Hyper Tough 28-Inch Steel Tool Cart, $99, (was $149)
Why do we like this deal?
Like many things that become more specialized over time, today’s best appliance storage options are quite advanced. But that doesn’t mean they have to be. There’s actually a Walmart brand, Hyper Tough, that sticks to the basics and wins at rock-bottom prices. From standard storage shelves to modular units that put DeWalt’s prices to shame, there’s something for everyone. And this steel tool cart for under $100 proves it.
The Hyper Tough 28-inch Steel Tool Cart is now $99 in all six available colors, the price we’ll show is $50 less than its closest competitor. Note that the black color is $99 at regular price while the others are $99 after the discount. According to Google Chrome’s pricing tool, this represents a change in Hyper Tough’s pricing scheme this May, bringing the price down to normal for all colors, giving even buyers aiming for the best value a hearty selection.

It is a sturdy, steel cart with a solid handle, four caster wheels including two locking wheels, and includes multiple spaces for storage. There is a top work area, the same top opens to reveal a storage space, there are two pull-out cabinets, and the bottom is made to hold larger items and tools. Overall, this is a handy, durable cart that can effectively carry and store hundreds of pounds of equipment and gear.
How much should this type of vehicle cost? At Walmart and Amazon, the closest popular competitor appears to be the Ironton 2-Drawer Tool Cart, which costs $149. This one is a little different, mainly because it has a keyed lock and the top area of it opens rather than swings open, allowing you to access it while it’s open. These things are certainly nice, but the $50 price increase makes the Hyper Tough more attractive.

what shoppers are saying
This is one of those products that is basically more popular than you would imagine, and one of the cool things about the people who love this cart is that they have sent almost 100 photos during their reviews. If your picture is worth a thousand words, be sure to check out the store page and scroll down until you see buyer’s images. I’ve seen Milwaukee tools, more wrenches than any person could ever need, and of course, lots of miscellaneous gifts that wouldn’t fit anywhere else.
One shopper described how the design of the interior of the shelves makes it much easier to keep things neat and tidy. “The compartments for holding screwdrivers, pry bars and long breaker bars keep everything neat and tidy.” Another shopper claimed it was a high-priced option and said, “The cart is overcharged.”
The Hyper Tough 28-inch Steel Tool Cart costs $99 and is a great value for your garage. Buy it now while it’s $50 off at Walmart.
