I have the Craftsman version of this cart (about $50 on sale). I keep the top loaded with tools for the job and parts to be installed on the bottom.

Alvin, huh? That’s a first. I usually see Herter’s name pop up on forums. Of course, his name always pops in my head when my car rewards my enthusiastic driving with a nice crisp shift.

I have one of these…the casters are plastic, and kind of cheap. I plan on replacing them, one of these days, with rubber-footed ones, that will make the cart sit a little lower…mine is top-heavy from a large tool chest that sits on top, making it unstable…it’s just a matter of time before I knock it over.

A good value, overall.

Be careful during assembly, however - the bolt holes & slots can line up in such a way, that a heavy load will shift the cart into a trapezoidal shape…like I said, mine is overloaded, on the top shelf. I really need to do something about that…

Got 2, one plain jane table top, the other a Craftsman with two drawers and a lift up top. Tools on top, parts in the bottom tray. I put the tools away after each job, that way they don’t grow wings and migrate.

If you’d rather build than buy, this is a good cart. Cheap, easy and fast to build, and very sturdy.
