I've heard this from others before. What is going into the tool cabinet that is so heavy as to cause a problem? All of my heavy stuff is in shelved cabinets so it doesn't matter.

You can get cheaper tool cabinets that still have good ball bearing drawers that work. All of my Mastercraft cabinets are in as-new condition (6-10 years old) and I use them very frequently.

I think getting a Snap-On or a Mac tool cabinet is probably a good idea; just don't buy a new one.
