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.

But first this is what I was using ........

And this is what I am now using ...... I almost need a step stool to see into the top box.

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.

Yeah, that might be longer than my garage. I would have to cut a hole in the garage door
for it to hand out !
 
The first thing I did before putting tools in the cabinet was to put a coat of wax. I concentrated on
the surfaces that face up, that's where any chemicals or paint will land. With some wax, the paint
won't stick very well. A little polishing compound and it should be gone.

Every drawer comes with a liner and a label strip.

The larger drawers come with double rails.

Guess I should have done this pic in the beginning. It shows the differences better.

OR ..... I could put some of the tools I already have on the shelves into the new cabinet. LOL ! No money
left after buying the new enclosed trailer!!!

I did take out every drawer and lubricate the slides. Their lube was stiff and sticky and didn't move very
freely. Now the drawer go in with just a little push.

The paint coverage was very thin on the inside in some places.
