Harbor Freight five drawer service cart review

[ALVIE78744]

Do you order it online or Do they Have them at the Store? Thanks

[vegasfordguy]

@ALVIE78744 I bought mine in the store. Google 20% off harbor freight coupon for a better deal!

I wanted to say thank you for the video. I also work in the automotive field and also understand that the money you spend on boxes and tools can add up very quickly! Ive always been a fan of the old saying that "tool boxes dont make you money...the tools inside do!''! So in short, dont listen to these guys that talk smack about your cart...enjoy spending the extra bucks you saved on you family sir! Great job and dont let the "haters" get you down!!!

[vegasfordguy]

@crabbyjake Thank you, That was a very nice thing to say!

[1promods]

What is it with you people and your negativity, If you dont like it dont buy it!! And while your at it throw out everything that is made in china in your home and Office. If you wanna pay 700 to have matco tools on your box then go get one!! Thanks for the video!

[wrenchbender320]

I mean really we live in america where theres endless selection of great product new and used both domestic or imported is it necessary to buy this fucking crap.

[vegasfordguy]

@wrenchbender320 Whatever makes you happy I guess. You seem to know it all.

[Z9Falcon]

@wrenchbender320 We live also live in America where there is a free market economy. You don't seem to grasp this concept. If "this fucking crap" (or China made stuff, I'd assume) isn't here, I guarantee you will be begging for competition. Think before you speak.

[wrenchbender320]

@Z9Falcon ,hey falcon yes free market but also we have ''free speech'' so i will speak whatever the fuck i want without thinking OK?

[Z9Falcon]

@wrenchbender320 Thank you for admitting that! Do as you please. =)

[wrenchbender320]

CHINESE FUCKING CRAP

[vegasfordguy]

@wrenchbender320 nice language. I recommend you spend around $700 on the same box that's branded differently. Then perhaps you will be happy. Merry Christmas.

[JohnDeere30201]

@vegasfordguy HB is okay but buying American helps American jobs i would spend 700 bucks for a mac but if i were short on money i would buy that

[vegasfordguy]

@JohnDeere30201 I understand what you are saying & used to feel the same exact way. Unfortunately things are different in today's world. I'm not about to spend a small fortune on a tool box for bragging rights. If the box & tools get the job done & put some money in my pocket then that's what matters. The politicians have sold the US out to China, Just the way things are in today's world. Have you seen the Chinese Snap On tools that are selling at Cosco?

[UBBERTANKER]

@wrenchbender320 matco=china and tiwan as well

[taledarkside]

chinese vs american made

you can load more tools with american made. Plus, when you roll it around, the thing isn't gonna feel like its going to collapse.

[vegasfordguy]

@taledarkside You obviously haven't ever owned this box. It's not your typical Chinese made junk. It is a very solid & sturdy box which will take whatever you throw at it. By far the best bang for the buck by far!

[taledarkside]

@vegasfordguy

Not when you are putting more than 300lbs of tools in it, and try to roll it around.

[vegasfordguy]

@taledarkside Actually yes, it's very sturdy. has roller bearing drawers and very heavy duty wheels. You wouldn't think it's built this strong but it really is.

[SilentlyCreeping]

Watch some of my videos to find out why things arent made here anymore. I agree though i bought the cheaper black roll cart 2nd hand. it works pretty good.

[SilentlyCreeping]

Hey ill keep my hard earned money in America as much as possible. Whats left of her that is. Drop by my channel anytime if you like tools, cars or music.

[vegasfordguy]

@SilentlyCreeping There's not much made in America anymore. Many of your GM, Ford & Chrysler products are made in Mexico, or at least parts of them. Some of the GM wiring harnesses are made in China. America is not putting out the quality that it once did. I love the USA however in this day & age it's about living smart & saving money. There is not any American made tool box that comes close to the quality of this box for the price.

[bubbawinchester]

hey man when you were opening up the tool box drawers I saw some mini ratchets I think ? can you please tell me where to get em from. btw nice video!

[vegasfordguy]

@bubbawinchester The 3 stubby ratchets? I got them at HF a few years ago but to be honest they were crap, the gears were very sticky. Thanks.

[bubbawinchester]

@vegasfordguy does snap on have em?

[2stage90]

I got this same one, I needed it for all my impact sockets,stud extractors, and my air tools. I work at a Ford Dealer, I aint knocking the big 3 boxes but the older mechanics didnt laugh, once they started opening the drawers, its sturdy. I would compare it if you took cornwell and merged it with Craftsman this would be the outcome. I needed a cheap box but I would buy this one again over the "good quality Craftsman" I was looking at. The box dont make you money.. Tools do

[hp11208]

Nice i bougth the 4 drawer black one for 99 bucks, very strong im gonna get the red one too when the price goes down for 150 dollars.

[colbycous01]

ill give ya $20 for it if ya ship it and throw in the china tools. i need some tools for my 12y/o to play with. it only took a couple scrapped knuckles for me to learn to put my dads tools away, and learn what good tools where.

[vegasfordguy]

@colbycous01 You don't know anything about this box, check it out for yourself before you knock it as it will compare with anything out there that cost 3 times as much! You would be a fool to spend 3 times as much on the same quality of box. Do you really thing that all of these comments are wrong?

