They are rubbish!

The black Industrial ones are good though, but nothing else

They are hit and miss depending on who they are currently outsourcing manufacturing to. I have an older 12 drawer top box and its actually made by Craftsman in the states (as all the part numbers for the spares are identical and the instruction show it as being made there_. At various stages they have sourced things from Taiwan and they dont always seem to have the same quality.

very true....i have seen differences between the same model at 2 different branches. i wouldnt buy one online, go into the store and check it before you part with your cash

The black industrial one has been on offer at £300 for top and bottom as a bundle recently so might be worth holding on to see if it comes back after Christmas.
