OT: what tool chest do you use?, do you like it? Options

[siverson]

I currently have two old chests, one without ball bearings on the drawers, and it is getting harder and harder to use everyday.

I saw this at Home Depot and seems like a good deal...?

Take account of your tools to see how you might use the HD stack. Seems to me it has too many skinny drawers. It'll be hard to find anything to put there and your bigger tools will get stranded. As for the chests, the top surface is too small to be of much use and you don't want to be bending over to get commonly used tools. A stack with some deeper drawers up high will put common tools in easy view w/o bending.

Very valid points and great advise!! On my Snap-on "Classic 78" I have one large 4.5" deep top drawer that houses all my commonly used tools like sockets, wrenches breaker bars etc. This is the drawer that I do 90% of my work out of. My box has 4 total drawers that are 2" tall and IMHO that's too many. To get a tape measure inside I have to remove the belt clip(!) The really useful drawers are 4"+. You can use those for anything.
