Ive been looking around for a 56" tool chest. Im wanting one the international below. How it has the single tall drawer on the top. The only problem is, I want the drawers to fully extend out of the cabinet, not leave an inch or so in the back still in the cabinet. Any one have any chest that do that? Or anyone replace the slides in thier boxes?

Check out the harbor freight one. A good buy. If you want one of the best, check out the J.H Williams boxes at toolsource.com. These are made by snap on and are the best you can get, at less than half the cost of snap on. This is the direction I'm heading.

Maybe he meant the top chest and not the rolling cart, not sure myself but HF doesn't have a 56" chest. Depending on which area you are you can check Menards Masterforce cabinet line, lots of good reviews. I would also suggest checking out the Montezuma chests on StrictlyToolboxes.com.

In my opinion those 3 are the best bang for your buck, one could argue one brand is better than the other but bottom line is that all 3 cabinets (HF-US General, Menards- Masterforce and Montezuma) seem to be well built and it comes down to your preference (color, number and type of drawers, casters, etc)

Good luck and welcome to the forum. :thumbup:

Vidmar cabinets have drawers that extend all the way out. Each drawer is rated for 400 lbs. Very nice cabinets.

Ok, so Ive narrowed it down to the Atlas 56" cabinet from greg smith http://www.gregsmithequipment.com/ATLAS-Deluxe-11-Drawer-Tool-Cabinet-Blue or the 56" international cabinet http://www.toolsource.com/value-ser...abinet-orange-p-121811.html?sourceid=googleps . Any one have pics of either or both? Ive read the reviews on the international and I pretty sure that may be the one I am going with. I would really like to know how far the international drawers come out.

I would also be interested on reviews of the Atlas 56".
