Many professional and home mechanics choose Snap-On toolboxes to store their tools. Snap-On now uses ball bearing slides for the toolboxes that prevent the drawer from falling out of the box while maintaining a smooth operation. Occasionally, though, tools fall behind the drawers requiring drawer removal to grab the tool. Removing the drawers from a Snap-On toolbox with ball bearing slides is literally a snap compared to other types of toolbox drawers.
