Cornwell Power Cart Review

- UPDATE: I think the cart is manufactured by Sunex, not Kennedy as I said in the video.
Ever seen one of these? It's a tool cart with a power drawer. The only one that I know of on the market. Mechanic's Time Saver (MTS) announced a similar one a while back, but I don't think it made it to market, so as far as I know, this Corny one is unique
Let's give it a thorough once-over!

Love my cornwell pro series cart its a great cart!! Cornwell bought the Kennedy plant so they manufacturer thier own tool boxes and carts.
Yes, Cornwell bought Kennedy in 2016. This cart, however, was not built by them. After I shot the video, I realized the cart was probably made by Sunex, since the build features are identical to other Sunex carts.
@@CoyleTools performance tool was selling them some carts at one time that would be my assumption.
I bought one of those carts 1st thing I did was order 2 swivel casters to replace the fixed one. Having the fixed casters is a big hindrance. The other thing I wish they did was follow along with snap on with the 1st drawer being deeper
That would be a great cart for someone that doesn’t need a lot of tools and wants to keep everything in one location. I had a cart with 4 swivel casters and went to a bigger one that had 2 fixed. It definitely rolls straighter and easier if you have to push it far away. It’s much harder to maneuver in tight spaces though.
You have to take the good with the bad on this cart... more so than other carts because of the unique design.
I ended up getting one brand new for $1900. Works great for my side gig where I don’t need a ton of tools and have limited amount of shop space.
Good pick-up at a good price! The guy who bought the one in the video couldn't be more pleased with it.
@@CoyleTools I’m very surprised with how useful it is. But... my 15 year old son went crazy over it so I’ll probably give it to him soon lol.
@@6.4DieselDoctor Chip off the ol' block!
$2500 for a Sunex cart... I’ll pass.
This certainly isn't a cart for everyone. You've really got to want this particular configuration.
I own a Snap On EPIQ and regret every bit of it. One thing I’ve learned being a tech after 15 years. It’s not about your toolbox it’s about what u know and how to utilize your space. Some of the best techs I have ever worked with and taught me had the most basic boxes I have ever seen.
I have had my cart for 6mo. And it is everything i was looking for has plenty of storage for everything you need even some specialty tools very good buy
It's well laid-out and I love the extra deep top compartment.
I’m picking a use one tomorrow and still in mint condition for 1k, I really excited.
Thanks for letting me tour the cart yesterday. Regardless of country of origin, I think the cart will make a great addition to any tech/mechanic/hobbiest/tool collector. I like the color and the texture of the finish. The power drawer wasn’t exactly what a would want I think it would be functional in most shop setups. How I would use this in the shop is have it as a free standing setup. I would stock it with basic hand tools, ratchets/sockets/wrench’s/pliers/hammers/etc. I would also be able to add additional specialty testing equipment like fuel, oil, and coolant pressure testers, along with power probe and multimeters, and I would also keep pneumatic and battery operated tools with chargers in the side station. I would also run a tablet and charger there, as well as a scan tool, so techs aren’t walking back and forth checking for info, wiring diagrams or grabbing basic tools. I could supplement specialty tools from the shops main box. The less time a tech is walking back forth the more money we are both making!!!
Thanks for checking it out, and I appreciate the thoughtful analysis.
Pièce de résistance means the best feature, usually showed last. In my eyes it's like "Last but not least" but it's actually the best thing about what you're showing, or what we've been waiting for. It's an expression you can't literally translate it too.
I like the box a lot. I'm a big fan of tool carts, however this is a bit pricy for what you get. Thanks!
My storm gray power cart comes sometime in early may, couldn’t get one anywhere there all out of stock, my Cornwall guy had to order it for me
what are the dimensions of the shallow tray for a laptop?
It's about 1.5" deep. I don't know the other dimensions. You may be able to find them on Cornwell's web site.
Thank you 🙏
i like the design, pricey but like you said, if you know you will stay in the field then its worth it.
