yeah the BIG NAME boxes are nice, but my 40" wide craftsman does just fine, i think it's more in how you treat your box than the manufacturer... well except for those made in Taiwan "StackOn" boxes and other knock offs..
See, your talking about craftsman back in the day when the boxes were made right. I've seen and still see 40 year old craftsman boxes but anything nowadays wont last for a professional mechanic.

Seen it over and over. They buy a new craftsman box because its on sale for 120 bucks and in less than a year the drawers are sitting crooked.
