I've had a ball-bearing Craftsman box (red one) for about 5 years now, including 6 mo. time spent as a mechanic. It's held up well, except for the drawer stops. Even with the very slight grade of my garage floor, the stupid drawers won't stay closed. The positive stops it had when new seems to have worn out. I've noticed that the newer ones use the handle as a latch, which would certainly be better than the duct tape I'm currently using.
If you have a Sam's Club nearby, they sell a large stainless rolling box with ball-bearing drawers for under $500. It's tempted me many times. Harbor Freight also sells pretty decent looking boxes for cheap. Whatever you do, DON'T buy a box without ball-bearing drawer slides. I had a small one years ago, the full drawers would barely operate.
