So I am looking at a US General tool cart. Has anyone bought on of these from harbor freight? Do they hold up ok?

There have been a number of discussions about US General carts and toolboxes over on the Garage Journal board, here's one about the tool cart: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=44679 It sounds like it's a pretty good cart for the money.

I've got one. Love it. I'm a hobbyist so it doesn't see much hard use.

I just got a coupon for the slightly larger red one for $179. I'm seriously considering it and this post is gonna make it hard to keep my money...

I was shopping a 5-drawer roller cart from my local tool truck dealers. $500-$700 was their price range.

I bought a US General cart for $169 on sale and the quality is as good or better than the snap-on carts.

Only thing I dislike with the HF carts are the slide locks for the drawers. Total MFPITA to operate. IF I had the choice i would love to find an old Cornwell cart. Those are the Cadillac of tool carts.

I keep drooling over that 5 drawer, couponed-for-$179 cart. I actually had decided that it was a good deal at the normal $229, feels heavy, drawers work nicely - and then they send me a coupon!

Dammit, I gotta buy groceries!

Coupons on the 5 drawer can be found for the $169 price.....
