Problem solved
After searching online for what feels like weeks, and looking at pretty much every kind of box there is out there
One example of my Craigslist experience is;
I drove from Central Burnaby to White Rock as a guy had a cab and box for sale for $100
I asked him if it has roller or friction slides. He tells me it's roller. I drive 45 mins and it's FRICTION slides
I made him feel so guilty I got a Porter Cable Tiger Saw for $50 in a case, but I'm still miffed about it
So, after TOO much stressing about "am I going to find a box in time for my new job", I went to Sears tonight
Perfect time for tool pricing as the new catalog is out for next year
I bought a chest/cab combo that's made by SPG International
Positive closing roller slides, double-wall construction, 600lb chest and 1,600lb cab
Can't be happier for $520 before tax
Had to convince the manager to let me take the demo chest as shipping was too late for the new job
Only thing I don't like is how the casters are mounted
Stock is sheet screws. I'll add 1/4" bolts, nylocs and washers
Otherwise, no complaints
Solid build, nice slides for the money, sturdy solid composite casters, but no re-enforcement where it should
They claim 1,600 lbs, and I'll test it with all my work tools before the warranty runs out
For those who care;
I could have spent $400 @ Home Depot for a Husky set, and would have brought home a single-wall construction unit with pop-riveted ball-bearing slides made in China
I bought a made in Canada unit, from a company that even KMS sells
Some canuck and some off-shore parts, but still good build quality for the price
Good buy
It's not the best pic, but here it is
I had to rotate the pic, so the box and I are a bit skewed
Does this pic make my head look weird ?
All I hear in my head is, do these pants make my butt look big ?
Yes, but it's not your head dear, it's he pic, honestly !
