Just finished moving over to a 34" HF service cart from my old 5-drawer. The 25% no restrictions coupon pushed me over the edge putting the new cart at $450 (+ tax)
The larger carts are conspicuously missing a shelf or a side compartment for chemicals. I happened to have an extra HF shelf in orange NIB so I mounted that. I agree it looks funky but somehow I suspect it will function as a shelf just as well as any other color,
although my aging eyes appreciate the contrast of small parts on brighter colors, making them easier to distinguish.....thus the orange is actually better
for me.
I also just happened to have the red MAC tray from the pawn shop, so I mounted that on the left. It obstructs the handle somewhat but I never use the
actual handle to roll these carts around anyway -- I just grab the upper lip or side(s). I'll move it down if necessary but I want to see how I feel about having the chemicals up higher first.
And I know it's blasphemous to some but I pull the lids. I don't need to lock it and the open lid is just too "muchy". It makes the cart feel much larger and it's too tall when open to easily roll under vehicles on the lift unless they're at max height. I understand a lot of guys like the lids and that's cool --
you do you. We
all customize our setups to our liking.
