I have a Kobalt wife got me about 5 years ago. Works real well for home use. I had a small 24-26" craftsman my dad got me when I was about 8 that just wasn't big enough. My dad bought a Snap On back in the early 90's as he was a service tech and it is a SUPER nice quality box, but for home use I could never justify the price for home use. The Kobalt one is 42" I think. Kinda wish I went a little bigger, but I looked around at Lowes/Home Depot/Sears (When they were still open). and for the money at the time Kobalt were nice for the $. Since than some of the ones at Home Depot seem nice and even Harbor Freight higher end ones seem pretty good. Go to the stores and open and close the drawers, the good ones will feel smooth and be made from thicker metal.

The white tool box was not my first choice for color, but I picked up this Kobalt tool box setup (top chest and bottom) on clearance for $190.00 at my local Lowes. I've had Harbor Freight tool boxes and did not have any issues.

Ya know im cheap Doc, so I watch CL for the crooks selling NIB products and have had great luck with the simple blue craftsman ball bearing roller slider series of boxes. A couple drawers I might have 50-70 pounds in with no troubles.

I have two tall Craftsman boxes that I've been using for 20 years and they've been great. They don't have the real deep/long drawers so they don't stress the slides like the huge boxes do.
