This is what mama is getting me for my birthday:

We were walking through the store and she stopped me to look at it. I fell in love. It has a liner in every drawer, power strip, fridge, stereo, led lights (battery powered...but, I can convert to a dc power supply with some stuff from work), meaty casters, stainless steel........yeah, I want it bad.

The fridge is a little overkill but that's pretty slick...especially for a home tool box...
That's real tempting now for me hah
oh and the Harbor Freight tool boxes are actually pretty nice, they slide open and close VERY nicely, the deep drawers have 2 sets of bearings sliders just like the expensive ones..nice drawer setup..only turn off is the dull wrinkly paint...if it was shiny smooth paint I prob would have got one by now....I'm disappointed in the Sears ones, they just seem too thin and cheap feeling, even though they got ball bearing drawers they aren't very smooth, or maybe it's just me? Then again I do it for a living, but would it would be fine for a home box.

I have a harbor freight tool box. Love it. Has served me well for the last 8 years. Drawers open and close fine, locks all work, liners still good.

Just not enough room. Nowhere near enough.
Going to use the new "biggun" for home and take my old "HF" to work.

Cant go wrong at all. And umm EVERYTHING is warrentied. If anyone says differant, Umm I'll take care of it for u, at least all my tools and stuff is warrentied, or I just go get another one from the truck.

If I didnt have my Snap-On I would go get the Kobalt one at Lowe's. My craftsman box slides took a dump after about a year also and their almost as expensive as the box to replace them.
i had a decent size craftsman box and it took a dump after almost 6 months of me having my heavy impact tools and such in it...i now have a 64" Cornwell Troy Lee Designs special edition box with a full size hutch on top. i LOVE IT. Now, i am a full time mechanic so there is more of a point of me having a $9.5k Toolbox that unfortunately is already almost full(AHH another $5k for a top box i think 
)
) I have a craftsman about like that with a few more sections in the middle. I use it every day at work, and it works fine for me. Dont bother with anythng but the ball bearing if you plan on putting heavier tools in it, but other than that they work fine, especially for home use. The price is decent, but they are pretty much always on sale around that price every few months. If you havent joined craftsman club, definetly do that, and next time they have a craftsman club sale it is normally about $20 or so cheaper than the sale price.

I have the craftman ballbearing toll box pretty close to the one you pictured and have had it for a few years now with no problem other than it is over full. I like it.
