I know exactly what you are talking about. I bought both Craftsman and Kennedy over 30 years ago, and the Craftsman (I still have them) are junk. The Kennedy's are holding up great, but they are machinist's boxes and don't fit mechanics tools very well.
Just last year, I also acquired a Menards (Master Force) large top box, as I couldn't believe how well it was built. I have yet to transfer all of my tools as it will without a doubt require a whole day, and I'm too busy with other things. But it will happen, and I have been strongly considering getting a Master Force roll away to match.
Just my opinion, but I am a very scrutinizing shopper, and have looked at many brands of tool boxes over the years. From what I have seen, the Master Force boxes at Menards are the best bang for the buck when it comes to hand tool storage.
