I've got one of their cheaper lower boxes that has the regular slides. The drawers definitely would not hold up to a pro's usage. My upper box has ball bearing slides and I've managed to load up some of the drawers pretty good and they still perform well after 30 years of amateur use.

That's what I discovered when shopping for a rollaway...Craftsman had several quality levels offered. Several layers of pricing as well. The "griplatch" models were made of a heavier gauge steel, had ball bearing slides, and latched closed so they wouldn't open when rolling the chest.

I assume Sears wasn't alone when offering several grades of quality?

I noticed that Harbor freight offers a couple of different lines of rollaways as well. Ball bearing slides a definite must have in my opinion.

Edit: Leaky..I do the same. Old memory combined with not doing much wrenching these days...often opening several drawers before finding what I was looking for. At least I return stuff to the rollaway tho...better than leaving it just laying somewhere...
