Here I go again , with the cheap tool questions . Tool Boxes

Anybody have a HF, HD, Lowes , Craftsman , or other newer tool box ?
I need a roll around beater for the shop . Id like a smaller double bay , ( mostly for the counter top space ) , just to keep my most used tools ( Wheel sockets, hammers, screwdrivers , wrenches etc ) stuff in, and roll around from job to job in the shop and to double as work space .
Before Speeder yells at me for being a professional using cheap tools, please understand, my days of financing 10k tool boxes are over . I currently have 2 really large Snap on boxes, 3 medium snap on boxes, and a few Craftsmans floating around . They are built to last, work perfect, are beautiful, but are crazy expensive . I would rather put that money into PIWIS or something that makes me the bread .
I'm looking at used Snap on, but would still be 2k+ for what I want used prob 5 k new I was looking at lowe's last night, and $500, gets a decent looking unit . $700 is really nice, they seem to be fairly heavy built for the money .
If were to get 5 years out of it , it would be a good deal for me .
I just wonder if the casters and slides will hold up to constant use. I remember the guys with the big craftsman boxes in the old days , would break drawers when they weighed them down real good, they would also tip over pretty easy when full .
Anybody have one , any feedback ?
