Damned tough rollaway

[pwd72s]

One of those "If I had it to do over things". Impressed with the drawers carry system using wheel bearings and the 400 pounds drawer weight. No gimmicks like lighting or power outlets...just a damned rugged looking box. Canadian made.

The only place I remember seeing Tekton Tools sold is Walmart?

That rollaway looks very nice.

Being touted on various car guy sites & youtube as a good replacement line for the weekend warriors who formerly bought USA made Craftsman. Very decent tools...some made USA, mostly Taiwan... Not to be confused with China..not yet anyway.

I ma happy with my long ago paid for box, and all the tools in it. I am really glad I am not lloking to buy tools, except the occasional special tool I just gotta have.

Well, not going to dump my old USA made Craftsman "griplatch" rollaway for one...but if I was looking to buy, yeah...something I'd definitely consider because of the drawer and slide design. Looks stronger than even snap-on.

In the late 90's I bought a top box Craftsman. Maybe 40 inches wide. Retail was $1500. I got it for $900 for logistics mix-up reasons from the Sears tool store.

It was made by Waterloo for Craftsman.

The subject box looks stronger, though. However, I have never had a too much weight for a drawer issue. I have had too many drawers open at once and the box started to tip towards me but luckily saved. Looks like the subject box will not allow that to happen which is outstanding.

All I need is $3,633.

Thanks for the post.

I did just order a Tekton metric 1/2" drive socket set since my USA Craftsman metric 1/2" drive were 12 point. So, when it arrives, I'll have a clue about Tekton quality vs. Craftsman..

You did well, Bob...my 3 stack of Craftsman ball bearing "griplatch" is only 26" wide...often wish I'd gone wider. Also made in USA by not sure who. Think I paid around $1,400 for the 3. May have overloaded a socket drawer though. It's jammed full. I've noticed that the handle of the drawer below it just barely scrapes a bit when I open that drawer. So, maybe a bit of sag in the socket drawer? It all functions though, so I'm not going to mess with it.

Also..yep! One drawer at a time!
