Does this look like a good deal?

Hey all,

I've been looking for a new tool chest for a couple months and have been really torn between a 44 and 56. I've looked at the HF, Lowes, Sears, Husky.....

One of the things haven't liked with most of the boxes has been the way the drawers are laid out with the wider drawers next to the narrower drawers.

Today I went to the sears site and saw this and was hoping to get some of your opinions.

Thanks,

Shop around a little. You owe it to yourself. LOWES have a good selection of American Made tools and storage options. Check Craigslist also.
I have a MAC Tech series that I bought about 18 years ago. The toolbox is not overloaded but it has split through the top of the lower roller case where it is bolted to the top box. I would have like better performance than this for the high price I paid. Have a good look at the wheels on whatever you buy. Too many of the original equipment wheels and casters are poor quality. I am one of those guys who would be happy to pay extra for better quality. I have 11 big toolboxes, 10 of them are from Craigslist.
I have a WATERLOO sold in Canada lower roller case with a paint mixer bolted to the top. The box is too light duty for use in the shop. It shakes like a leaf in the breeze when the mixer is running. The drawers hold paint sticks, can openers, and other paint supplies.

I would prefer the new Milwaukee boxes over that craftsman. Actually I think I like the Milwaukee beat out of any in this class/price range.

Here's a little write up on the new 46" Milwaukee. I haven't heard anything about durability yet. Not sure if that means they are holding up well with few issues or if it isn't really being used in a situation/environment that would stress the box like a professional auto tech would. I'm curious how they will hold up in the long run.

I suspect that box has the exact same hardware as the dewalt/husky ones at Home Depot.

Have to go out of county to find one of those, but I beleive it. Do they call their Husky a Cobalt?
