New? Craftsman cart

[bchee]

Just noticed that Craftsman sells 2 carts similar to the Napa/Cornwell design (Homak/Balkamp) with the plastic bumpers on the sides.

Maybe this is old news....

Craftsman is not what it used to me so much is now made in china. Why pay a made in the usa for something made in china.. I have looked at both the cm and the ones from hf.. hf's are thicker metal and just better built all the way around.

Do yourself a favor and buy the HF one. I did and I have to say it made me give my Craftsman box to a neighborhood kid. It is so well made. I couldnt believe how good this box is. The drawers have Ball bearing slides and all lock. The metal is thick. You cant beat the price either, at a 159.00 on sale. Just my two cents.

I saw the craftsman in person (3 drawer) and the metal feels pretty thin.
