Re: Tool Boxes

Harold, thanks for the repair post. I bought all of my kennedy tool boxes used and they are all friction slides. With the exception of one bottom roller box they slide pretty well. That bottom roller will get some attention now and the rest will as well as any improvement will be welcome. :wink: :D
