Picked it up this week, you cannot beat the price and so far the quality looks decent.

Nice looking box. As much as I hate to buy things not made in the USA, if I had to start over, it'd be hard not buying one of those for the price.

Having to slide the latch over each time you opened the drawer had to go. I just put something in them to hold them open.


Do you roll the box around or leave it in one spot ? If you roll it, how do you keep the drawers from opening while in motion ?

I work on bikes and have some fairly large oddball tools so I need the larger lower drawer. Also it gives me a larger counter top work area to work from.

Same issue here. I ordered three of the 44-inchers last night. At 134" total length, they are almost a form-fit for the free space I have, and for less money than I paid for my single 40" Craftsman rollaway combo. (Which will soon be sold on Craigslist.)

I leave it one place. I had to shim under the front wheels to keep the drawers from creeping open. If I had to move it around I wouldn't have disabled the latches.

Kinds what i was thinking, I have a shim under the front of my Cman box too, just as a precaution.
