Dropped that box getting it out of the truck, pranged one set of drawer slides. No luck trying to straighten them.

These are straight light-duty slides, not the ball-bearing type. I see plenty of BB slides on Fee Bay, but no non-BB.

I guess if I had to, I could adapt but I'd rather have the old style.

Any leads appreciated.




Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

Any chance you are a member of the garage journal forum? It's kind of an equivalent of SF but for tools. I haven't been too active there recently, but I know the members there would have some good ideas for something like this.

If you need any help, feel free to reach out to me.

I needed to replace some drawer slides and was surprised to find a huge, in stock inventory at HD

Contact Matco with the box model and see if they will get one to you.
When we had a Matco guy that showed up he got me some for mine.
I need some more and one of these days I'll e-mail them about getting some more as that truck went poof years ago.

Just because you can,
doesn't mean you should

^^^That or if they don't have them, try a Snap-on dealer or the main company website. That's where I got some several years ago.

I saw your box looks just like an older Proto box.
For slides try kennedy.
I think they are the same if you need any dimensions from kennedy slides to compare let me know.
