Is this a good option to carry a small number of tools around? It's obv heavy but more organized. I'm guessing I should stick with my less organized multiple polyester tool bags.

I've had the non-ball bearing version of this box for a decade and its great for storing a smaller mechanics tool set. Metric sockets and wrenches in one drawer, standard in another, one drawer for random smaller stuff, and in the top compartment larger wrenches, 1/2 in sockets, and bigger stuff. I will be picking this offer up to retire my current, beat-up one. Looking forward to the ball-bearing drawers. This is a great size for around the house/vehicle, but does get heavy when loaded. If I need to move it some distance for a job I'll "hand-truck" it on top of a Ridgid rolling box that I use for power tools.

Thanks. I'll stick to the lighter portable bags and check out the rolling boxes during BF.

Would buy this in a heartbeat if it were the Sears version - Lowe's stuff is lightweight junk.

I bought a 3 craftsman 26.5 tool chest set from Lowes 2 years ago on clearance. (Brand new & not dents etc) It was easy to put together, but the drawers wouldn't close correctly. Their soft close drawer system sounds good on the box. I must have went through 3 cans of spray lubricant before the drawers would open & close properly.

I also have an older craftsman tool chest that I bought in the 1990's & I have never had any issues with the drawers sticking like the new set.

The cheapest US General tool box is well over $200 and isn't portable at all.

HD I think still sells a similar Husky box. They are pretty decent in quality. However you may be better served by surfing your local FB/CL - the older Sears Craftsman boxes are there all the time. I got all of mine that way, and I think I paid $40 for the most expensive one, which was an unused rally box. The others were around $10-20. The rally style are nice as they have a cantilevered tray on top which is nice.

Sad to hear this may be low quality. Pretty sure I got mine from Sears some years ago. Looks almost the same as this but I can tell it's a bit different. Mine treats me really well.

These are not your grandfather's or even your father's Craftsman quality.

These are comparable with Harbor Freight (HF has been improving, unlike Craftsman).

They are very light duty. Don't expect to use them too often, or put too much into them. They're flimsy with thin metal, horrible ball bearing rails that grind and skip, and random finishing mistakes that should be reserved for "seconds" or "refurbs" -- random blotches of paint, metal burrs, sharp plastic moulding edges, etc.

You know, the exact opposite of "Craftsmanship".
