[AT] OT: roll around tool box recomendations

[Larry D. Goss]

FWIW, I'm in the process of looking for a replacement toolbox for my
shop.  I'm retiring a Sears unit that has simply started coming apart.
The automatic drawer locking arrangement that operates when the top lid
is opened and closed simply flexed itself to death.  I welded one of the
locking arrangements a few years ago, but now the one on the opposite
side has broken off as well.  The box is not exactly new.  It's old
enough that it is painted rather than being powder-coated, but the next
time I'll pay closer attention to the locking mechanism.  I don't need
to have the box locked, but I don't want the mechanism to malfunction.

David, I have a fairly large roll-around Craftsman with ball bearing
slides 
that I like OK.  It sure is nice to be able to keep my tools in
reasonable 
order.  Not cheap but better price than over-rated Snap-on (IMHO).
Sears 
also sells a nice plastic magnitized tray for organizing your sockets.
The 
sockets lay horizontal so they don't require a deep drawer--and are easy
to 
lift out with the tray to place temporarily in a portable tool box.
