6 or 5 drawer 26" wide 12" deep and around 20 to 23" height.

Don't want junk, but don't want Snap On prices either.

Found this but its probably junk.

Got a used SnapOn bottom and top drawer set for $150 online used.

Maybe check Harbor Freight? They have good prices here locally.

I got a Harbor Fright when I needed to work from an auxiliary location. It was obviosly a step down from the Strap On I'm used to but, it wasn't bad, pretty durable.

Harbor Freight US General Pro tool chests aren't that bad for the price.

Buy once cry once.
My Craftsman was junk after a few years. Bought my snap on used for almost same price I paid for my Craftsman

I have a three drawer Sears top box that's over thirty years old and still going strong without any problems.
But I don't know if the the new ones are built any better or worse.

I'm not sure on sizes, but look for a surplus machinist box.

Absolutely love mine, along with a pair of Craftsman, and a Snap On.

Those Milwaukee tool boxes at Home Depot are really good for the price. Better than the Harbor Freight ones. The single bank is $450 for the top and bottom.

Homak or Waterloo for mid priced. HF for cheap.

I just need the top box like this 26" w 12" deep and 23" tall.

That box doesn't meet your requirements as stated.

For something that small there isn't a whole lot of money to lose or much quality top shop around for. I would just get that Sears box.

its just a little on the poor quality side, but for $149 it may do the job.
