Mac tech series toolbox

[pat.cosgrove]

Hello everyone I have a mac tech series tool box it is about a year old now. The top drawer doesn't want to slide open evenly. I was wondering if anyone else had this issue and had a fix for it. the drawer is difficult to slide all the way open it doesn't pull smoothly anymore. thanks for your help

i took the drawer completely out and put wd40 on all the slides

Ok take slide apart and see if there are any bearings out of place or the bearing carrier is twisted or broken somewhere. Also I don't mean to be a smart @ss but wd40 is not a lubricant WD water displacement and it was their 40th attempt to make it. Use a grease ex brake lube or I use white lithium just because I have it in a spray can so it's easy to apply.

Make absolutely sure the drawer part of the slide and the case part of the slide are together. they will hook up and work if they are not, but will feel stiff and binding. If no luck, and you have a MAC guy, then he should be able to swap out the slides for you. MAC slides are lifetime warrantied IIRC.
