Picked up one of these welding carts at HF.

[Missourian]

They are on sale this weekend for $30 and I've got to say, this was one of the most intuitive pieces I've ever assembled from flat-ship.

No different sized nuts, bolts or washers. No numbered or lettered holes. No instructions translated from Chinese to English by a guy who can't read Chinese or write in English.

You can skip the directions (which is just a single simple diagram) and assemble it completely just by referencing the picture on the box in about a half an hour.

Okay but couldn't you have just skipped the nuts and bolts and welded it together?

Just kill two birds with one stone and assemble it with weld nuts.

Actually, HF has a few pretty good deals so long as you are not expecting heavy use or professional duty.
For the average backyard weekender, they can be a blessing.

It would ruin the finish.

It looks like a nice cart for a mig welder.

I had something similar in the shop before I retired.

I'm missing some context here.

Recycle yard junk pile.

They have a dedicated harbor freight junk pile. Most of it is anything with wheels, anything with an engine or a motor.

Yeah. They cut costs on quality control...but, they give you a generous warranty in exchange.

Personally, I've been happy with the quality of 99% of the products I've purchased from HF. I usually buy on sale, and I can only think of one product that failed outside of the 90 day warranty timeframe.

But If I were a professional, I'd look to their higher end lines like Hercules and Icon over Central, Warrior and their other occasional use lines.
