Join me as I unbox and assemble the popular US General 30-inch 5-drawer mechanics cart from Harbor Freight. This rolling tool cart has built a reputation for quality at a budget price—so let’s see how it holds up right out of the box.
The US General 30″ 5‑Drawer Mechanics Cart combines functionality, portability, and value. Key highlights:
- Dimensions: 30″ L × 16″ D × 35″ H; weighs ≈ 52 lb
- Storage: A top lid over five drawers (one full-width, four smaller) plus a bottom shelf and side tray
- Build & capacity: Powder-coated steel shell, ball-bearing slides, two swivel lock casters, 700 lb capacity
- Extras: Drawer liners, gas-lift top lid, two locking latches, integrated power port
