Modifying (upgrading) snap on roll cab

[Inkncraig]

I just wanted to ask all the experts out there. Is it possible to upgrade from friction slides to bearing slides in my KRA555

Im pretty sure thats not possible. As the slides are built into the drawer itself. Im sure you could make something work but it would take alot of fabricating and a ton of time. You could buy a ball bearing box for cheaper than it would probably cost to do that.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it's not possible.

The BB fetish just leaves all the good old stuff for those of us who don't mind friction slides.

not only do i not mind good quality friction slides, i prefer them over BB...

Entirely possible. Easy=no, cheap=no, worth the effort=probably not. With time and money you can do anything. Would the result be worth the time and money? You have to decide that. If you ask,"can I order BB slides from SO and replace my friction slides?" The answer is no.

I modified a bottom drawer on a KRA380D, friction slide rail inside the box had broken on both sides, so I removed them, and replaced it with heavy duty BB slides.

It worked well stationary, but if I rolled the box anywhere, the detents were not strong enough to keep the drawer closed due to the amount of weight inside (hammers).

It functioned for the needs at the time, but would I do it again, nope
