Sammy- I liked the catch / drawer pulls. Some may not get too dirty but if I'm in the grime and grease, I like a positive and no slip on the drawer pulls.

Some of the other brands at Menards sure looked fancy in stainless, but had awful and stubborn drawer pulls (and I wasn't Mr. Greasy either.) Chincy China types. Bump them once and the drawer or slide is toast.

I have a 70's era Snap-on that's well trashed but still works good. No trim or extra fancy on the pulls and only has a curled down lip. They built them well back when and simple. Drawers are always in alignment when one pushes them closed from the side. Good luck trying that on most cabinets today and with a load of tools. It may work for awhile but do it repeatedly and they're junk.

Also have a few of the old Craftsman, roller / chest combo's. They've taken the beating, bumps and bruises. Far less quality than the old Snap-on but still decent. I think the steel is thicker than the new Craftsman.

Some of these new boxes with gas charged struts for the chest lids, Craftsman with built in radio and junk.... yikes. And whats with having to use a step stool for these? Much rather have two smaller cabinets or go with a wider.
