tool carts, something between HF and the big guys

[jake00]

Is there something between the HF cart (red ) and the big guys(snap/mac/etc)

at work, We need a bigger one than the red HF , but don't need the durability of the big guys. (its not used every day, only when **** breaks)

Sunex has gotten some good reviews, there was a thread a few weeks ago.

I also took a look at the NAPA brand cart a few months ago when it was on sale for like $350 and it was pretty nice for the money, I'm sure it is a re-brand though.

You could always check out the HF cart modification thread for ideas on making a frankencart.

Check out the sunex or homak six drawer carts. They have a nice top till, pry bar storage, and roller bearing drawer slides. Shop around for the best deal.

Napa is homak, put one together for a friend and it was ok. Would go with a sunex cart or a used "big guy" cart if you can find a nice one.

If it makes you feel better, you can pay twice the price for the same 5 drawer tool cart sold in HF through any number of retailers that sell them under a different name or as "unbranded". IMO - that 5 Drawer cart IS the in-between quality you are looking for... The black 4 drawer is basically just like the husky's that are sold out of HD. The red 5 drawer is a nice step up from that.

Here it is on eBay in black

If you really want a better brand, Sunex has some too for around $350 online.. I broke down and bought one of the husky's that were on clearance for $40.. I added a sunex folding shelf and locking screwdriver/pry bar holder.. The red HF is much better than what I have, but even the Husky is decent for light use or home.. If I were a mechanic I wouldn't mind buying the 5 drawer red HF model.. A lot of guys here have them.

Decided to just upgrade to the 44" plus I made a 2" thick white oak top and mounted a small 4" vise. This should suit our needs fir awhile, Still mobile enough, has a top to work on , and a vise....m
