Harbor Freight has launched new color options for their US General full bank service cart tool box.
The newest color is purple, and they also added white and grey options since their mid-2021 launch.
This brings the number of color choices up to 9.

Harbor Freight launched the full bank service cart in mid-2021, in black, red, blue, orange, yellow, and green.
The 34″ full bank service cart features all-swivel caster wheels, a 7″ top compartment with lid that opens to 90°, slots for inserting long screwdrivers or prybars, a pass-thru grommet for a power strip (sold separately), and 6 drawers with ball bearing slides.
The top 5 drawers have a 100 lb load rating, and the bottom drawer has double slides for a 200 lb load capacity.
Price: $700 $600, sometimes on sale for $600 $500
Update: Thanks to Caleb for the price correction. The regular price was $700 at launch but looks to now be $600.
So far, this looks to be Harbor Freight’s first and only US General tool storage product that’s available with a purple color option. Hopefully more will follow.

Purple? Really? Other than Minnesota Vikings fans with the incorrect horns on the helmets, I don’t see an audience for this.
Steven+B
Art supplies! My daughter would LOVE this. If I had a means of getting one of these home I would risk my wife’s wrath to get one of these for my daughter’s art and craft supplies.
Also girl colors are cool. See a man with purple tool carts, it screams the opposite of a bright red Porche in the garage…at least in terms of manhood and compensation. Men who exude masculine energy can look great with any color tool cart. 🙂
Robert
I would think for art supplies storage a French country cabinet in a distressed paint scheme would generate more accolades for you. Compared to purple metal.
Brad
I could imagine lots of Ravens fans going for the purple here in Maryland.
Stuart
There are purple-only stores. So yes, there’s an audience for this.
Keith
My Wife will be all over this. Her favorite color, and she is due for a new rollaround!
Steve
Mine is the same way – I’ll be getting one…
Will
Purple is my favorite color, not everything is going to be for you.
Wayne R.
If other carts are around, owned by different people or there for different purposes, colors are great (& ultimately mindless) for differentiation.
Mike
I’m an auto body tech and I own a triple bay matco box that is electric purple with black trim. Not being part of the “audience” doesn’t mean there isn’t one. What kind of work do you do? What color is your tool box?
S
I dunno, I specifically bought a pink extension cord for use at work so no one steals it. I still have it, where I’ve lost the more ‘manly’ but typical orange/yellow/green cords more than a few times.
I’m man enough to rock the purple tool box. Makes it easy to identify who’s tools are whose!
Honestly, I really like the color they chose. It’s enough to be different, but it’s not a bright in-your-face color either
Joe
This is it. Most of my mobile stuff is pink or purple marked in some way. Not only do I like those colors but most other guys are afraid of being seen as effeminate and will not steal my things. I don’t care what they think.
Different Robert
I’m sure Harbour Freight did no market research before making this choice. Go drink your natty lite Robert. Nobody cares about your antiquated opinions on masculine colors. I’ll be sure not to click the notify me of replies 🤣
Stuart
As as a reminder, play nice with each other.
Eric
Go on YouTube and check out tool box tours, purple tool chests is a very popular choice of mechanics
Chris I
Lakers? Kings? LSU? Northwestern? TCU? Wimbledon?…..women?
You don’t “see” the audience for this because I’m pretty sure you haven’t met and don’t know every consumer on the planet.
Robert
Nope my lad. Those are all pretenders to the throne. None of their identities center on being purple like the Minnesota Purple People Eaters.
Ben
Dunno about that. When I was at Northwestern in the early 2010’s, *everything* was about purple. Heck, half my wardrobe is still purple from all the free T-shirts. I’d buy one of those purple tool chests in a heartbeat if I had the space (and need) for it. Go Cats baby
Robert P
I have a purple Matco toolbox and I’m planning on getting this one too, purple is my favorite color and it’s not necessarily a feminine color, it’s a dark purple not a violet one. I think it looks great, I currently have a green one now. Plus I’m a Utah Jazz Fan and there primary color at one time was purple and I believe they are going back to purple! The word of the day is PURPLE!
Bruce
First one you who shows this to my wife is in serious trouble. I may never visit this website again. 🙂
Stuart
That’d be the first! Most times it’s “my wife is so mad about all of the tools I’ve bought after seeing them on here!”
Gary
Guess no one wants those old plumbing crazy muscle cars that dodge put out either .lol
JBarta
I know several men and woman, Including me, that want this toolbox to match our Metallic Purple Daytona 3 ton floor jack, that you can also purchase at Harbor Freight!
Florence Hargis
Me, I’m going to buy one because it’s purple
Patrick Hinkle
Seriously,I’ll bet you don’t vacuum do dishes or laundry. Purple is a very masculine color. I’m sure harbor freight will sell more of those purple tool boxes then you have racing stripes running down your tighty whities.Must be a bears fan…
C+Hsen
several options to match to a sports team
I would love them to make other things in this paint code. So far I have only found the 34″ roll cart and the 3 ton jack.
Dd
As a woman in blue collar, kindly shut up. Also men are allowed to like purple too.
Lenny
I love the white. Wish this was out before I bought the blue 42″ set. Great quality but man are they getting expensive.
Chris I
1000% agreed. My black boxes are boring. White would be dope against my white walls. I just wish they were deeper like 28″ or 30″.
Mike
Reminds me of plum crazy purple. I dig it.
Geinsbelt
That’s what I thought of as well!
Anyone that would judge me for having a purple toolbox is someone whose option I wouldn’t give a damn about.
Geinsbelt
“Who’s”, not “whose”
“Opinion”, not “option”
😜
Chris I
Bazinga!
Brad
“Whose” is correct. It is a possessive pronoun. “Who’s” is only a contraction for “who is.”
“…someone who is opinion I wouldn’t give a damn about” wouldn’t make any sense, so it should be “whose.”
Steve
They are $499 during their Labor Day sale with an Inside Track Membership (which is 30$). Definitely getting one…
Ryan
Put a Nintendo badge on it and you got a GameCube, I want one
Marjax
Are you kidding? I’m totally going for purple especially if they get it into their tool carts.
Though I do like my “Red Ryder” one….
MacLean Flood
I like different colors…much easier to say it’s in the purple box than the third black one on the right.
RLS
I will be adding this to my shop. Lol, apparently someone’s manhood was threatened with the color purple.
It will go great with my Plum Crazy SRT 392 6-speed. I even plan on getting the purple floor jack to match it.
For the record I do own the orange one as well. It matches my 69 Road Runner in Vitamin C orange.
caleb Banta
$600 sometimes $500
Stuart
Thanks!
You’re right. It launched at $700. It now says $600 with $100 inside track member discount, but shows as $600 in my cart. I take it that it’s $500 with membership discount.
Jimmy
I think all of these colors look awesome. And the purple & white ones look really great side by side. It’s what’s inside the tool box & how good you are at using those tools that count here. Not the color , or nit picking on the color that counts.
Robert
Sorry all you Vikings fans, I’m still with Henry Ford and the Lions on this. Plus, you have to kill murex snails to get purple.
Robert
Sorry, I forgot to answer Sir Mike. I’m a hobbyist. I have a 72 inch Husky table cabinet and a 60 inch wide and tall Husky tool chest and hutch combo. I think they are mid-line in Husky’s system. I got a great deal one year. Both the deepest black, as Sophia Loren said in “El Cid”, until my father is avenged. I do agree with past comments on the site that it’s dumb to have the insides of tool boxes and drawers black as it makes tools harder to spot.
Erin Burby
Why yes there is! I’m a girl that’s quite independent and needs tools and when i bought my toolbox 2 years ago I said I wish they had purple.. So looks like I’ll be looking into selling my lime green one and buying a purple one 😁
John Miskowski
Mopar fans will love this box. Plum crazy purple. I like the color myself.
Flyer
Thinking the same thing. This would look great in a garage with a Last Call edition of the Challenger in Plum crazy.

