minimalist, so I thought long and hard about whether I was going to allow a cart in my garage. Ultimately, I decided the versatility would be worth it if I adhered to one rule: Don't leave stuff on the cart (unnecessarily)! I have the same rule for my work bench and the top of my tool box. Like another person said, it's hard to find something better than the typical HF offering. I wanted a cart that had two shelves and, maybe, one drawer. Not have drawers is a key to not using them as a catchall. The ones we had at work were unusable because of how much **** they always had on them. Not so, here. I can use it as a work stand, to transport fairly heavy objects in from the car, to put tools on for working on cars in driveway, to hold cleaning supplies for teardowns or detailing, for medium term storage of a part being worked on, for painting, and a lot of other things. Also, I decided I going to make a little table top out of wood for it that nests into the top shelf and can be used to give it a flat work surface.

Looks like you've found plenty of uses for it!

I cut up some thick closed cell foam and lined both trays to keep it going strong for a long time. I do lots of car stereo installs so having this cart is just what I need. I can store all the parts taken off door panels in the tray instead of losing them under the front seats.

I have actually been using what appears to be an old Ikea table that I mounted swivel castors to the bottom of. It is exactly the same size as this tool tray so interchanging it into my garage is a cake walk. I will keep it around as it has rollers and I do not care if it gets paint, nails, glue or anything else as I just take a paint scraper to the top and move on.

I can see how this would only get in the way for most. I have 2 benches to work on in my shop and plenty of tool storage, I can do my best to keep this tray clear and ready to put in work.
