I like it. Was pretty interested in getting one. Gave it a google and saw a $1300 price tag. Not so interested any more. Was hoping to see something about 1/4 of that.

edit: Hopefully the copyright thieves at HF take notice so in a year or two I can get the US General version.

It looks interesting :thumbup:

I would prefer a butcher block or stainless steel work top but, the cart has some different useful features compared to others.

Thanks for sharing :beer:

I like that, but for $1300 it's a hard sell. It's main selling point is that it's set up for easy customization, right? There's nothing there I can't do to a cart that's 10% of the cost. Maybe it's something a company would buy to supply to it's employees. It looks like it's smaller than most carts, which is cool. I use a Beta C27S daily and love the size.

Poor design. Euro style garbage like Beta or Hazet would try to saddle someone with. I'll take a cheapo modded HF cart any day and on the higher end ya got Snappy and Proto that blow that off the map

$1300 for that POS, did you see the drawers shake and sway when he opened them, reminds me of the homeowner Craftsman garbage. Its a $249 box and $199 for black friday.

I think the drawer layout is going to present the user with storage constraints if it's being used for tool storage. Those skinny drawers on the right are a waste in my opinion.

It seems like its too small to be that big. It is 41 inches long, but the top drawer is 28.62 inches wide. The paired drawers are 17.64 inches and 8.90 inches (for a total of 26.54 inches). The large work surface top might be nice, not sure about the cabinet, but you have to lug around and store a 41 inch cart for similar drawer storage capability of a 30 inch cart.

The frame is made of 20 gauge and the total weight is 317 lbs.

Looks to me like someone at GW has been paying attention to this joint. Almost every conceivable contraption is accounted for to some extent. I like it, but it would need to come in at a third of its price point to have me even consider looking at one.

My MAC cart wasn't but a couple hundred more, and probably has a lot more usable space. For $1300, the new Sunex cart looks like a much better buy IMO

Looks like a nice cart/box. Might work good as a maintenance cart in many factories. I too think it's priced on the high side. I would think around the $500.00 mark would be pretty fair.

I could make a better mobile bench cabinet from a masterforce 41" and with few addons it be better function/ way better durability and under 800bucks .
the top is same flimsy matt as drawer liners, bit of heavy rubber been better but that probably double the material cost of this poor GW effort .

It appears that the drawer slides are almost but not quite full extension, all that detail work and you can't make those open all the way......

Way overpriced.
I don't mind the design as it is workable for general maintenance in a commercial/industrial setting.
There is room for improvement but there also isn't too much else like it, yet.
Isn't there a Monster version of this?

$400-$500 is where this needs to be.
It's an Asian import, just like a slew of other carts and 41" roll cabs.
If it was Snap On build quality they would sell like hotcakes for $1300.
Ha... It would be 5K+ if it was an EPIQ, and those too would sell.

By 2020 copies will be on the Harbor Freight showroom floor.

Its pretty damn big, no way you're getting that for "500 or less". $750-$800 seems more realistic but they need to get rid of the thin drawers and just do full length all the way down. Someone wasn't thinking on that one.

If you are working as a millwright, aren't those small drawers handy for measuring instruments, taps and dies, files, punches and chisels, hammers, pullers and all sorts of stuff that a auto tech doesnt use. In a mobile cart over rough ground or a box in a service truck, either drawer dividers or smaller drawers to keep the tools in place

Also quite a heavy box at over 300 lbs. Carts usually sell for a few hundred below list. Its different, might be worth it to someone

Interesting, I could see it being worth while if i was working in an industrial environment. The side cab is cool but I would rather have a prybar/long tool storage rack on the other end.

I can get two of my 52" HF boxes and have money left over vs buying that since 28" . Doo companies look at price points and competition?
