July 30, 20187 yr Got that grizzly 4 wheel cart they were offering on sale. The sheet metal is so thin that it came with all manner of dings and pointed object dents. Looking at it too hard will dent it. They shorted me 5 bolts. I tossed much of the hardware because it is junk. The washers are inadequate the washers get lost inside the slots making assembly dicey. The lock washers are all junk. They could have made assembly way easier with a few welded on tabs. Instead one gets three layers and 48 finger tight bolts to get the thing squared up. Assembled with all the bolts tightened it is wobbly because the sheet metal is so thin, nearly foil thin. They couldn’t even get their logo labels on straight It’s supposed to take 300 pounds. We will see. Well It was on sale and it is grizzly so one can’t expect much..
July 30, 20187 yr Author the stinkin bolts are marked Grade 8. However I can strip em easy with a hand held screwdriver type nut driver. They are typical of the Grizz; Butter bolts masquerading as real hardware. Every once in a while I give one of these companies a chance like the Griz or Horrible Fright and every single time I vow not to do it again.

August 1, 20187 yr Don't know how much you paid for it, but if it was very much, you probably could have built a real cart for less money! Talking about Harbor Fright, it looks like they are following in the footsteps of Sears: They sold Craftsman as their best brand, and then, they started bringing in a cheaper line they named Sears. Course HF is backwards from how Sears did it. They came out with el cheapos, and now they are offering supposedly better quality tools for a lot higher prices. In all of this, where will we ever win?
August 1, 20187 yr I've had some issues with the few Grizzly tools I owned. Lost me as a customer. They spend millions with two page spreads in all the magazines, but would not sent me a bastard-sized bolt that broke, no less, expensive for one bolt and wanted me to pay a lot just to have it shipped.
August 9, 20187 yr Popular Post I purchased this Rubbermaid cart from Menards. It is rated at 200 lbs and was very easy to assemble. My intent is to store the items on it which I am using for the current in-workproject, so I do not have to spend time looking for a tool which was misplaced. I have used the handles to hold lumber and assist in moving cabinets. I find it very useful. Danl
