So the Gen 3 US General upper chest that I recently bought is worse than the 5 drawer mechanic's chest that I bought 4 or 5 years ago. The latches for the drawers are terrible. They are difficult to slide and often I have to use a screw driver to help them so the drawer will open. I've been leaving the drawers slightly open so it's not an issue. On the 5 drawer mechanics cart the latches work great. On that one the finger pull for the latch is only on the left side where as this box the slide is the full length. I don't know if HF cheapened the US general line to separate it from the higher priced toolboxes? If the 56" roller is as bad I'll probably just remove the latches and use the key to keep them from opening when needed. Other than that the box is pretty nice. I would have rather had a few more drawers that aren't as deep but otherwise it's good.