What’s the dimensions on the power drawer? Would a welding helmet fit it the bottom 2 trays of the power drawer?
I don't have the dimensions, but no, a welding helmet would not fit. It's really made just for power tools, chargers and batteries.
I got this box and while I agree the build quality is okay my only gripe is the wheels. They are hard plastics with a sleeve style bearing, box would shake on a smooth floor. The mounting base for the wheels are not heavy duty and can not swap for snap on style wheels due to mounting plate.
This is the reason I’m considering trading mine in on a Snap On KRSC46 or 242. I’m hardly ever in the same bay twice and many times I’m moving from one end of the shop to the other. I’ve had to develop a routine of going through all my drawers and moving everything back into place after I’ve moved it. That and or shop isn’t totally level everywhere and I’ve had issues with a couple of the drawers creeping open on me with the box just sitting there.
@@aaronfoulk9849 I got a classic series 55" snap on as a roll around super smooth 👌
Love your videos!! I have learned alot from them!! Keep up the good work!!
Will do! Thank you!!
Hmmm..no drawer latches...
Great observation!
True. The slides have detents that hold them closed.
@@CoyleTools Yes, well, that's what happens when you comment before watching the whole thing...
@@leannecoyle2710 I hope you've learned a valuable lesson.
This is a nice looking cart with some great features. My GearWrench dealer had an MTS cart that is very similar sent to me to check out. Not sure i’ll buy it though, gigantic and only has 5 drawers. Top is 10” deep, bottom drawer is 12” deep, 😳. $1499.00
Those are intriguing. I've not seen one in person, and I'm not inclined to purchase one until I do. I'm hoping the world gets back to normal soon so our vendors have in-person tool expos again so I can lay my eyes and hands on one.
That cart is not made by Kennedy it’s made in china, it’s stamped on the bottom, junk I sold one just over a week ago. Their Kennedy carts have completely different slides, hook latches, and key cylinders.
After I shot the video I thought more about this and based on the build, it looks like a Sunex product to me. The welds, plastic corner pieces and casters are the same ones found on Sunex carts.
Coyle Tools I think they only build the platinum and pro series in the USA.
Looks similar built to my homak
Great cart except no place for cordless ratchets in the power drawer and worse than that you have to take the batteries out of 18v 5.0 aH Milwaukee tools to be able to close power drawer
You can lay the ratchets on the shelves of the drawer, I guess. And since it's a cart, it's not as roomy for the large tools. If it were bigger, it would be a box.
@@CoyleTools Thanks I appreciate your input. Love the channel and your perspective. I would love to see a video on the Extreme Tools 41'' tool carts as there is almost no information about those online. They seem very unique in features compared to all other carts out there. As an automotive technician of 14 years it seems as though they might have the most practical approach for a cart but that is just my opinion based on little information I have. Keep posting great content. Thanks
@@shawnb4234 Thank you, Shawn. I'm grateful for your comments and viewership. I'd love to get my hands on those carts. I've seen them in person at a tool show a couple of years ago and haven't had access since because the pandemic has caused the cancellation of the shows last year. At the time, I didn't do a thorough going-over of them, but in hindsight I wish I had because from what I could tell, they were built very well and looked great. I hope they do an in-person show this year because I'm dying for the chance to get up close with those carts. Hopefully, before too long.
So somethings I’ve found with my orange one.. my best friend sells Cornwell so he did me a solid on the cart HOWEVER here’s my cons. The pry bar holes, 3 in the middle.. for long bars the holes are not big enough around for my bar tips, the drawer length and in the top isn’t wide enough for my socket or wrench organizers to fit well or at all, (currently trying to reconfigure a better fit), chargers space is limited if you don’t have all of one type of power tools. Fishing the back end of the drawer stinks also.
Other then that I absolutely love the cart. Looks good, rolls nice, decent size box. Oh another issue, but it’s me not the cart.. being a power unit you have to remember to take it to the plug at night to keep your goodies charged! 😂
This cart and Cornwell's entry level carts are rebranded Sunex. The Pro Series and the Platinum series carts and boxes are made by Kennedy.
