If you haven't seen the banner on their website, Harbor Freight has deals on their ICON boxes that were damaged in shipping: Scratch and Dent Sale - Harbor Freight Tools
If you want a roll cab, you pretty much have to haunt the site because they go quickly. The top boxes and overhead cabinets are fairly frequently available. The end cabinets a little less so.
They rate them as Excellent (minor scuffs), Great (minor scratches and dents), and Good (moderate scratches and dents) and some of them are missing items, but they're 30% to 45% off and they describe and photograph the damage. If I was in the market, I'd take 30% off for minor scuffs and would consider 45% off for moderate scratches and dents - a lot of the time it's on the back or sides anyway.
This is from a top chest at 45% off that I saw - damaged top corner, scuffs on top, and dented back panel:
Chances are that you won't even notice the top corner of a top chest in your shop, put down a rubber mat to cover the scuffs, and you'll never see the dented back panel.

awesome, thanks for the link. I'm looking for a rolling tool cart but they don't have it in this section at this time.

They do have a parking lot sale this weekend with the 5-drawer tool cart and the 56" cabinet on sale.
Looks like it's for the inside track club members only, if I'm not mistaken.

The ITC got the deals early - Monday to Thursday. They're open for everyone Friday to Sunday - if things are left.
Thanks bud, but I picked up this bad boy over the weekend for $219, I think it was. It made my work activities little bit easier but now I got to fill it. 😁

You had originally pictured the 4-drawer, but I have to say I think the 5-drawer is a much better cart. Glad you were able to get the deal!
You're absolutely correct, in some ways the four drawer is better for me because my electric tool tote can be stored on the very bottom open shelf. However, that cart has four swivels which is absolutely a nightmare as a mobile cart as you can imagine.
The five drawer is a little bit too large in some ways but the work surface on top is unsurpassed for my needs. Unfortunately my electrical tool tote will not fit at the very bottom shelf no matter what, a small price to pay. I'm not going to break up my electric towed so I'm thinking another set of electric tools is in order.
Thanks again for your alert!
