I’ve made Buying Your New 13 drawer Toolbox Easy:
The biggest downfall with these new toolboxes is not the quality or the finish but actually ordering them from the Sears site. In my opinion ordering a toolbox off the Sears website is a real nightmare. There are hundreds of toolboxes available and trying to find the right one for you can be very difficult. Finding a specific box is even harder. So I’ve grouped the new heavy duty boxes below to make it easy for you to pick the right set for you.

@ Diane, No, just turn the box upside down (put some cardboard on the floor so you don’t scratch the top) If there are two metal slats with the casters, line them up with the holes and then screw the casters on.
Put the pivoting casters on the end of the box where you attach the handle (or the side with the handle already installed). It will be easier to move around that way.

I just need to know how to get the bottom draw out of my Craftsman tool cabinet in order to install the casters?
