Drawer Slides

[H. Gregory Porter]

I am undertaking the task of upgrading kitchen and shop cabinets from fixed shelves to rollout trays. I just received this link from Woodpecker Tools about bulk purchases of drawer slides.

Is anyone familiar with this company and the quality of products they sell? This price is about 40% less than I expected. I am old enough to be concerned that a deal isn't always a deal. I don't want to have to replace this bargain hardware with what i should have bought in the first place.

I think the same slides can be had from woodworkershardware.com for even less. At any rate, I have installed 16" and 26" slides from woodworkershardware and am happy with them.

100lb slides are generally massive overkill for a residential kitchen. They would be da bomb for heavily loaded shop cabinets and filing cabinets.
