That's a rebadged Sunex cart. you can get all of the parts needed from them or online.

one word of caution though, if you have more weight in the drawer than in the cart, they tip pretty easy when the drawer is fully open.

They're nice carts.

Nice cart for Free !!

Heck I'd leave it yellow with some heavy clean-up and touch up paint where scratched. It matches pretty well with your Shell barrel trash can . . . cool !!

It's good to be different. Stay with the YELLOW

I would replace all parts needed but won't paint it. I like the yellow color with the black Matco logo. But that's a great deal and Yous ****.

Almost like watching someone burn a flag to some people

Tough crowd. lol.

Right on man. It's yours and you did what you liked. Can't please everybody so you got to please yourself. I bet it looks cool next to your big box. Get a pic together when you get a chance.

By the way, wtf is wrong with your camera? Got dog slobber on the lens or something?

I love FREE. I'll give you a "you ****".

Looks good. The way I look at it is, Matco rebadged a sunex, so why can't you rebadge the sunex again to a snap on? I would have done the same.

"Patina" is an old french word for "lazy"
