I am starting to think about getting a new toolbox. I am thinking I would like to have something with wheels. About the only brand that comes into my mind off of the top of my head is Craftsman. Something along these lines.

Anyone have any suggestions? Also, anyone have any brands/models NOT to get?

I also found a Torin Brand, from Northern Tools, but I have no idea if that's good or not.

Might check out the warehouse stores (Costco, Sam's, BJ's). They at times have some fairly nice units for good prices.

Ditto on the ball bearing slides. They are the only way to go.

I gotta agree with the ball berring slides. They seem to hold more weight and ride alot smoother. The sales man that I bought my tool box from said, "...and they are really quiet too. You can't even hear them open and close." Poor selling point I thought. "Hey LOML... Sorry about the noise... I needed to get a wrench. I didn't mean to wake you..."

C'mon.

If I were you, I'd spend the extra money to get a really good box. Don't skimp if you can aviod it.
