I haven't ordered any 8-167 in awhile. Took months to get ball bearing slides in last year. You have to understand that we can't continue to produce slides for a 30 plus year old toolbox forever. But if you call customer care they will take care of you.
I don't deny warranty unless it is obvious abuse. Might as well just buy gearwrench same thing as Matco. Snapon is a tool manufacturer. We don't just stick our name on someone else's tools.
