Ron, You just nailed one of my biggest bitches with Craftsman roll cabs. The damn casters are to small and they don't lock. Service technicians are required to move their tool boxes to the car they are working on. I can't tell you how many times some poor sap with one of those Craftsman roll cabs with a top-box had it take off across the shop. One time one of the guys had his box side-swipe a brand new Mercedes 560 and an open drawer put a really nice scratch down the side. I also remember a couple of guys who caught one of those little casters in an expansion joint in the floor and the whole thing went over. This certainly isn't meant as an indictment against Sears tool cabinets, its just what I have seen happen with several of them over the years.

We almost lost it on the floor. It is very heavy with tools and the castors don't lock. Don't try that at home.

I realize that you would have fun re-organizing the contents, but that should dislodge the errant socket set. Yours Truly, Clifford Wilson ----- Original Message ----- From: Ron Yearns To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, January 01, 2009 10:04 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] tool cabinet OK help. I have a roll around Sears Craftsman tool cabinet. Steel 4 drawer locking. Here is what has happened. A set of sockets in a plastic case was lain in the bottom drawer on top of some other stuff , somehow in shutting the drawers it slid and is setting vertical behind something else. Anyway the second drawer up will not shut and the bottom is not asseble because the second drawer up is being pulled out with this plastic case. We, myself and sighted wife have looked and can find no latches to free the drawer on top so we could pull it entirely out of the cabinet and fix things. Is there a hidden catch or am I going to have to saw part of the back out of the upper drawer so I can fish my hand down into the other one.
