Costco again has the large 2 pc. roller cabinet tool boxes made of stainless steel. I bought mine about a year ago and have been very pleased with it. Lots of drawers and extension roller slides, even comes with the rubber mats for the drawers, all for $659. A hundred more than I paid but still an incredible value.

If your in the market for a new toolbox then I would highly recommend these boxes from Costco.

I have seen the same boxes at Sam's and Costco. Everytime I am in there I take a close look at them. Almost too good to be true. I have always been skeptical about this type of purchase from one of the big box stores, however I have heard from several sources, including on Stovebolt.com, that these boxes are the real deal, especially for the money. I anticipate purchasing one during my next visit.

I bought mine at Sams a couple of years ago. I don't know what I did without it. It's great.

I've seen them and was wondering if it was hard to get to tools in the back of the drawers? The drawers don't seem to open more than half drawer.

My craftsman chest have the drawers that come way out. Ball bearing drawer slides are important when you have a lot of heavy tools in there. The issue maybe liablity or the box tipping over. The craftsman box warns you not to have too many drawers open or the thing might tip over.

I've looked at these boxes as well...great deal..but make sure you've got help and a decent sized truck to get it home...it's very heavy.
