Although mine is a little smaller, ( no side or top boxes, those boxes can be a pain to move. I have moved mine 3 times. The 3rd being home 15 or 16 years ago. My brother has basically the same thing. He has moved his a lot. We do the same thing. Call a flatbed tow truck and hope its not damaged. Been lucky each time.
I'm cheap too, but some call me a tight ass!!!
Dealer gave way more for my trade in boxes double what I paid for them and had a promotion of top and bottom boxes ,but that was probably back in the 90's era. I paid 3500. I told myself that will be the last boxes I buy ,and I stuck to it except I kept my side hang on craftsman I had at home then sold top and bottom sears boxes after I retired.
There for a while back in the day we had three different brand dealers come to the shop. I did have an account with two but not anything big. It's awful easy to buy on credit and get in a bind as some guys did . Just like Christmas walking in a tool truck. Yikes.
I am too cheap also. I paid $7200 for the Box, Hutch, Hutch door, light, and stainless top. No way was I going to pay what they wanted. I rather have tools.
I rarely owed money. I tried mostly to pay cash for everything or get it paid off within a few weeks. Cash for the box also. Don't like those payments.
I am pretty sure my dealer did also. The older dealer who had been for years wouldn't warranty much of anything . When the new dealer came in it was night and day difference. He would repair ratchet wrenches on the spot under warranty. Really hated when he got out of it, he had family problems.
My Snap On dealer was really cool also. Actually a real good guy. That's how I got a great deal. I will say this though ( probably going to get it for saying ) But, the top of the line Matco boxes are better. I have had Snap On, Mac, and Matco boxes. I really think the Top line Matco boxes are built better. The reason I didn't buy one was the Matco dealer was a jerk and would not work with me. Maybe because I am cheap.. ......
I had to have my bottom drawer guides on top box full length replaced several times. The new dealer said I had too much weight in there. All my sockets in there. He said he would replace once more only. He was probably right but since it's not used daily ,it's not a issue now. I think some other boxes have double guides. I have seen on shows where they can stand in the drawers. There might be better as you say.My Snap On dealer was really cool also. Actually a real good guy. That's how I got a great deal.