Color helps me remember. Black box, 3rd drawer up from bottom. Red box waist height, center. Having other colors helps me. Sold a black 26″ stack when I got a black 56″. Having 2 black tool chests makes it a little more difficult to record things in my head.
Right now, looking at the orange and yellow 26″ bottom chests on sale at Harbor Freight to get drawer space.
I have no illusions about what a ‘manly’ color might be. The silly stuff we wore in the 1980s is a clear indication that fluorescent pink Dolphin shorts are the proper attire. With neon yellow Oakley sunglasses, a gold chain, and a mullet…if’n only I had enough hair on my head.
Chris K
Couple corrections: does not come with a power strip, only prepped for one with a pass-thru, and the price is listed wrong, at least for east coast US. Usually $599, sometimes a $100 off coupon available. Excellent tool box though! It’s my daily as an RV tech.
Stuart
Thanks! Oops, I forgot about the power strip, and seeing it in nearly every product photo threw me off. I wonder if we’ll start seeing color-matched magnetic-mounted accessories in purple.
Robert P
I hope so, I just ordered mine yesterday, I’m looking forward to getting it!!!! I’ll take it to work and bring my lime green one home. Once again the word of the day is PURPLE! Lol
K. Waters
As a worker at harbor freight I feel as though it will definitely be in due time we see the accessories for it.
Nater
This is what I get for muttering under my breath… “Glad they don’t have a Purple one or I’d be tempted to buy it..”, as I strolled the HF toolbox isle the other day.
One of the most dangerous places to walk into with money in your pocket. That Hercules band saw stand made my wallet levitate so effortlessly. Then, a one hundred dollar bill vanished into thin air 💨 . And now there’s a new purple box.. sheesh. This is one expensive magic show.
JBarta
As a Harbor freight employee, Thanks! Don’t forget you get a 25% discount today until store closes!
Jerry
Kinda partial to lime green myself. Its my daughters favorite.color and would be easy to find whatever is inside.
What about dual colors, like black outside but white inside? That may be a hit with some, as well.
Geinsbelt
How about buying both a purple one and a white one and then switching the drawers between the two?
JBarta
I can’t wait to see what else comes in the Purple color… I work for Harbor Freight and they end up getting half of my paycheck back!! lol
Jonny P
I would absolutely rock a hot pink tool box in my shop. I’m a child of the 80’s. Hot pink is totally my bag. Purple just doesn’t have the same pop as pink.
