Blum Tip-on and Heartland Hardware

[Jim Terrill]

Does anyone have any experience with the Blum Tip-ons? I'm going to be building a dresser and was thinking about using these for a really clean look with tandem slides. Here is the blum page on them:

The second part, does anyone have any experience with Heartland Hardware? Their prices are way under rockler or woodcraft for the slides, it looks like the slides (21") are ~20, plus the locking parts at ~2 and the rear brackets for .80 each. So it doesn't look like screws are included, but at <$25 a set, I'm wondering if I am missing something since they are so much less than the other stores.

While I'm not certain, I don't know if you can use those with the soft close slides. Unless that was never you plan, then nevermind.

No experience with them specifically. If that's the soft close variation that is cheaper than what I get them for on my wholesale account. Unless its a standard self closing slide, then its still pretty high.

That is for the standard slides, the tip-on cannot be used with the blu-motion slides since they would be trying to close and fight the tip-on piece that is trying to open the drawers. Th soft close would be nice for kitchen cabinets, but for a dresser I'd rather have the pop to open drawers than the soft close.
