I saw these a few months go at Harbor Freight, and thought they might be pretty handy for tools and parts and other things. They are the same quality as the larger US General toolboxes.
They were $18.99, which I thought was a good price.
Colors were red, blue, black.
Had to go down to Harbor Freight today to get some impact torx and hex drive 1/2" sockets.
They added (3) more colors —- purple, grey, and green.
Previous colors were $12.99, new colors were $14.99.
Bought all six colors.
These are really cool little tool boxes that will fit a lot of purposes.

How easy are the drawers to slide in/out?
Good find !
I got one from Lowes white color ,look like these but have Kobalt name on it . Draw pulling in and out not smooth
Wonder if they make trays or drawer dividers for these?
Steel, not plastic.

These have the double ball-Bering slides, just like the big boxes, they are powder-coated, they have rubber inserts in all three areas, magnetic closers, rubber non-skid tabs underneath.
I know a lot of professional mechanics who use US General large roll-away boxes. A good value and very tough, lifetime.
There are many dividers either available for these, or one can customize their own. Just look online, these are selling like hotcakes on Saturday morning.
Your wives or girlfriends will snag a couple of these from you very quickly.
For me, I see possible uses as small electrical parts, nuts & bolts, fasteners, 1/4" socket sets, wrenches, hobby stuff, tackle repair tools, sunglasses, knives, and maybe a few hundred other uses.
Snap-On has a comparable box for $131. Six of these cost me $84 + tax.
The difference in quality is "0".
Don't take my word for it, just go to HF, and check one out for yourselves. These are a solid and useful value. Anyone on our site will see and appreciate the super-surprising quality and price-value on these immediately.
They are so smooth and so well built. Plus attractive and immediately useful.
I got these for myself, but they would make excellent Christmas gifts also.
