Mac tool cart worth it?

[blackgold]

Found a newish cart with one drawer for 175. Is that a good deal? Don't really need a cart but I'd look good and I can find a use.

Are you talking about the one with a flip lid & one drawer? The end handles are upside down hoops? If so, that's made by Sunex & 175 is steep for it in used condition.

Too much, not worth buying name brand on those kind of cart.

 

[blackgold]

Yes. I think it's 275-300 new? This one is owned but not used.

Like I said, those are re-bagged cart. You can find those way cheaper than that.

For that money, you can get:

wanted a name brand cheap.

They are made in oversea with Mac decal/sticker on it. Same with Snap-on, Matco, Cornwell. All same carts with different decal/sticker.

That *****.

The only "deals" I;ve ever seen on the "big three" service carts (Snap-On, Mac, Matco) , are the occasional CL ad, or , far more prevolent, when a driver takes one in on trade and would rather shop it to other buyers at that stop (even better if it's a bigger mfgr type plant facility with lots of workers) or on his route that day than have to load it back on the truck or keep it around for some time. I've seen lightly used 4 dwr and even 6 dwr. lift lid service carts (Snap-On and Blue Point) go for $150 to $200 by our driver rather than haul it around. If Ultra Yellow, Orange or Green, it's gone in a heartbeat. My guess he made $50 or $100 for moving it 100 feet to the next bay to sell, but it's all about new product for him.

Keep looking, but anything used and truck bought does not come dirt cheap usually.
