Sears sold the Craftsman tool line to Stanley Tools. They cut a deal with Lowe's and are now selling Craftsman tools. I was examining the tool chest and I noticed the drawers didn't operate smoothly. Has anyone else noticed this? Is Craftsman going downhill? What brand toolbox would you buy?

@Stereoguy Sounds like a good problem to have. Getting both boxes that is. Annoying about the sockets.

@Stereoguy Thats the bargain one right? Maybe a bit of cleaning on the drawer slides and some silicone spray is all they'd need to make them just as smooth

@Stereoguy Chiese made stuff is notorious for being pretty filthy, if you ever buy soething from China it's often got a layer of machine dust all over it. Even so, just how bad are the drawer? will you be using them for work and opening them and closing all day? And again, they might be different when you have a lot of weight in them. I'd be going for the one I could see in, which to me would be less annoying than slightly sticky drawers