[sundrop636]

@colbycous01 Harbor freight boxes really are good boxes I rocked on for a long time everyday in a shop no problems from it the only reason I dont have it now is that I outgrew it and needed a bigger box even then I didnt want to sell it but had no room when I got my new box so dont knock it till ya try it now as far as hand tools I am snap-on all the way by the way what kind of box do you have?

[chevyhs]

I bought this tool box about a month ago and I love it. I spent about 3 days going to Sears and OSH comparing other boxes and I found you only get really good quality craftsman boxes when you go for the really really expensive ones. I do not make my living off my tools and therefore did not need a really high end one. Directions could be a little clearer but assembly is easy enough without them. Great buy!!!!!

[catfish93as]

im so going to get this cart now

[Jeeepman83]

i just got a four draw for free from a relative i use it at work for a cart so i don't have to move my 56" chest all over i love it.

[6825178]

I'm not knocking Harbor Frieght at all. I am an inside track club member and I shop there a lot but you really have to watch what you buy from there. One thing I will say is that the red US General tool chests and tool carts are much better quality than Craftsman, and in my opinion, comparable to Snapon, Mac, Matco and Cornwell. I've been an Industrial Mechanic for over 20 years and even though I don't use Harbor Frieght hand tools my US General tool chests rocks.

[vegasfordguy]

@6825178 I would agree with your comment. I'll tell you another item that's really great is their Earthquake impact guns & air ratchets, They also compare to the big names. The hand tools are fine for the do it yourselfer but I wouldn't recommend them for the pro.

[murfmeef]

Nice cart. I bought the black 4 drawer model. It is normally 239.99 but I got it for 99.99. I have had it for a week or so and I think it is awesome. I work at a store/warehouse called Scratch & Dent Appliances. We buy damaged machines from the manufacturers, repair them, and sell them. This thing is fucking awesome, I hate walking all over the damn warehouse looking for tools.

[vegasfordguy]

@murfmeef The black box isn't quite as strong as the red box, but for the price you can't go wrong! They are both great boxes for the money!

[motorhead1]

How is security on the HF box? I have a Craftsman box, and I want to get rid of it because it is so easy to bypass the lock mechanism and get at the tools. I would think the higher priced boxes have much better security.

[vegasfordguy]

@motorhead1 Well if you really need the box to be secure then I would recommend putting a heavy duty hasp type lock on it. The lock that it comes with is just your standard easy to pick lock. Probally not much different than your Craftsman lock.

[dc7018welder]

would that hold up with heavy use in a weld shop ? 

[spiderx1016]

Thanks for the video. I think I will be purchasing one soon.

[charged]

I just got one of these today at their Memorial Day sale. Awesome tool cart for the price. Apparently they have started painting them a glossy fire engine red now. Mine came that way, but the store display model and a lot of others I've seen have a matte red finish.

[acaemar]

A steady hand with the camera goes a long way to produce a great little video.  Good job!

[jakgop]

Can u fit deep sockets standing up in it and be able to close the lid? Can u fit a pry bar in the screwdriver compartment and close the lid?

[vegasfordguy]

@jakgop You could close the lid with deep sockets standinding upright, however I keep them in the lowest drawer. I also keep my prybar in the middle drawer. I think a prybar handle may fit in the top but not sure.

[niceprince]

I ended up getting one for about 165$. This thing is incredible quality for the price. GREAT for a starter tech like myself. 

[TheDennyvu]

Can it fit prybars in the screwdriver holes?

[DeuceReggs]

AHAHAHAHAHA I just bought the same box and uploaded a vid of it go check it out

[turbobuick33]

I'd rather have the Matco than the Horrible Freight

[vegasfordguy]

@turbobuick33 Yeah? Well if you want to spend the extra $600 bucks or so then go for it. I know that a lot of the HF stuff is junk, but a bunch of there stuff is GREAT & some of it is equal to the big name tools like there Earthquake line of impact tools. This box is sturdy & equal to the Macto unit.

[tharrington11]

@turbobuick33 You're wasting your money buying the "name brand" boxes. A tool box holds tools. Who cares what people say, they buy it for the name. HARBOR Freight sells awesome tool boxes at prices 3 times less than the "name brand" boxes. Now tools, yeah they are low quality and cheap. But for boxes, HARBOR Freight is good.

[luckycraftsammy]

i got the black 4 drawer and it is badass it was on sale 99.99 use the coupon 79.99 i love it

[vegasfordguy]

@luckycraftsammy That's a good deal but the red US General cart is much more heavy duty & is worth the extra cash.

[luckycraftsammy]

@luckycraftsammy for what i paid its plenty heavy duty for home use

[niceprince]

its been on sale for 199 for a while now. XD I want to get one of these tomorrow.

[Mxrider2627]

Thats a really good deal. Check out my video of the big 13 drawer toolbox i made.

[331lilcoupe]

sweet iam also trying to get that one !! so u like it so far?

[vegasfordguy]

@331lilcoupe Yep, It's a great tool box & very sturdy. I am really impressed with it. Just wait until it goes on sale for around $159 & use a 20% off coupon (you can find them online) The best deal ever from Harbor Freight.
