Snap-on Store
I am intrigued by drawers on this one, but not the pricing.
Does anyone know who makes it for Snap-On?

I have one of the early one's (2014), No idea who makes it, Usually...Snap-on branded items like this are exclusive assuming it isn't actually made by Snap-on. I've used the crap out of it. Had to have the castors warranted twice for the rubber separating from the wheels from overexposure to ATF/Engine Oil. Now that I work in a relatively clean shop...Castor life seems greatly increased.
I use the drawer for Caps/Plugs.

This is what bothers me. $660 for made in China? No doubt the one Chris is using is probably an old made in USA. I don't mind paying for high quality stuff but I wont take it in the arse either.Snap-on Store

I had this exact thought when I clicked the link. The first thing I noticed was COO = CHN
Typically SnapOn is the last great holdout for most things being made in US or at least NA. The profit margin on that Chinese cart has got to be at least triple their US-made stuff, even if it is custom made for them.
No drawers on this one but looks like it would do the job for a homeowner

Thanks @clinebarger, for the pictures. Ideally, I want a cart with some storage options, but I don't know if I want it $660 badly, though.
From my research, I think the ATD/Sunex/K-Tool ones are coming from the same supplier in China. The OEM 24960 is a bit different since it doesn't have the drawer.
The Gearwrench one must be built specifically for them since I cannot find another one elsewhere. It also has 3" casters, which is not common for the $100-150 carts.
The OEMTools 24634 and Omega 97531 appear to use the same layout and design, but with some minor feature differences. The Omega model uses 3" casters (versus OEMTools' 2") and also has holes for prybars. Omega also doesn't use the thread inserts for fastening the casters.
At the moment, I am leaning towards the Omega cart. I do like having the permanent dividers and the larger casters, but $250 still seems a bit steep.

Unfortunately I need the cart's legs to slide under my tool box for storage.
Well, pry bars would fill those holes.
I have two of those. One I use as a tool cart, the other stores a small portable gas powered generator on each shelf.
In terms of a dedicated tool cart, that snap-on one looks sweet.
My budget, or more importantly usage, barely allows for the ~$97 amazon basics one though.
^^^^I do agree the Snappy looks sweet! I wish I had one of those crazy spacious shops like you see on Powerblock TV, but I already juggle rolling carts from side to side as it is. I've decided no more carts/boxes, it starts to feel like a game of Tetris!
That seems like a boutique cart for special work. It would be just another thing to bump into around my garage. Got a HF 5 drawer with two side trays for most of my work.
I went with the Omega 97531.
Nice!
Looks good.
