Craftsman tool chests are more than good for the home mechanic. I have two roll-around chests.
Ball bearing draw slides are nice, but not an absolute necessity. More draws is better than a couple of deep draws (you can lay / spread out stuff in the extra draws, instead of digging through a deep drawer with everything piled in there.
Craftsman too boxes have two versions of "depth" for the top chests. One fits from the back to the front of the bottom chest. The other is several inches shorter than the bottom. You can put a lot more tools into the full depth ones.
The stainless steel chests that they sell at some of the big box stores are more than good enough.
If you have a Harbor Freight Tools store near you, they also have a tool chest of two that are decent, and at a good price.
The drawer liners are almost a necessity. But don't buy the liners that they sell specifically for tool boxes - they are expensive (I've seem them sell for around $5 a drawer). Instead, but "shelf liners" from WalMart or some such store. For a few bucks you can buy a large roll (something like $4 a roll) that will do several drawers. I seem to remember that I only needed two rolls to do my second roll-around too chest. They come in several colors (I couldn't find black at the time, so I used dark green - I later bought a black roll at Lowes and used it to cover the shelf/tray on the Elise). The shelf liners are almost exactly the same as the tool box drawer liners. :shrug:
