Tell me what tool cart to buy

For reference, I'm currently using the good ol' HF cart:
I've had two of these, amazing value, just not big enough. So I wanna skip right past the 30in version and go straight for a full sized cart.
Front runner so far is this Homak . Not sure how I feel about the slide top.
I'd appreciate any thoughts, suggestions or experiences you have on where I should be looking. I'd like to avoid tool truck boxes, but I'll buy one if it's worth it.

One of the guys has this cart from Mac Tools.
I like the slide top access to the tools inside and the assisted closing drawers. It's way better than any Snap-On cart I've seen.
I think they make one with drawers all the way down like that Homac you're looking at. Probably twice the cost though.
Harbor Freight has a good looking 5 drawer cart with a flip top for $210.
Less with a coupon.

For me it's kinda weird. I mean we don't buy our own tools and storage here. Different culture I guess :whistle:

I've heard that! All tools and storage provided, right? So what do you do with all that extra money? :woohoo:

Good point here. I appreciate quality products, and don't mind paying for it. Maybe I could reconsider a Snappy box...
I dunno where you guys are finding used boxes/carts for cheap. My local CL listing is 95% used miter saws and beat up DeWalt drills.

There's something about having just what you need organized out for you. It's sort of a ritual feeling to me, ha, preparing for the repair. I can see how being far from your box could be a pain for all of the trips back when you didn't quite have everything you needed.

Ended up getting a used cart from the Cornwell guy. Big enough for all my crap, used enough that I don't feel bad when I treat it like an ash tray. :lol:
Thanks to all for your suggestions!
