Their homeowner grade boxes are pretty crappy. Into the higher line ones, they only differences seem to be the drawer slides; ball bearing vs sliders. The sliders are adequate for most folks. I would

I just happen to be vacationing in a town where there's a HF close by so I took a look. They're not bad, better than the Craftsman as you say. A contender, even though one of the drawer slides had a

I bought one in March, and overall I am happy with it. I went with a higher end homeowner grade unit because I wanted roller drawer slides and just didn't have the budget for the "pro" models. The on
