Anyone know where I might pick up/buy at least two drawer slides for one of my craftsman boxes? part # T14009A2. tried sears parts direct and got the message ''sorry this part is no longer available." Not a Waterloo according to sears but a Fidelitone [ never heard of them] box part number is 704-658075

Do you still have the two slides? If so, how badly damaged are yours? Most bent drawer slides can be straightened. I've made several usable with just a hammer, eyeball and a piece of 2x4. Because of springback, the bend has to be pushed slightly past straight to end up straight. Thus, a soft anvil usually works better than a hard.

Sometimes, when the bend wasn't serious, just clamping the slide in a vise and a few taps with the hammer was enough. It ain't rocket science.
