I did the side box on the cart many many moons ago , didn't take to long for me to make a full frame of steel angle iron to keep it from tipping , very handy box for cheap 💰, use it every day

I am a mechanic, guitar , and gun guy, I have had everything over the last 50 years. Snap-on , craftsmen, mac, Matco, and I bought my first US General about 3 years ago and my next will be the 72” floor cabinet and 52” top box

That is exactly what I wanted to do ... thank you for showing about “grinding / cutting” the arches for the top lid to close on the side box - mine will be white or yellow since it will be inside (cleaner environment dealing with medical equipment / not mechanic shop)

I work out of a US General every day. That box and what's in it provide food and shelter for my family. If it's good enough to get that done, I'll use it til the wheels fall off. God bless Texas.

Great set up you have there,, The real man cave..good review on tools from harbor freight,,,,thanks

hey Buddy i’m a retired Woodworker and we used a ton of the similar full extension roller bearing slides that are of your carr’s and boxes i heard you say oil a couple of times and fyi all the manufactures we used reccomended using nothing but Graphite on them so take that as you want oil does have a tendency to allow dirt and debris to stick to it and the graphite of course is a dry powder now i will admit that i have used a drop or two of 3 in one oil in my life but i did follow manufacturers reccomendations on the slides btw a tube of graphite has lasted me over 25 years and we built hundreds of cabinets with that style slide i too ama big fan of the older made in USA Craftsman ratchets although my go to are my Dads 1958 Sk Wayne he bought in the Navy and i inherited my Dad and i restored some Antique British Sports Cars i use a 1970s Craftsman 1/2 inch Digitorq that been calibrated and hasn’t let me down yet

For the side locker 2 Standard OEM swivel casters could had been installed were that the whole unit would have 6 total casters combined and the 2 locking casters could still be utilized to keep the unit stationary and a metal spacer support under the locker would fill the void of the height differential between the locker and floor once the casters are mounted

All my craftsman USA sockets and wrench sets I’ve pieced together from pawn shops. A lot of the have individual sockets sorted out in bins

I have the (2)HF 44 boxes the drawer size works better for me. Good collection of tools.

So I have been a mechanic since 99' and comparing these US Gen carts to Snap-on or Mac is a no brainer. The same box from either is going to easily be 1-1.5k$. They carry the same warranty and pretty much made from the same materials ( mind you that Snap-on and Mac may be a bit thicker ). I have sold all my Snap-on and Mac carts and Boxes and gone to the Husky and US gen carts and tool boxes. they are yet to fail me in the last 8 years. For entry level and even the seasoned tech/mech these are wonderful and very useful tool boxes and carts. I have this same cart in black that is primarily used for light duty and race track/ track day use. Carries plenty of tools and handles the weight just fine.

Home Depot made me buy that $9 kit 1/4 and 3/8 also, and 28 wrenches 🔧 for $15 I have the husky 268 kit for going mobile, I added some pliers and adapters an 8 mm wrench 🔧 and removed the 12 pts to save weight

I got the series 2 of this cart in Orange last month. I build out GM crate motors into marine engines. I upgraded from a 30" HF single 1 drawer cart. The side cab is an interesting mod. It is my understanding that Quinn is now manufactured by same company that makes Kobalt and Gear Wrench. I have a coworker that has Kobalt sockets they look identical to Quinn other than the branding.

If you want a set of good gear wrench ratcheting wrenches I recommend the 35720 set it’s a 20 piece set but it has all the sizes you’ll ever need to use a ratchet wrench for

Very nice! I may do you combo over buy a 44” US General box.

NICE!!

This is an old video but.... I’ve used my hf cart for 10 years every day as a professional technician and I will say after the years it’s held up 100% I have literally beat the handle off it and both front corners with a pry bar and hammers from frustration or anger and it’s still going strong... best 125$ I’ve ever spent as a professional tech

I feel lucky, I have a full set of American sockets in all 3 sizes, full set of open end SAE and Metric, Full set of SAE and Metric combination, and a full set of SAE and Metric boxed end wrenches. A lot of over kill but worth more than I paid.

Looking for tool deals at Flea Markets and Pawn Shops...My kinda people!!!! Great vid

Good review man

If you want to complete a Craftsman 6-point socket set an have some already, try a pawn shop. Not the most reliable source, but can be very cheap.

I had reinforced the bottom of the cart with 1/4" steel angle iron from rolling into my garage!

Hey love the tour of the tool box! Question, how did u add the side tool box drawer/cabinet? Please I'd appreciate the set up procedure thank you in advance. I currently have 30 inch 4 drawer us general.

I am planning to get the side box, and the cabinet for mine but the have not made them in white like my cart

I was looking for ratcheting wrenches just like you. Found something that mattered to me, may interest you. Tekton makes 6 point ratcheting flex wrenches. Couldn't find any other decent company that did.

Man I've been using 90 tooth Gear Wrench ratcheting wrenches forever and never even slightly bent or broken a single one in 10 years. Can't beat em. They could be a little smaller profile but nevertheless they have been perfect

I'd be interested in a review of the shelving bin system beside it.

New sub, love the channel. Can you do a review of your compressor?

If you're still looking for sockets will sell you metric and sae sockets from armstrong, they're 12 point but they're really nice us sockets

Tekton totally make a full kit for your back row. I just picked em up. 10 - 24 1/2 impact 6 point. Fidy bucks. Totally worth it. Love em!

