To put this into perspective, this chest is much heavier than anything Craftsman or Kendall make. It is in the boat with a snap-on chest. The drawers slide smoothly on roller bearings. The lock firmly locks everything in place with no give. I am SOLD on this brand. Buy it! 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Waterloo PMX2606BK 26-Inch Wide by 12-Inch Deep by 15-1/3-Inch High Black Chest with 6 Ball Bearing Drawers and Tri Channel Construction (Tools & Home Improvement) This is virtually the same chest as the Craftsman heavy duty 26" wide 6-drawer ball-bearing chest. Waterloo actually makes Craftsman tool boxes. If I were to do it again, I'd of bought that box for $105 on sale right now. Even when it is not on sale, the Sears chest is cheaper(than the shipped Amazon one) since you don't pay shipping for a 50 lb chest or the Prime cost which includes the shipping cost.
I went with this one based on the review stating it was in the same boat as Snap-On, but it is not at all in Snap-On territory. The only thing I can figure is that Waterloo cut WAY back on the quality of this box since '05. Not surprising... The box feels solid enough to last a lifetime in my use, which is minor repairs, maybe one per month with the box never moving from its shelf.

FLORES "ingkol`kid" (Northern California) - See all my reviews This review is from: Waterloo PMX2606BK 26-Inch Wide by 12-Inch Deep by 15-1/3-Inch High Black Chest with 6 Ball Bearing Drawers and Tri Channel Construction (Tools & Home Improvement) I purchased this tool box for storing my drill bits,Files,and mostly power tools accesories. The construction seems to be okay and rugged, all ball bearings seem to function well. But the drawer will not give you that perfect pull n push fit as we all wanted to be. When fully loaded it does give you a little effort to handle it. The lock will only hold the top cover and not guarantee to shut secure all the drawers if you dont push it in real good to engaged the notch on the back of the drawers with the other notch catching situated inside the back of the drawer I dont know about the two handles if it can hold the weight when fully loaded. Oh no, This thing aint moving out my garage shelf.
But overall for a $150 tool box including shipping your pretty much safe. |
