Not bad. The only comment is that it's steel, not stainless or plastic. It will eventually (if not taken care of) rot thru if using corrosive cleaners. the rest of it is a good deal.

Actually, I like the first one better. I didn't see that it was powder coated (good thing). The rounded edges are easier to clean, and fewer banged knuckles and knees.

To really set it off, I recommend a good set of comfy goggles (cheap uncomfortable ones wont be worn, another option is a faceshield, not as confining as goggles) and some chemical resistant gloves. And maybe a set of scrubber brushes:)

Looking those over, I'm liking the wheeled version better, I hate dragging stuff. Only thing I dont see is a light. Not being able to see if the crud is off the part is a pain:) Of course, doesnt have to be built in, but some source of light in the area is a great thing. Maybe the garage is well lit, but if not, its something to consider.
(Cant tell I did a stint as a Sears Hardware guy, canya?):whistle:
