I am reworking a cabinet for use in the shop. It has a series of double doors that I am going to install slide out drawers to hold my hand power tools, like drills, circular saw, router, etc. I was looking at these (http://www.mcfeelys.com/product.asp?pid=MP-B550)drawer slides from McFeeley's. They are priced about $6 less than anything I can find around here. They seem to fit my application pretty well. I will be buying 4 sets, so they will save me a little more than $20, but I don't want to get these and then discover I should have spent more. What do you guys think?

Larry, You might also check out the ones Lee Valley sells http://www.leevalley.com/hardware/page.aspx?c=2&cat=3,43614&p=43616 as they might be a little less.

The ones you listed should do fine just be sure to get the ones rated for the appropriate lbs. that you need to carry.

You can buy these for about the same price and have six pair left over for another project:

DAVE!!!!!!!

I wish you would have said that (or posted that) about a month ago. I just dropped twice what the gliderights cost for the same number of slides.

Slides at that price make shop furniture with full extensions down right affordable.

Thanks for the post!