New Subscriber....I have an '04 Corvette Z-06

It's funny that Craftsman have become "worth money". Back in the 90's when they were still made in U.S.A. most people considered them junk.

two years ago I bought the industrial Pittsburgh punch and chisel set I don't know if it is decent haven't had to use it,I had a craftsman and a full companion set from Menards and now they all but 3 of each of just the chisels, and one of each brand of punch vanished out of my truck.. and I have a old craftsman but it doesn't say Sears it is a bright unfinished steel look it's a bigger chisel..

My most recent cart is that make/model/color of your H-F. And I have an 8 YO Matco tool cart which IMHO is NOT worth 5 times the $

I can get a set of 6 point usa made craftsman any time down the street from me a an outlet store they have a whole bunch of NOS stuff. 40 bux. 8-19mm

Can you link the side drawers for the cart

Is that the 16.5 side box? I need sliders and a drawer for mine and I don't have the model number.

Will jack stands fit in the open space on the bottom?

Took box tour for the truck! Please lol

i would suggest trying to get your swivel casters on the side with the handle just so you can get the cart away from the wall a little easier

I am not a mechanic (at all), but i purchased this cart to store my woodworking tools and all of the other misc tools (electrical, diy stuff for around-the-house upgrades, small stuff that seems to be everywhere between my garage and laundry/storage room, and i appreciate the reviews, particularly how its organized. i have no idea where i am putting all of my stuff, but i do like your set up for sockets and wrenches, as thay nevered occured to me (even though my collection isnmuch smaller). can you share where you got the stands for the wrenches and socket stands?

I love the tool collection. How long did it take for you to acquire all of this?

I have a set of Craftsman 1/2 drive sockets that have put everything together Ive done since 1995. I hate the ratchet that came with them.I wanna throw it over the fence every time I use it.It is really bad to jump out of gear. It always has even when oiled.Im gonna buy a Wright or Proto one of these years LOL.

im sorting threw my tools in my shop i have tons of old miss matched craftsman, ill see whats left over

I have the gen 2 roller cart and literally yesterday one of my locks popped off, i put it back together it didnt break but definitely made me a bit annoyed

Money needs to go into tools, not into storage. USG is more than good enough IMHO. Going into debt to the tool guy for a box is crazy.

lowes kobalt 6 point 8 to 19 no skips 14.97

Go for the teckton it’s right there with snap on and less then half the price. Teckton is the way to go

I am interested in the side cart mod? I have a gen 1 tool cart. The side cart now seem like they are deeper than the cart. any suggestions? I would love to do this mod

Do you wrenches fall off when you Shut your lid ?? I found their magnets to not be as strong

Who makes those peg style socket organizer? Definitely could use several of those.

I know this video is 2+ years old. But Lowes will warranty ALL Craftsman and replace them with (Stanley) Crapsman. Actually they’re not that bad still made in China/Taiwan but so are Bluepoint, Mac, Marco, just about all If you want US pretty much it’s SK, Proto, SnapOn. The 2nd gen Icon sockets are decent. Truthfully who ever has the least hassle free warranty that is “local” my only gripe with Milwaukee, Tekton, Gearwrench is the photo/mail in warranty. I’d rather use HF,HD,Lowes where I can replace the 1 tool I don’t have a duplicate of to complete a job. Waiting for mail sucks so you end up buying a local tool anyway.

Can you add the side cabinet to both sides of of the roll cart

Hey men you wouldn't mind throwing me a 14 and 15 metric 3/8dr craftsman socket I just need them two to complete my collection

Get the Icon sockets :)

What‘s the story about the german licence plates?

Do American made craftsman have labels on them, indicating US made?

*looks at thumbnail* What?! There's a side attachment for a extra tool box?!?!?

Honest question here is there a difference with china and US Craftsman, other than being able to say "I got all American made!"

Guess I'm glad I'm from Pittsburgh not really alot of crimes down here even done to me and my dad lol

Check out tekton. Good tools for the dollar

WHERE DID YOU GET THE SIDE BOX ?

Surprised you have not tried tekton tool ?

Are those wagon wheels?

I Want This soooo Bad But Dammmmmm Mannnnnn, HF Shipping fee *$96.94?!! HF ARE YOU CRAZY!!* Well I Guess I'll Ummm,..Ummm...

OCD gear heads unite!

Go check out tekton.com if your looking for complete 6 point socket sets.

Craftsman still going to warranty with sears shut down?

3:06 - you said do do.

Hi. Link to eBay seller for craftsmen rebuild kit for ratches

Go to 72 inch box from HF

Chinese products tend to start out good but then they start to cut corners after a few years .

You're like me, you have a pair and a spare of everything. That's because you're going to break one, lose one and use one.

Lid opens to 90 degrees.... cylindrical lock..... and the name plate are all dead give aways that it is NOT an older model. I have one older model and 2 newer ones... Not sure why you are falsely claiming it is an older model..... but that model you are showing is new as hell

Craftsman never made. Much in the1/2 socket line

The title says tool cabinet review but the review is 22 minutes long and a majority of it is about off topic things such as the tools around the box. I always get excited when I see reviews for tools 1-2 years later (everyone likes to review "new" out of box which helps no one), but I simply don't have time to watch a 22 minute video about tools when the title says tool cart/cab review!

I love how folks brag about their poorly organized shit!,
