Intermediate tool chest

My tool collection is growing, I have a Kennedy roll around with a top box now and have been looking for a 26" intermediate tool chest to go between the roll around and top box. Doesn't concern me if it doesn't match just would like something half way good that is affordable.

Getting a little frustrated as it seems like most everything with the exceptions of the really high dollar stuff has gotten so cheap it's almost junk. This going by the reviews on current Craftsman, Waterloo and Kennedy offerings. Don't mind spending a few hundred but not thousand+

Guess it's either buy junk or hope I run into something at an auction or garage sale both of which I seldom go to.
 
I believe Menards has an intermediate tool box that is 26 inch 2 drawer!!! I have one of their larger boxes and I
am very pleased with it!!
 
Looked at Harbor Freight because heard good things about the tool boxes but didn't find any intermediate chests. Looks like I am down to making a decision between a Grizzly and Kennedy off Amazon.

We have Amazon prime and both are free shipping. Just afraid it will get destroyed in shipping. The Kennedy matches what I have but is more money and fewer drawers. Why is everything so durn hard...
 
One if my son's just bought me
a box from Menards, seems like
a good box. Drawers work
great. But it's still new, so
no long term reviews yet.
 
I am a heavy equipment mechanic and
use my box daily, I had a harbor
freight box for many years, excellent
quality, none of the slides ever
failed even on drawers loaded heavy
and used daily. I recently did buy a
used box the snap on guy had for 1000
bucks just because I needed more space
but I can't say the drawers work any
smoother etc
 
Have looked at Harbor Freight, only middle boxes they have are 56 inches wide. They have nothing on the web site that will fit my existing 26 inch Kennedy.

Had to go on hold for a bit, yesterday the AC unit in my shop quit, other than a PTA it doesn t owe me anything. was here when we bought the place 15 years ago and it was old then. $600.00 later I have a new unit sitting in the shop waiting on a couple buddies to come over and help me install it.

When everything you have is old seems something is always needing attention.
 
JUst a thought,HF makes a roll cart with 6 drawers,it looks like it is just bolted to a frame with wheels. Take
the top cover off and set your top on it. Just a thought, may not fit at all, but $200.00 is a cheap box.
 
Discovered Grizzly is running a special, free shipping over $75.00. Grizzly's price is 20 less than amazon so pulled the trigger on the Grizzly. Thanks for the tips gang now just have to hope it doesn't get beat up in shipping.
