This tray was a simple install on my US General cart. It's become the perfect spot for my impact and sockets during brake jobs. The 35-pound capacity handles my go-to tools easily, and I love how it folds away when I need to roll the cart through a tight spot.

For the price, this tray is an incredible value. It bolted right onto my 5-drawer cart in minutes. Now I have a dedicated space for my frequently used wrenches and pliers. The steel feels solid, and it doesn't rattle when I move the cart around.