This is false, they’re not made by sunex they’re PTP carts. Cornwell bought out the entire Kennedy plant and are making their USA boxes there now so technically they’re made by Cornwell at the plant.
What is ptp?
This box just popped up on a FB group and I think the layout is awesome, but wow! $3500 online price as of 07/2022.
Would you say this is twice as good as the similar style from Mechanics Time Saver?
I just bought one... Weighs 307 lbs. It's bleeping heavy... I love it but the casters wear out quickly
Not happy about that and they are not cheap
I personally like locked casters on the side opposite of the handle, it makes for better maneuverability in my opinion
cool cart been wanting this one maybe some day
This is a great apprentice box.
This cart new is on sale this month!
what are you using for filming? Not sure what it is but the motion jerkiness is jerking at motion sickness
I'm filming on half a moldy potato during a small earthquake. I thought it came pretty good considering the circumstances.
Cornholio................!!
I just acquired this same box completely filled with all Cornwell snap on Mac and Milwaukee tools. Unfortunately I have no use for it but couldn’t pass it up. Any suggestions on where to sell it?
Facebook Marketplace, Craigs List, Offer Up... the usual places will work.
@@CoyleTools thx for the reply. I was gonna try to sell as a whole instead of piecing it off. I have around $1300 in everything so if I can get $2k I’ll be happy. Not sure how resale on tools is
QUESTION, I have a 4 drawer matco cart I roll around and a small craftsman box, I was thinking of buying this the replace the craftsman that just sits, it’s half the price of the matco 4s and I’m thinking by the time I fill up the cornwell I’ll know if I’ll stay in the business or not, what do you guys think?
TLDR how’s this as a beginner box
@@squirlboycp For a beginner, get yourself a box or cart from Harbor Freight. You'll spend half as much on twice the box. You can get a 72" wide US General box for under $1,000 with a coupon and watching for the sales. And don't buy ANYthing off the tool trucks until the value they offer is worth the price to you.
And watch this video about that has fantastic advice for beginners: th-cam.com/video/A6u6TsXW550/w-d-xo.html
Does it have slots on both sides for pry bars/screw drivers?
No, just the right side. There isn't enough height clearance on the left to accept tool handles. On the left side, there is a shelf with holes on the exterior you can use for screwdrivers and such.
I like this box
They are real beauties.
Not a fan of the slide out power long drawer with gun storage. That being said I'm not that impressed the my Cornwell platinum standard pull out power drawer. Both of them take too much space in the box. Don't know a better option for some body that need to keep there batteries charging and locked up over night. Thanks for sharing
I like the idea of the drawer, but seeing it in person leaves me wondering about its practicality. This is the kind of cart that won't make friends with everybody.
Taken from Google:
Pièce de résistance is phrase that is taken directly from the French and used as an English phrase. Most experts agree that the phrase pièce de résistance comes from the lexicon of French restaurants that was popular in the mid-1800s. ... The pièce de résistance was the main course.
This is good to know. I suppose it doesn't really apply the way I used it. Languages were never my thing.
@@CoyleTools No, you used it appropriately. It's used to describe the most important or remarkable feature of something. The "big deal." Like Carlos said above, the main course.
Why did you say it was 6 drawers when it’s only 5
1:57 Count them again. I'll wait.
@@CoyleTools there is only 5 unless your counting the power cabinet as a drawer
@@wendellgreenidge3362 *I* am not. Cornwell is: webcat.cornwelltools.com/CTBF476KMS-6-Drawer-Flip-Top-Cart-with-Power-Drawer-Matte-Silver-Gray-p371692735
I'm not going to call the cart something they don't.
@@CoyleTools it’s just weird because it says 6 drawer cart with power drawer as if the power drawer is separate but whatever lol
@@wendellgreenidge3362 I suppose a drawer is a drawer. 😀
