Cheap Tear Down Table
« on: May 28, 2017, 10:55:09 AM »
This nice mid size tear down table was on sale this weekend at Princess Auto - Canadian version of the beloved Harbor Freight. Cost was $270 CDN ($195 USD), all steel, locking drawer, plastic catch pan that slides out to dump, sloped to drain top with catch lip a shelf and heavy duty casters, rated at 550 lbs.

I could not buy the material to make one of these for that cost!





If they are selling in Canada they are probably available at Harbor Freight as well.

That's what caught my eye!

I probably would have paid twice the price because it matches my tool rack! :wink:

That Princess Auto table is so much nicer than the HF cart they are not even comparable.  It is a purpose-built tear-down table and the HF unit is just a tool cart.

Wish I had a Princess Auto near me.

$120 for shipping alone and it's yours!

I wonder if they have a store in Vancouver ?

One BIG difference between Princess Auto and Harbor Freight - until a couple years ago, Princess Auto had its own manufacturing division. They produced stuff for the auto companies and as a subcontractor for the bigger auto parts suppliers like Magna. I rather suspect this led them to be a bit more demanding even for their Chinese suppliers than some other companies (cough, HF, cough) may have been.

I actually went to school with a member of the family (if I recall properly) back in the 70s. I can't remember if it was in high school or university, but I was living in Winnipeg then and they were well known (OK, it's not a big city!).
