    Ordered this two weeks ago when the roller cabinet was on sale for $429, normally $499. Top box
    was at the normal price of $299. Harbor Freight didn't have the colors I wanted in stock, so they ordered
    them and got them in 2 weeks. I went from a Craftsman 27 inch to the US General 44 inch.

    The Craftsman tool box will go in the 8.5' x 18' enclosed trailer I bought this weekend for hauling
    the TBucket to NTBA events.

    I took all the drawers out and lubricated the slides with a silicone spray.

    The slides had a lubricant that was pretty stiff. They were smooth, but not very free. This
    really freed up the slides and made drawers go in with just a push. Before they just stopped
    when you quit pushing.

    They loosen up with use. I wasn’t thrilled at first but they are ok now. The drawers are stronger than my old craftsman cabinet.

    Those are super nice Indy. I hope to get some big chests like that for auto tools.

    For my other stuff I use these file cabinets that I get from work. They hold a ridiculous amount.
